A Nuclear Fort Sumter

On MSN today, John Bolton is in the news for claiming that "regime change" may be the only way to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. That's right, and he likes the idea of regime change in the Sudan as well. A pity Bolton didn't say what he thought about overthrowing France.

How about regime change in Georgia instead? Not Georgia the former Soviet Republic, Georgia the home of the sad sack Atlanta Hawks.

Recently, a committee of the Georgia state senate responded to Virginia's apology for slavery by unanimously passing a resolution declaring April as Confederate Heritage Month.

Talk about hating America and American values! There are many things that worry me about the Georgia resolution. What about the influence of Georgia on other former Confederate states like Alabama and Mississippi? What are the military budgets of these states? Is there a danger of a neo-Confederate rebellion to bring back the good old days.

But what really worries me is whether there are nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction stored in Georgia facilities?

People worry about al-Qaeda launcing a nuclear Pearl Harbor. What about a nuclear Fort Sumter?

Maybe it's time to put our own house in order.

Maybe it's time for regime change in Georgia.
