They obviously do not respect human life and in the near future will have nukes and have said they will use them in a heartbeat. We will not respond because of the blackeye we already have, but won't that mean we will allow them to kill millions of people?\nIran with nukes =  terrorists with nukes.....will we bow to the liberals and allow it as to not "start another war"?\n\nCurious to your answers....thanks.

Some say we have no respect for life.  And we have nukes.  Everyone gets all worried when a new country gets nukes.  Sadly, the power a country obtains by having a nuke (USA!) makes it a desirable goal for countries.  We were just as afraid of pakistan and india having nukes, but now that they have nukes we 'work' with them.  We won't negotiate or lift sanctions with/on North Korea, but if they get nukes, we'd meet them as equals instead.  So you see, the United States created this 'everyone wants nukes' problem.  I'm sure the rest of the world isn't so sure we're completely trustworthy and capable of having them, just as we're afraid of other countries having them.  You'd think the solution would be to eliminate nukes.  Sadly, that's impossible because then some other country would get them and they'd be the super power like the USA.  And then we'd be on the short end of the stick internationally.  Basically, we'd be screwed.  It's a no-win situation.

Thank you so much!!!! I don't get it either, they still seem to put all of their efforts on being the anti-Bush party. NEWS FLASH: He's not even going to be on the ballot. We are supposed to be a United Nation, yet they seem focused only on dividing. Bush is only human, he got faulty information, he did what he did to protect us, how can anyone not see a connection in Osama and Saddam, also just because we did not publicly announce finding wmds does not mean they weren't there. Thanks to our lovely liberal media, all plans of invasion are broadcast all ove the planet so how hard would it be to move these things. Thank you once agains for your question. I see no proof either. \n\nUNITED we stand, divided we fall.

If things continue getting better, then I don't think that Baghdad will become the next Hiroshima. Also, if we were to use nuclear weapons, we would be breaking the agreement that no country is to use nuclear power. Also if we were to use it, then I think that it would give North Korea a right to use their, and I don't think that we want North Korea using a missile that can reach the USA. To tell the truth, no one has a clue as to what George Bush will do under pressure.

No way! They're just going to cause more problems. It's like, 'You stab my back so I'll stab yours.' Where does the vicious cycle end? Do they really think that MORE war can bring peace? Retaliation is inevitable. If anything, the world situation's going to get worse.

Another provocative question from Nicholas "meathead" Rage. Liberals as you call us are not quick to defend that piece of sh't, we just want our leaders to thoroughly think out any military operation regardless of reason. The cowboy Bush mentality (shoot first ask questions later) has cost us thousands of our "kids" lives and for what? Meanwhile North Korea is testing  long range missles that could hit Alaska or Hawaii, Good job Georgie Boy, we feel much safer now.

And the justification would be - -- - -?   Hatred is hardly a valid reason for unleashing nuclear holocaust.  Once a country begins nuking nations the planet will soon become inhabitable.  Global Warming?  Try Nuclear Winter. But then again most Republicans are Evangelical Christians praying for the prophesies in The Book of Revelations to happen so that Jesus can welcome them into Heaven.  Augh.  \n\nPeace...

I am thinking that we should stop being racist and arrogant.\nI am also thinking that we are not in charge of the universe.\nI am also thinking that if we have the right to have nuclear arms so should they.\n\nAfter all, we are not better than anyone else.\nAfter all, Iran is far less dangerous than the US ehich already has its own nuclear weapons.\n\nIn the last 50 years Iran has attacked exactly zero countries. In fact, through US enccouragement it was attacked by our former clients, the Iraqis.\nThe US has attacked Iraq, Vietnam, Guatemala, Grenada, Korea, El Salvador, Cuba, Panama, Egypt, and the list goes on.\n\nMaybe we should get rid of our own nuclear weapons before we ask others to do. We dont want to be hypocrites, right?\n\nBy the way, Iranians have never claimed or said they are developing nuclear weapons. Only the US has made this claim. And I sure beleive what W and Cheney say, right? ;-)

First off, I strongly disagree with the person right above me, but respectfully so. I just don't think it's possible that a wack country could get enough weapons to "destroy" earth. And we wouldn't need to destroy the earth to respond. I just think that is an unlikely scenario. Will nukes be lit off in our time? Probably, but I don't think it will destroy the world.\n\nHowever, regarding your specific item, your prof is right that the United States is destroying itself. Here are my points:\n\n* Dysfunctional families. 50% divorce rates, parents working two jobs, single parents, teen parents (on the rise). Through our history we have relied on a solid social foundation, where families were expected to raise kids right. That doesn't happen now, and once you start sliding, it is near impossible to stop. On this point, I see the reasoning behind diehard conservatives and their hate for liberals. Well, I am a liberal (so to speak), but I am a firm believer in a solid family, with children being dealt with strictly as needed (not beat, but made to know the rights and wrongs).\n\n* Media onslaught. Gets worse and worse. MTV, television in general. I don't even like taking my kids to supposed "G-rated" movies anymore. Pop culture, or whatever you call it, is slowly destroying our traditional culture. And with kids and too much free time, video games, internet, and tv really are doing some damage.\n\n* Educational issues. In this day and age, it is impossible to "leave no child behind". Our schools should be geared to handle the upper level kids, college bound kids. Riff-raff that are there for fun and games should have a half-day school, and job corps the other half to get real life skills. Our college-bound learners are being brought down by an increasing number of riff-raff kids.\n\n* Economical issues. Because of educational issues, and greed on the profit margin, companies are outsourcing white-collar jobs to India and China, where better educated people will work for less pay.\n\nThere is more. I think your prof is right in a way. We are losing our edge.

Yes. They should continue it, despite US "Aggression"\n\nIt is not right for the US to dictate who can have nuclear technology in the world...especially when they are the only ones to have ever used nuclear weapons on people.

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

I think the the Israeli Government is scared to death that the Democrats are taking over in the US, and that will lead to less support for them. Israel is a very small island in a sea of nations that want it destroyed and will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals. The Democrats are scaring me in this same regard.\n\nLet's not forget that Israel has nukes. We don't know how many and where they have them, but they do. They also have f_15 eagles to deliver them. If Iran develops a nuke, they will either use it themselves or give it to Hezbollah to deliver in a van or something, and if they set one off in Israel, Isreal will retaliate.\n\nIsrael knows that they can't hit a ghost so they will nuke Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and who knows how many others. The major portion of the world's oil supply will evaporate. Russia and China will respons, and some of their weapons will also be aimed at the USA. We would be forced to respond with nukes of our own, and we have a load of them. On top of that, the debris from the explosions will throw so much dust in the air that it would almost certainly create a nuclear winter that will destroy most of the plant and animal life on the planet. That will be the end of us all.\n\nThat's why I can't vote for a Democrat.

i agree with you on both points.  unfortunately in the last several days this same WMD question keeps coming up but the liberals continue to refuse acknowledgement that it proves anything.  They argue that they were non-functional, that they weree planted, that it's a lie...anything but that the president told the truth or acted prudently.  They never will.  These people aren't concerned with truth, they only care about their agenda and will beat this thing to death.  Half are brainwashed nitwits the others are outright radical communist or islamist extremists bent on seeing this country defeated.\n\nJust some info for those bringing up sarin gas degrading...do some research..i mean research not wikipedia.  When exposed to air or water sarin will degrade within a matter of weeks.  In earlier shells saddam had a problem stockpiling shells because they would degrade, therefore he started using a binary projectile. These rounds are compartmentalized having sarin contained isolated from the other component which was isopropyl alcohol.  the two were mixed when the round was fired.  THESE DO NOT DEGRADE!!  GET IT?\n\nlol...you know...the closer you get to proving something that they made such a big deal out of the more these bushbashers back away and then say the issue isn't important anyway.  Why?...because as I've said..they DON"T CARE ABOUT TRUTH only their agenda.\n\nI'll tell you this much zenkitty27;  I've listened to the president speak quite often and spontaneously without notes and what he has had to say is a lot more substantive and coherent than most of your posts.  So what have YOU been smoking?

Again, there's no point in even addressing what political issues you're implying, because it's a fact that Iran can not and will not set off a nuke here.  That would be considered an act of nuclear war, and we would retaliate with an unbelievable amount of nuclear firepower, which would squash Iran like a tiny bug under a giant boot.  You don't really want to enrage 300 million patriots backed by a trillion-dollar, apocalypse-bringing nuclear arsenal do you?

Well, maybe if we all sit in a circle and sing kumbaya and be nice to them, everything will be fine.  \n\nIt must be great to think like a liberal, lol.\n\n---------------\n\nDante, what do you mean, lol, are you suggesting my answer?\n\n--------\n\nomg, some of these answers!  "history tells us Iran won't attack," even though they swear to.  History does not tell you the future.  It is important not to forget history to help prevent things in the future.  Do you remember a little country called Germany?  What was their history before WWII.  Had they ever invaded Poland before they did?  Do you really think like that?  "Well, history says the hurricane wont damage the levies, so I think I will stay."  Thanks for making me laugh.

Now that is one big question lol. I would say this to you, what do you want from iran?\nOk so Iran gets nukes so what?\nSo they give them to some bad guys so what?\nSo bad guys give them to us like say 3 of our biggest cities. May four cities. Now what do we need to do to Iran?\nHow many got to die before we make a decision?\nIt is coming and soon!!!!!!!!!!

There is a fine line between nuclear energy and nuclear WEAPONS.  Energy will benefit everyone greatly until a meltdown of course.  However researching nuclear energy and experimenting with it leads to some bad people having volitile materials which COULD BE used for a dirty bomb or full out nuclear weapon.  To answer the 2nd part of the question.. what do you THINK the US will do to stop them?  We will warn them once, ask the UN and get denied, then take matters into our own hands.  I vote move to Canada.

Right now they hate the United States and there starting to get Nuclear Weapons. i think there Terriosts about to get us and were are not doing any thing. that what i think.
