Thoughts on the issue of a nuclear Iran.

There really is no debate it is fact that Iran is evil and they want to kill America. Terrorists are 100% wrong they have no right for what they do everything they fight for is wrong everything they believe is wrong.

Indeed.

Giving Iran, Iraq, Japan, China or even Canada nuc's is like this:

Hi little boy, this is a highly deadly big pretty red button that says in big bold letters "Push Me For Free Candy For Life!". I want you to hold onto it for a while. But don't push it, ok?

*Edit*... We could probably give that button to the Canadian Prime Minister and he wouldn't care.

I like Tural's comparison better.

But y'all do have points...ah well, world war 3's been in the making for a while...it's pretty much just one little mess up/attack from happening.

At least we can almost guarentee WW4 will never happen. And Tural's comparison was the best. You can't give a country Nuclear capabilities and know they won't attempt to make weapons. Luckily we have defences against outer missile attacks, how effective they would be I don't know.

Well I don't mean against his own country...I should have worded it "against another country".

IE, I haven't heard of a US citizen suicide bombing a Iraqi embassy.

Isn't joining the army in the first place suicidal enough?

With all your friendly fire shenaningans, yes... yes it is.

Thanks for all of your input.

My views are alike as many others' in this respect. I think that Iran should fully be allowed to have nuclear energy. I would even go as far as to saying that we as the United States should lend some expertise in research, to allow them to have a stable energy source. That would lead them to see that the US isn't the Great Satan, as their protesters commonly state.

However, nuclear weapons should be emphasized against. On the same sentence, the US, Russia, France, the UK, and any other nuclear country should take two steps:
a) Drastically limit their nuclear weapon stockpiles at a faster rate than is currently employed
b) Initiate a better ICBM defense system, as per SDI or "Star Wars." This is key, in showing that countries like NK or Iran have no incentive to build nuclear weapons and attack the symbols of capitalism, as we will have a defense powerful enough to deter anything.

I like this forum.

Good idea? Yes. Will it happen? No. I say we nuke them until they glow and shoot them in the dark.

That would certainly be the best course of action.

Or not...

Bush has done absolutely nothing in his presidency to help the United States. Or the world. Or anybody else. Sending soldiers to the Middle East has not helped the issue of Iran's nuclear energy. It's making them more angry. A third grader could see that. Then again, maybe that's too advanced for our president.

My opinion. Don't flame it.

That's about enough of that.

Ravnz, there's no good way to stop a terrorist. I'm no Bush fan, but there's a lot to think about when juggling a country with a war. More credit should be given.

Or... buy your own remote island.

Haha, that happened once and was a silly retaliation against the Lebanese after they decide to be anti-Australian in one of the most pro-Australian areas.

Other than that, we are quite a quiet nation. (And we rule...)

I agree, Shout, but I really think we shouldn't be in this war in the first place. =/

True, I suppose we could've let the other countries tear themselves apart while we build defenses and remove freedoms to make it even harder to travel. I'm not being sarcastic either, I kind of think we should've. But it's not really the American way. Any Republican, and maybe a Democrat would've done the same thing. Actually, I would've probably built on defenses, but we'd still be screwed, because the terrorist attack our econemy as well. We would've eventually gone to war. We should've just killed them all in Desert Storm...

Whenever you want to insult Bush and his cabability just think about how deep in shit we would be if Kerry had won, works for me.

SHOUTrvb · Post by **SHOUTrvb** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:14 pm

I think about that often. o_o

RaVNzCRoFT · Post by **RaVNzCRoFT** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:15 pm

And this is where it just traces back to Bush vs. Kerry. I'm not so sure Kerry would have been a great president, but I really think that he would have been better than Bush. Because...well, Bush is an idiot.
