Aristocracy is alive and well. It is intriguing to contemplate at what dollar figure it is that insane ignorant people with terrible personality disorders magically become important thinkers whose opinions are of general interest... and why that is.
American-Jewish billionaire blasts Obama over negotiations with Tehran; says US should show Iran nuclear capabilities.
NEW YORK During a panel at Yeshiva University on Tuesday evening, Sheldon Adelson, noted businessman and owner of the newspaper Israel Hayom, suggested that the US should use nuclear weapons on Iran to impose its demands from a position of strength.
Asked by moderator Rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether the US should negotiate with Iran if it were to cease its uranium enrichment program, Adelson retorted, What are we going to negotiate about? ... Adelson then imagined what might happen if an American official were to call up an Iranian official, say watch this, and subsequently drop a nuclear bomb in the middle of the Iranian desert.
"Then you say, See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development. You want to be peaceful? Just reverse it all, and we will guarantee you that you can have a nuclear power plant for electricity purposes, energy purposes," Adelson said...
...Adelson, who donated tens of millions of dollars to defeated Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney during the most recent campaign, criticized the Obama administration's willingness to engage the Iranians diplomatically.
"[It's] the worst negotiating tactic I could ever imagine, my entire life," he said.

who wanted the U.S. to nuke a second Asian nation only ten years after Hiroshima. Some one needs to shove a lit rocket up Adelson's rotten arse and hopefully remind all that the U.S. does not do the bidding of any other nation.
