Rick Santorum: We Can't Live With a Nuclear Iran Because They're a Theocracy

GREGORY: Senator Santorum, I want to ask you about Iran. It's been a big issue in the course of this campaign so far. I wonder why it is, if America has lived with a nuclear Soviet Union, we have come to live with a nuclear North Korea, why is it that we cannot live with a nuclear Iran? And if we can't, are you prepared to take the country to war to disarm that country?

SANTORUM: They're, they're a theocracy. They're a theocracy that has deeply embedded beliefs that the, the afterlife is better than this life. President Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said the principal virtue of the Islamic Republic of Iran is martyrdom. So when your principal virtue is to die for your--for Allah, then it's not a deterrent to have a nuclear threat if they would use a nuclear weapon. It is, in fact, an encouragement for them to use their nuclear weapon, and that's why there's a difference between the Soviet Union and China and others and Iran.

1. The Christofacsist's wet dream here is a totalitarian theocracy.

Sorry Rick - it works both ways.

3. Our military pushes religion because of the belief in the afterlife.

So the solders will be more willing to die for the cause and be rewarded in Heaven.
What is the difference? Our leaders are just as fanatical. Look at we did to Iraq and its people.
