 Three
days have now passed since the Virginia Tech shootings and
it seems to me that everyone's moved past the grief and
outrage stages and right to the blame. "It's the gun
store's fault! It's the counseling center's fault! It's
the school's fault! It's the movie's fault!"
Stop it. The only one at fault is the guy who pulled the
trigger; end of story. By focusing on the blame, we're all
missing the bigger point: school shootings aren't the
problem; they're just a symptom of the problem. The world
has a serious illness and unless we address that, unless we
fight the actual disease, then school shootings and suicide
bombings and child molesters and all the other world's evils
won't stop. First step to recovery is admitting we have a
problem. Glenn-to-Earth: we have a problem.
We put band-aids on massive bleeding-wounds and then we're
shocked when they get infected and don't heal. Iran is a
perfect example of that. We try to wrap them up in U.N.
bandages and then we're surprised when they haven't just
decided to play nice all of a sudden.
Last week I told you that the tipping point with Iran would
be when they start to ban U.N. inspectors. Well, the Real
Story tonight is that while we've all been focused on
Virginia, that's exactly what they've done.
A "secret" U.N. memo -- and great job keeping that secret
since we're talking about it -- reveals that not only is
Iran now running over 1,300 centrifuges and beginning to
enrich uranium, but they've also now preventing U.N.
inspectors from visiting the construction site of their
heavy water plutonium plant. That is a huge step backwards
because if that ban on inspections extends to their uranium
facility -- and I have no doubt that's what Iran is setting
us up for -- then we've lost our last line of defense. Once
those inspectors are gone from the uranium plants, then,
unfortunately, so is any hope of solving this through
sanctions and diplomacy.
