BB's endless and illiterate reiteration that Iran should not be allowed to violate the NPT reeks of the sort of hypocrisy we've come to accept from neo-con apologists and reflects the increasingly desperate stomping of feet and banging of fists on tables we've all come to expect from a right-wing utterly devoid of any moral integrity, who can only make noise to try to deflect the increasing volley of criticisms aimed at them.

Coming from the only country ever to have used nuclear WMDs against targets knowing it would inflict massive civilian casualties, who encourages WMD proliferation in its own interest and is creating new long-range missile systems and who have violated the NPT themselves with their dubious policy of 'nuclear sharing' - in violation of Articles I and II of the NPT - both the US and NATO have ignored this, and the US has nuclear WMDs sited in five European countries.
