The Unholy Axis

clipped from www.nypost.com We know Iran bought uranium-enrichment technologies from the Khan ring. It could easily have bought this blueprint, as well - or, perhaps, stolen a copy from an unwary ring operative. But the real lesson here is that stopping nuclear proliferation is almost impossible in the digital age. When sensitive and supposedly top-secret information can be transmitted around the world at the click of a mouse, the only sure safeguard against a rogue regime acquiring nuclear weapons is . . . removing the rogue regime. The president who best understood this was not George W. Bush, but Bill Clinton. Back in February 1998, Clinton warned an audience at the Pentagon: "We have to defend our future" from an "unholy axis" of rogue nations using the global economic system to try to get weapons of mass destruction. Yes, Clinton spoke of an "unholy axis" four years before Bush coined the phrase "axis of evil."

How about that memory hole, huh?
