Several sources are reporting that Iran has bought land for an intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) base on the Paraguana Peninsula in Venezuela. Iranian IRBMs have an estimated range of 1,200 miles or so, but experts have consistently underestimated their missile program. Miami is about 1,350 miles away, New Orleans is 1,900 miles away - you get the picture. In fact, if you had a couple with 2,600 mile range, you could pop two at 300 miles above Kansas City and fry the entire electrical network of the U.S. with the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) for 2 or more years including computers, cars, airplanes - pretty much everything that has a computer chip.
The
Monroe Doctrine was first articulated in 1823 by President James Monroe and stated that other powers should not mess in the Western Hemisphere and that we reserved the right to take action if they did. I suggest that a revival of the
Monroe Doctrine is in order and make it very plain that this site - or anything remotely like it - will never go operational. Period. Is anybody in DC listening?
