Can we ignore the rules and force the rest of the world to obey ours because we have nuclears?

When you say 'we', what do YOU mean, exactly? Please take your communism and your rhetoric and go back where you came from. THANK you!\n\nwww.reportillegals.com

US and all other countries having nukes should destroy them and destroy all their nuclear facilities and prove to the world that they do not have any nukes anymore and no capability to build anymore. This would provide a moral and ethical ground to demand from anyone, not just Iran, stoppage of nuclear weapons development.

I wholeheartedly agree with you mate, I live in England and am of English parents. It seems the United States have set themselves up as the nanny of the world despite the fact they are responsible for some of the worst atrocities outside of of the 3rd Reich. Anyone that doesnt agree with their world view is seen as an enemy of america and therefore a terrorist, saying this your President seems very hardline and I can understand the objections to you having nuclear capabilities at this time.

I agree that the free world should strike first. Not with a nuclear bomb. We have enough fire  power to reduce Iran to ashes  with in days with out that. But yes we should remove Their nuclear  technology as well as Pakistan's and Indonesia. If Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, or and Muslim country had a nuclear capability of doing us so much harm we  would not recover they would do so today.\nThe free world should give them notice that extremist governments will not be permitted, The freedom of religion must be guaranteed world wide, that no government on earth can be a religious government, and take steps to make it happen. It's now or later and the later will be much worse.\nReligion must be removed from politics, school, and our lives except for in the home and church.\nThere are millions of George Bush type Christains who would vote for a religious Government in the United States to day and chance sending everyone in America to their little hells just to honor "A   G----     D---- Myth".\n\nHow can we eradicate religious wars in other countries when we have so many people here who would have us enslaved under their mythical god.

No.  In the same way that a citizen of a country should obey the laws of that country, a country of our world should obey the laws of our world.\n\nThe laws and conventions have been set out by the most powerful countries over the last century or so (since the League of Nations) and, luckily for us these countries have tended to be liberal democracies.  Liberal democracies usually protect each other and never go to war with each other anymore.  Canada, France, USA, Australia, Germany, UK etc will never fight against each other as long as they retain a freely elected government and liberal, open-minded society.\n\nThere are many corrupt and evil governments and rulers in the world, but the ones who have the most impact outside their own countries are almost always in Muslim countries.  Islam is a peaceful religion but demands of its traditionalist followers that they treat the word of God as law.  Traditionalist Sharia law is inflexible and makes little account for the change in technology, culture and society which has happened in the last 1300 or so years.  When a theocracy comes to power in the Middle East which declares Sharia law, the only flexibility they have is by massaging interpretation of the law to accommodate modern circumstances.  But no amount of interpretation can hide the underlying problems associated with human rights.  Islamic theocracies, hamstrung by their self-imposed constraints on governing, are often doomed to either collapse or resort to sacrificing the liberties of its citizens to preserve their rule and becoming increasingly more "fundamental".\n\nIran is an example of one of these "bad-guy" countries.  There is almost no attempt to conceal that Iran funds terrorists, most notably Hezbollah in Lebanon (against Israel).  They have publicly called for Israel to be wiped off the map.  The bad news is that the bad guys have audacity, resolve and versatility.  They do not pay heed to international rules such as the Geneva convention, and can send a suicide bomber into Tel Aviv or onto a train to Madrid without losing a minute of sleep.  The good guys are slowed by conscience.  We must do what is right or at least the lesser of two evils.  A leader consults his cabinet, congress, etc and must answer to his people and the international community.  However, while we are less versatile, we have the great advantage of technology.  It is for this reason that we cannot allow states which refuse to behave responsibly to start to match our level of military technology and be able to construct nuclear weapons.\n\nIran is unlikely to use its nuclear weapons when it develops them but then it is not out of the question.  The threat of Israel's nuclear deterrent may not work on leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  Some fundamental Muslims have the ridiculous notion that a harem of virgins awaits them in heaven if they blow themselves up and scores of innocent "Zionist" civilians with them.  This idea could well be extended to a nation scale.  Most Iranians are good, peaceful Shi'a Muslims who do not want to die, but unfortunately they don't have the keys to the missile silo ...\n\nThe world may seem like it is in trouble, but as communication improves via media such as the internet, increasingly oppressed citizens will see images and hear stories of their so-called enemies in the Western world and learn that we are not all devils (although certain administrations are far from perfect).  This will in turn make them less likely to vote for parties such as Hamas or take to the hills to join Al-Qaeda and may even cause them to rise up against the powers that be in Iran.  In the meantime we must not confuse ordinary Muslims with fundamental Muslims.\n\nThe great irony is that to a Muslim, the idea of a suicide bomber is so much more abhorrent than the idea of a McDonalds on the high street in Riyadh, yet some fanatics justify purging the latter by embracing the former (broadly spe

Yes,, actually we have a formula to build a Bomb that is a 500 megaton cobalt salted Nuclear weapon that if detonated could crack the core of this planet like a China plate in a shooting gallery, rip away half this plantes atmosphere, and knock this planet out of orbit around the sun,,pretty bad stuff huh?

Yes, if they can manage a nuclear power plant safely. Even if we (the 'free' world) do not trust them, we are not the world's police and until the actually are a threat that we must defend against, then let em do what they want.

Might makes right. And the US is the wealthiest and most militarily powerful nation at the moment, so the US gets to make the rules for everyone else.\n\nEspecially nations that have natural resources our largest industries/corporations want to control.

THE U.S. has more nukes than we know what to do with.  Any idiotic country that would openly attack us  deserves to die in a nuculear holacost for their stupidity.

Do you really think the US beaurocrats and politicians would allow that to happen?  We aren't a super power because we sit back and twiddle our thumbs while others beat us out on something.  We'd find some reason to sanction them long before they surpassed us.

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.

bottom line is: we can't change the fact that some countries have nuclear weapons, but if possible we need to prevent more from becoming armed with them,\nLike it or not, the more countries that have nuclear weapons the more likely that some country will use them against their "enemy's"\nIf this should occurs, it may lead others to use their weapons in fear of a nuclear attract,\nResulting in a world wide exchange of nuclear weapons fire!

Why should the US be the only ones to have nukes in the first place?  Our president wants to claim everyine else is out to use them, when the fact of the matter is that our country is the only one in the world to have actually used them in a war situation.  In my eyes, I see our world as one.  And if one country on the map is allowed to have nukes to defend themselves, then so should everyone else.  We are just another country.  Just another land mass on the map.  Yes, we have more than others, but we also are more arrogant.  I can vouch for that, since I can be pretty stuck up at times.

Is it the cold war again? Huh. Now I'm not a fan of N. Korea's abuses or posessions of nuclear weapons, but what is to stop them from asking the same question about the US especially as it has enough nuclear weapons to cover the surface of the earth several times, and we are the only nation to ever use them?

It's ridiculous that one country would assume it has the right to tell another country not to produce or have the same weapons it has. I don't understand why any of the people concerned are so stupid: I mean, if anyone ever did decide to deploy nuclear weapons, we'd ALL die...

We have the ability to kill all humans with nuclear war. We could also do it slower with global warming. \n\nGo see An Inconvenient Truth.  It was very interesting.

You could build a fission device, minus the plutonium.  That'll get their attention.
