The Rational Egoist

Welcome to my blog. My name is Steve Giardina. I consider myself to be a student of the philosophy of Objectivism, and these are my many thoughts. Feel free to leave comments, as well as your opinions.

"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours." Ayn Rand

Weapons of Mass Destruction [Posts] — Steve Giardina @ 3:30 pm

According to U.S. intelligence, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction claimed to exist by the U.S. may have been located.

U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies, because the containers with the strategic materials are not in Iraq.

Instead they are located in Lebanon’s heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents, Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in tomorrow’s new weekly edition.

The United States has a clear enemy: Islamic fundamentalsm. Islamic fundamentalism is strong in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, etc. The governments of these countries are striving to achieve weapons of mass destruction programs, and firmly support a large number of Islamic terrorists groups including Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, etc. These countries and terrorist groups are also a threat to the state of Israel.

The United States can easily wipe out this enemy. We clearly have the military might to eradicate the governments of these countries and all of the terrorist groups that they support. Combined with the strength of the Israeli military, we could easily eliminate these threats to our country.

Why haven’t we done so? Why haven’t we eradicated the terrorist threat against us? Moral uncertainty. The United States is losing its moral certainty that it has the right, as a free nation, to attack all countries that threaten us. As a result, the leaders of The United States and Israel, instead of clearly identifying the enemy (Islamic fundamentalism) and ruthlessly wiping it off the face of the earth, they fail to identify the enemy and succumb to the pressure of today’s prominent intellectuals who are all proclaiming that reason is invalid, egoism is “materialistic” and “selfish,” capitalism is outdated, and only a “consensus” can determine what is morally right. Our leaders, unable to rebel such a philosophical attack, are failing to uphold the fundamental principles of this country: reason, egoism, and capitalism and are thereby failing to uphold our right to self-defense.

The leaders of our country should repel this philosophical attack, in regard to the war on terrorism, by clearly identifying our enemy and firmly upholding our right to self-defense by eradicating the governments of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and others, and the terrorist groups which are supported by these countries.

President Bush: GO into Lebanon and find those WMD’s. If they aren’t there, then at least we have eradicated more Islamic terrorist scum from the planet.
