Kaarmalizing Iran

     Any western Montanan who has not been living under a rock for the past year should recognize the name Marcus Kaarma. He is the man who shot and killed a 17 year old German exchange student who was burglarizing, aka garage hopping, his garage. I do not intend to retry the case, but I think the part most would agree on is that the disliked, neighborhood nut overreacted when he killed a likeable, neighborhood teenager for burglary. I think it is a good illustration of the deal our president is trying to broker with nuclear Iran. Iran is the nutty, unstable neighbor in the Middle Eastern neighborhood. Lifting sanctions against Iran would be like helping Marcus Kaarma make a better living knowing he would use some of that money to buy more guns and ammunition. Even if Kaarma promised that this time he would not use the weapons to kill anybody, most people would know that the word of the neighborhood nut isn't worth very much. It would mean especially little to the next door neighbor, in Iran's case, Israel, if Kaarma had repeatedly expressed the desire to wipe them out. These Israeli next door neighbors are not garage hopping, they are on their own property, minding their own business. And we clueless buttinskys, led by President Neville Chamberlain, are parking a weapons welcome wagon in their driveway. Kaarma reaped his karma when he went to prison for murder and, if our president has his way, we will reap ours.
