As the results of Pennsylvania’s primary propel the Democratic campaign into the elections in Indiana and North Carolina, Americans have got to seriously think whether they are going to allow a dangerous person for US national security to claim the Democratic nomination.

It would rather appear odd to portray Senator Hillary Clinton as perilous for US security, but few can suggest that her previous role of America’s First Lady enabled her to demonstrate what her presidential caliber might ever be.

Due to America’s destination as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, and because of the position of post-WW II America in the world politics, a US president’s talent is principally revealed in the sphere of foreign policy, an area constitutionally reserved mainly for the US president to decide.

Constitutionally, a US First Lady simply does not exist, when it comes to US foreign policy. Senator Clinton did not prove to be a geo-strategic genius and a rich conceptual thinker. Her choices are unclear, and when clear questionable.

Irrelevant, inconsistent and utterly disastrous President Hillary Clinton

As the ongoing campaign brings issues to surface, we start getting an idea about how irrelevant, inconsistent and utterly disastrous for America an eventual President Hillary Clinton might be.

Yesterday morning, Clinton’s threat to ‘obliterate’ Iran, expressed in an ABC interview, highlighted all at once her incapability to deal with a great number of issues ranging from Oil prices and Energy worries to Global Security and Eurasia.

Perhaps Clinton’s Persian deviation has not been noticed by many people in America, as the subprime mortgage crisis, the rising Oil prices, a great number of environmental issues, and the economic outlook monopolize the local interest to great extent. Even fewer can understand how easily a statement like that can make all the US economic parameters collapse. It would however be rather advisable to focus on her answer, as her words augur nothing positive for the US and the entire world.

When closely examining presidential candidate Clinton’s answer, we are stunned by her ignorance of international politics, over-simplicity when dealing with complex issues, and – above all – a state of mind and a way of thinking that are not permissible to a tribal chieftain, let alone the US president.

At this point, it is necessary to quote Hillary Clinton’s words: “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”

Despite the fact that Clinton’s campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson insisted that she was not alluding to a nuclear strike, she did not hesitate to reaffirm the earlier reference during a later interview with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann! She specified: “We used (deterrence) very well during the Cold War when we had a bipolar world and what I think the president should do and what our policy should be is to make it very clear to the Iranians that they would be risking massive retaliation were they to launch a nuclear attack on Israel”.

Although many commentators attempted to interpret her possible intentions and evaluate whether she intends to be presiding the US during a nuclear war, I believe it would be rather beneficial to highlight the following points.

Hillary Clinton’s Ignorance of International Politics

The Iranians will never attack Israel with nuclear weapons, except we refer to the eventual use of micro-nuclear bombs and devices that, used by suicide bombers in Haifa and Tel Aviv, will create a havoc necessary for a most drastic Palestinian uprising. This certainly remains a possibility, but in this case Iran will not fire any missile, and the inconsiderate US presidential candidate will find no proof to possibly substantiate her allegations.

However, imagining a nuclear Iranian attack against Israel is a matter of sheer ignorance for anyone, let alone a US presidential candidate. The Iranian leadership certainly want collectively to totally exterminate the state of Israel, and in their determination they are joined by the great majority of all the Muslims of the world, who– right or wrong – never accepted the fact ‘Eretz Israel’. But neither Iran nor any other Muslim / Islamic country will ever attempt to fire a nuclear missile on Israel. The reason is very simple.

A significant nuclear explosion anywhere in Israel would make regular daily life impossible in Jerusalem. Named Al Quds ash Sherif (the Great Faraway City), Jerusalem is holy for every Muslim, and this includes the Iranian leadership and any Muslim intending to cause damages to Israel. Being the holy city par excellence for the three religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Jerusalem is mainly venerated by Muslims for having been the location where the Miraj (the Prophet’s nocturnal trip to the Holy Rock and the subsequent prayer and rise to Celestial Jerusalem) occurred. It is noteworthy that the very first Muslims were turning to Jerusalem for prayer, having therefore a different Qiblah (direction) than that followed by Muslims in later periods down to our days. For every Muslim, any act of intentional destruction of Jerusalem and the surrounding area is utterly sacrilegious – a word certainly unknown and meaningless to Hillary Clinton.

In fact, expecting an Iranian nuclear attack against Israel is pathetic; it means that you are totally unable to estimate what your rival’s possible acts may be. This is absolutely detrimental, when it comes to US interests in the Middle East.

Hillary Clinton’s Incapacity to Deal with Complex Issues

Assuming that the Iranians may finally decide to fire on Tel Aviv a nuclear missile with a Hiroshima type atomic bomb (which is not probable, but we take it here as a working hypothesis), one should question whether the correct US answer would be a total obliteration of Iran.

First of all, even a micro-nuclear explosion in Tel Aviv or Haifa will be a dramatic US failure in terms of security policy, Middle East strategy, anti-terrorist intelligence, and prevention capacity.

It is highly questionable whether the present administration or a hypothetical Clinton administration will ever be in a position to compose a convincing Iran containment policy. Israel cannot be ‘used’ in this regard because, according to US interests, it is the country to be protected; the protector and the protected cannot be possibly identified. As a matter of fact, any involvement of the Zionist state would trigger a rather unsolicited Anti-American and Anti-Western tsunami within the Islamic World.

Turkey is enough to eliminate potential Iranian threats

Turkey is the only force capable to disperse all chances of a Middle Eastern involvement of Iran. America, driven by an ominously anti-American, pro-British part of the US establishment, has long pushed Turkey to further integrate with the EU. This corresponds only to British interests but as political objective, it is in straightforward conflict with vital US interests spanning from Eastern Mediterranean to Central Asia.

For Hillary Clinton to save Israel, a Turkish – Azeri secular state union should become the key to all future developments in Eurasia; with Georgia in the picture and with Turkey in Northern Iraq, the pro-American forces of Ankara and Baku should focus their efforts of legitimate expansionism on Iran.

Iran is a vast country made up of different nations, ethnic and religious groups that shared common values for many long centuries and their homogeneity dates back in the Pre-Islamic era. The unilateral and tyrannical policies of the theocratic Shia Persian Ayatullah regime have by now disturbed and disrupted this historical homogeneity.

These policies do currently consist in a real threat for the Azeris, the Turks, the Soranis, the Goranis, the Ahl-e Haq, the Christian Aramaeans, the Loris, the Bakhtiaris, the Zoroasterians, the Bahais, the Baluchis, and other local ethno-religious groups that represent slightly more than 50% of Iran’s population (74 million people).

By fomenting an Azeri – Turkish insurgence in Iran, Turkey can trigger the final dismemberment of Iran, and the rise of a Euro-Asiatic Union of democratic, secular Turkic-speaking states, eliminating at the same time potential Iranian threats against Israel and Islamic terrorist threats against the entire world.

This scenario would help divert Anti-Americanism and Anti-Semitism, generating completely new dynamics within the Islamic World, and turning decisively the balance of power against the Russian – Chinese Euro-Asiatic landmass schemes.

Hillary Clinton’s Impermissible State of Mind

Quite unfortunately for the first US female presidential candidate, it’s not ignorance of international politics or incapacity to deal with complex issues what consists in her most detrimental insufficiency; it’s her impermissible state of mind.

Hillary Clinton’s personal desire and political choice to portray herself as a potentially strong president is her greatest disadvantage; one has reason to believe that this attitude reflects basic parameters of her mindset. Instead of further analyzing it, one should rather examine the side effects of an inconsiderate response to an eventual Iranian aggression. A US attack or counterattack would indeed trigger the most unexpected and the most brutal violence in the History of the Middle East.

For decades, lack of education and socioeconomic development throughout the entire region matched with widespread acceptance of a false version of politically portentous Islam. To hundreds of millions of ignorant and uncultured masses spanning from Morocco to Indonesia little matters what were the commonly accepted Islamic values for the great philosophers and erudite scholars of the Islamic Ages. Modern, false, Islam is a very different system – and this is not easily perceived.

When poverty, humiliation, discrimination, historical – national – cultural de-personification, and lack of education are mixed with the feeling of being unjustly treated, marginalized, exploited, and stripped of anything, natural resources to national pride, people turn to their ignorant religious leaders for guidance. These ‘leaders’ cannot be contested by US-friendly dictators and bogus-kings.

These ‘spiritual’ leaders will immediately depict an anti-Israeli, anti-American and anti-Western leader as the long awaited Mahdi al Montazar, the Islamic version of the legendary Messiah. Then, in no-time, presidents and kings either will promise allegiance to the new leader-designate or will disappear in a domino effect that the US simply will not be able to influence.

With the surety due to the consideration of the fact that the ‘opponent’ is led by an inferior being (a female president), an Islamist tsunami will burn Oilfields throughout the Gulf and the peninsula, sending Oil prices above US $ 1000. Not a single Western will be left alive in the entire area, and there will be no Palestinian Muslim absent from the Final Battle for the Obliteration of Israel – caused deliberately by the hypothetically strong US president Hillary Clinton.

If the American Democrats like this scenario, they should vote for her!
