First to Drop the Bomb

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Yahoo! News - Sep 18, 2006 - Reuters: Israel says 'a few months' to avoid nuclear Iran Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said on Sunday that the world may have as little as "a few months" to avoid a nuclear Iran and called for sanctions.
"The crucial moment is not the day of the bomb. The crucial moment is the day in which Iran will master the enrichment, the knowledge of enrichment," she said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Livni, whose country is the only Middle East power possessing nuclear weapons, said she did not want to identify a point of "no return" in the controversy over Iran's nuclear program.

The Iranians, she said, "are trying to send a message that it's too late, you can stop your attempts because it's too late. It's not too late. They have a few more months," she said.

"The world cannot afford a nuclear Iran," Livni said. "I believe that this is time for sanctions."

Iran, whose president last year called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," denies it is seeking nuclear weapons.

Prabhupada: That [speaking of nuclear war] will take place. Otherwise, how they will be killed?

Ambarish: They're calling it a limited nuclear war.

Prabhupada: They are accumulated so much sinful load that must be killed. That is sure. [break] ...the massacre. That will take place.

Harikesh: The sinless people will survive?

Prabhupada: Yes.

Devotee (3): Who is that?

Prabhupada: We. [break] There was an artificial famine in India and I particularly inquired from all devotees whether they have got any problem in this famine. They said, "No, we haven't got." I have taken the statistics. In 1942 the artificial famine created by government... So there were big earthquake in Bihar. At that time one of my godbrother, he was government auditor. So I inquired. In that earthquake only his house was saved. I have seen it many times. Kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranashyati [Bhagavad-gita 9.31]. That is the only....

samashrita ye pada-pallava-plavam
mahat-padam punya-yasho murareh
bhavambudhir vatsa-padam param padam
padam padam yad vipadam na tesham [Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.14.58]

Padam padam yad vipadam na tesham. It is not meant for them, all these dangerous condition. Now the nuclear war means it will not continue very long. The first party who will drop the bomb on the other party, he will be victorious, and immediately the war will stop. They are simply arranging how to drop the atom bomb first. So one who will be able to drop the bomb first, he will be victorious. It doesn't require long time. Just like in Japan, as soon as the Americans dropped the atom bomb in Hiroshima, immediately they surrendered. This will be the result. Now the question is who will be able to drop the bomb first.
