Quote by: Dieval  The US has shown remarkable restraint in the use of nuclear weapons. Can you be certain Iran would show the same restraint, given their hatred for a certain country in the middle east?
Iran supports various terrorist organizations, one of which held the dubious distinction of killing the most Americans, prior to 9/11, than any other. Sounds like people I don't want having ANY nuclear weaponry. Do you?
Engaging in a war to prevent the proliferation of WMD's is far different then killing US citizens in acts of terrorism. |
Remarkable restraint? Last I checked, the united states is the ONLY country to have ever dropped a nuclear bomb on another country. Infact, they dropped two. And it's not just about nukes, it's about the general "wariness" of a country. America has a disgusting record. They have invaded countries all over the map for the past 50 years, they have slaughtered millions of civilians. AMERICA IS DANGEROUS. I am more scared of america having nukes then Iran. Iran doesn't pose a threat to the world because they aren't an imperalist empire that invades countries simply because they want to convert it to their way of life.
Iran is not going to nuke israel, because that would certainly spell the end of their entire country. If they even want a nuke at all, it's to defend themselves against the much more aggressive, much more dangerous nation of israel.
And no, "engaging in a war" is not different then "terrorism" it's the same thing, people murdering other people. No matter, what colorful spin terms to want to use. So what if al quada killed 3000 "US CITIZENS". America has killed millions of citizens of other countries over the years, including half a million in iraq.
It's obvious you see other citizens as worthless and only american lives are of any value.
