So, you also believe Iran is lying when they say they don't want the bomb and it's only about energy.


Yet in the cold war america battled with russia over the PERCIVED THREAT, it created at russias nuclear capability.
America didn't create A "nuclear Russia" Stalin did that so he could in prison eastern Europe for 50 years (kill millions of people) and as a deterrent to stop freedom.

It mentions no where in the article AMERICA's own nuclear weapons programs and the reasons it has them .
The part that keeps getting by all who try and rationalize it. America (and all existing nuclear powers) have not threatened to "wipe" anybody off the face of the earth, nor have they called any country or race of people "an insult to humanity"


We all know the main reason that a country has a nuclear weapon is front, started by America and their dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
1 We bombed Japan only AFTER they refused to surrender, knowing that the war was lost. The bombing saved 100 of thousands of American lives.

2 The guy who starts the fight doesn't get to cry "foul" if he gets beat up.

3 If Japan hadn't attacked us, the odds of us bombing them is about 4 billion to 1.

4 And most important, If Japan hadn't attacked us there would have never been a "Manhattan Project"


We all know the destructive power these weapons hold, yet countries still choose to make them, why is that. It is becuase other countries still have them and so the threat is still there.
Actually America (and Russia) are dismantling there stockpiles, almost 50% so far, and niether country is building "new" bombs to replace the existing old ones.


How can america justify invading a country because the have WMD when they have them themselves.
Who says we're invading Iran ?

The only way we will truly get rid of all WMD would be for ALL countries to get rid of them.
And stop more countries from getting them


Is that going the happen, no.

so we will continue to be subject to this, till one of them drops one and we all pay.
When one of them nukes London, Paris, or NY in the name of their God, all of this nonsense about trying to justify/rationalize letting them have the bomb will stop, sad but that's what it's going to take for some people.
