Talking about Israel in case you didn't guess... They have not and will not sign the NPT and allow UN weapons inspectors in to monitor their nuclear stockpile. Don't forget that this was the reason that the US attacked Iraq! And they didn't even have any! So what's the deal here or is it just hipocrisy?

Haven't you heard the rhetoric? It is because Israel is the only democracy in the middle-east!!!And Britain cant say much either because the British government sold Israel all the necessary means to start their nuclear program. Double standards as always.

The UN has always been a joke.  Recent US actions didnt change that they just pointed out what we all already knew.  I am visiting Bosnia and all the places that were designated UN safe zones where everybody got murdered because they were foolish enough to trust the UN.  Until the UN actually shows it is competant enough to do something (anything) the US and other countries like Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia will just keep doing whatever they want whether you agree with these actions is another question.

to RLP and Mini me...Iraq didn't come over here and blow us up (nor will they ever)....As far as the question...I fail to have a glimmer of an idea as to why re pub's hold on to their blind faith in george bush (lower case letter's emphasized). he is a mad man and his staff are either smart crooks or inept peter principle recipients

you don't understand the situation. US believes Iran will use it's nuclear technology to build nuclear weapons. Iran is using it for energy and Iran is allowing UN to inspect it's nuclear facilities. Only why there is a controversy is because US believes Iran will attack Israel with nuclear weapons and US is putting on the pressure to make sure Iran does not have any nuclear weapons.

Their hatred of Israel is greater then that of the United States.  I suppose they'd also state this because every one knows they already have missile systems that can reach Israel, but they don't have them that can reach the United States yet.  So its a double win for them; they attack our ally and the one they hate the most.

The former president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, financed terrorist groups like Al-Qaida led by Osama bin-Laden. They were the ones responsible for 9/11 (destruction of NYC's World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon). \n\nI am Canadian. If our federal government was dictatorial, financing terrorism and torturing our people like Hussein's was, I would want another nation to come help dismantle our government. \n\nThe Iraq war was not BS and it wasn't over oil. Look at how high the price of gas is now at your neighbourhood gas station!\n\nThe US is not accusing Iran of having nuclear missiles right now. They are accusing Iran of planning to build them. This is a problem for the world because the president of Ian has publicly stated Israel 'should be wiped off the map'. Iran has recently developed nuclear energy for electrical energy. They have said they are going to develop nuclear weapons.\n\nThe main difference between the US and Iran is that the US has not threatened another country, but Iran has threatened Israel. The US is Israel's biggest ally and cannot stand and do nothing while Israel is threatened.\n\nBy the way, one nuclear missile will destroy an entire city (I mean destroy it completely, nothing left, no trees, no grass, no buildings, no people, nothing!) and wipe out everything around for about 100 miles out. So if you think it's weird that people get upset about having missiles aimed their way, think again!

and they have about 10 TIMES the ties to Osama that Iraq ever dreamed of having... \n\nEven if it was for WMD... N. Korea and Iran are and have been 100s of times closer to nuclear weapons than Iraq ever was... and I'm much more afraid of nuclear weapons than a little mustard gas...\n\nRichard M: oh... there's no tribes if Afghanistan that run every part of the country... hahaha... why do Republicans use issues for excuses that they clearly don't care about in reality? In reality... Afghanistan and Sudan are VERY similar in terms of tribes and infrastructure... both have little...\n\nWhy do conservatives use these sad excuses? "they don't want us there".. oh and the Iraqis do... I'm sure those 800,000 people that died would have been more than happy for us to help out... those that are left are pretty much the killers now... I'm sure they don't want us there...\n\nthey have all these excuses that have nothing to do with the point.. since when do they care what anyone else outside of their party thinks? Only when it benifits them...

Yes, Seneca said that.  Interesting that you would quote him. Do you know what his point was in saying "Be careful that your enemies dont get your weapons"?  Sounds a lot like that quote is very much in support of limiting nuclear proliferation Would it be best if nobody had nukes?  In the 50 years before nuclear weapons were invented, over 100 million people were killed in wars.  And in the 60+ years since, is that true?  If the US destroyed all of it's nuclear weapons, do you seriously believe this would end the problem?  That countries like North Korea and Iran would generously quite trying to build them?  The US, along with the EU, is trying to stop other countries from building nuclear weapons.  Are you trying to say that because the US, France, and the UK, among others, have nuclear weapons, that they should not try to stop proliferation?  Are you saying that the US and those other countries should get rid of their nuclear weapons, and thus would miraculously cause everyone else to stop building them?  Think about it-the US is hated by many powerful countries.  If the US got rid of their nuclear weapons, would that tend to make those countries more eager, or less, to build a weapon that, once the US had none, could aid these other countries in actually defeating the US on a battlefield?  Think through your argument- The US having nuclear weapons may be a problem, but it is unrelated to nuclear proliferation.  And, the US is not leading the battle to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the EU is.

I would answer you by a similar answer; can anyone beside me see why USA and Israel give themselves the whole right to posses nuclear weapons and prevent others from have them? And just a small reminder; USA is the unique nation over the whole history which has used the nuclear weapons and it has committed the biggest and most aggressive genocide  against hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki of Japan at the end of World War II (in spite of the fact that Japan had announced its surrendering before USA committed its crime which give no justified moral excuses). It was only the desire of showing off, arrogance and terrorizing other nations.

I saw somewhere on TV that Israeli military spokesman said that if the UN resolution is broke by Hezbollah,they are ready to attack Hezbollah again...Now I am not really sure how trustworthy this source is,but this is the latest news I've heard...\nMy opinion:Israel already broke this cease fire in the first 24 hours and since then they kept flying over Lebanon...but it seems they can't get over the fact Hezbollah defeated them...I really don't think it would be the best idea to attack again Lebanon with all the UN troops there...\n\nhere is something really interesting:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6133920.stm\nIsrael is ignoring again the UN resolution...

This last guy just typed out a lot of bullshit. I am pissed at myself for even reading all of that crap. And espike is wrong about the no-first use. The US not only maintains that it may use it first but it also maintains that it may use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state.\n\n1. The United States is one of the five "nuclear weapons states" permitted to maintain a nuclear arsenal under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which it was an original signatory on July 1, 1968 (ratified March 5, 1970). Although the The 5 NWS parties have made undertakings not to use their nuclear weapons against a non-NWS party, the United States, for instance, has indicated that it may use nuclear weapons in response to a non-conventional attack by "rogue states". \n\n\n2. The U.S. cancelled its offensive biological weapons program by executive order in November 1969 and February 1970 and ordered the destruction of all offensive biological weapons by February 1973. The U.S. ratified the Geneva Protocol on January 22, 1975. In March 1975, the U.S. ratified the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). \n\n\n3. In May 1991 President George H.W. Bush unilaterally committed the United States to destroying all chemical weapons and to renounce the right to chemical weapon retaliation. \nThe U.S. Congress has since passed legislation requiring the destruction of the entire stockpile by December 31, 2004. Official U.S. policy is to support the Chemical Weapons Convention as a means to achieve a global ban on this class of weapons and to halt their proliferation. \n\nOh and the arabs, they had palaces and cities and knew how to read, write, trade, build ships etc. while Europe and America were barbarians and were still living in caves. The arabs gave the west the modern number system and they also carried the concept of zero from India to the west. What Europe and America boasts of today started with what they got from the arabs. But with their religious fanaticism their progress stalled and they fell behind. America is powerful and advanced today but it too is witnessing a religious fundamentalist movement. And if it continues on this path then the only thing separating America from its dark days is time.\nCivilizations rise and fall.

Doesn't seem like he's thinking clearly huh? Sometimes he doesn't make sense at all. I'm still trying to find out why they're saying they have a democratic right under the NPT but they still refuse to acknowledge that they forfeited that right when they concealed it for 18 plus years! Really funny world and the leaders they have today.... I.E...Venezuala..Bolivia..Cuba...Possibly Peru now.... I hope the United States pulls it's head out of the clouds and realizes that the billions of dollars given to hostile countries could be used to further educate our own people at home! I think its time the United States shrinks its involvement. I would rather invest in helping African children. people who really don't have anything...then to give it to Venezuela and Bolivia...countries which have much more money but are ungrateful! I don't see this as a form of punishment but our tax payers money need to start helping people in dire need.

Everything smells like anti semitism to most Israelis  and I am sick of it   When will you jerks realize that you are in a religious state - and when someone speaks out against Israel, he is not necessarily anti-semetic - it just means they disagree with the policy of your government.  While we are talking about the Jewish State - when will Israel give us its illegal stockpile of nuclear arms?    I woul dlike to see the US begin to distance itself more and more away from Israel and would also like to see us curtail the defense "gifts" in foreign aid we send you --- and if you think that makes me an anti Semetic - Then Damn it, I am, and I am proud to be one....

it is not a new discovery. UN have been a puppet in USA hands for long time now. UN is useless when the subject concerns USA.

whoblitzell...since the stuff they found isn't dangerous, lets bury it in your backyard, okay? \n\nSaddam was a saint-of course he had no WMDs. That's why he wouldn't give the UN inspectors complete access, right? The guy buried entire combat jets-intact-in the desert. Is it perhaps possible that he has buried other, smaller things as well?

I so agree, nothings getting done over there except hundreds of people keep getting killed, there's no reason for us to be over there, your so right, we went there looking for nuclear weapons and they still haven't found any so enough already..haven't we lost enough of our soldiers?...we do need to back off and just declare peace before things get out of hand, till then let's just pray...God bless

GOOOOOOD JOOOOOOB MAN,\ni'm very happy with ur logic,and most of the ppl who answered till now couldnt defeat ur logic,they r all just repeating words they heared in their zionist controlled media like pirots,they even cant convince themself,so they sounded funny.\nWhy do americans think they r better than others ,and they have the right to tell others do this & dont do that,\nEven if Iran want to have nuclear weapons,so what?\namerica and israel & others have tons of them,america used it before cause japan attaked PH with REGULAR WEAPONS so u went and droped 2 NUCLEAR bombs over them kiling and effecting millions of ppl till today (why the second bomb???isnt one enough),and used depleded uranium in the war with Iraq,and threatened too many countries including Iran,\n\nIf the Iranian president talked about whiping israel,also america already whiped Iraq&Afghanistan and occupied them .\n\namerican gov is a TERRORIST gov,and the us president is a radical person and he said before that this is a crusaid war,so he is a terrorist and not stable also.\n\namerica is detaining innocent ppl (&kids)in illegal jails with no trial,which is the same brutal acts of the third world countries which america is using as an excuse to attack & invade them \n\nThe core of the american military power is the nuclear arsenal,and without it ,america cant win a war even if they didnt use it,the threat of having it&the ability to use it while the other part dont ,is enough for america to win,and thats why america dont want anybody to have these weapons.\nSo please guys,i know there is a lot of nic americans,and maybe the majority r,,but they dont care about whats happening in the world they just listen to what the gov want them to beleive & beleive without thinking,and also the phobia of 911,made them beleive that any body who dont agree with there cruel foreign policy is a TERRORIST,and thats not true:)
