I am all for surgical strikes on Iran, if Israel doesn't do it first.

What I'm still not decided on is if Iran should get nukes. I'm sure IRAN wouldn't directly attack anyone with them (that's assuring their own destruction)...but they might get "leaked" to terrorists...
I don't think any foreign government would be stupid enough to launch any kind of attack against the USA, conventional or nuclear. Not unless they caught us in the midst of a horrific natural or unnatural catastrophe (Yellowstone exploding, continental shift, alien invasion, etc..) As you said, their way of life would be over, their destruction in retaliation, complete...

However, if you misplace a few nukes, and a few well-heeled terrorists buy them (drug lords, regular terrorists, etc..) and with the news telling the whole world how much unchecked cargo enters our ports every day, and how easy it is to sneak in from Mexico and Canada; it's not impossible to imagine waking up one morning, turning on the TV, and hearing that San Antonio has been leveled by a nuclear explosion, or San Diego, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Mobile, Miami, Charleston, Virginia Beach, Baltimore, New York, etc...

The more countries that have them, the harder it is to know who to hit back, so we get hit week after week, or day after day, until we surrender. All they have to do is sit back and say "Not me, I've got all of mine, see...."

This isn't a machine gun folks, it's the most powerful weapon on earth that we know of, next to biological agents, which can kill the whole planet, silently (for the most part). It'd be real stupid to let everyone that wants it, have it.

If it had stayed between us and Russia, there'd never have been a problem. But, now that China, France, India (How the Hell did we let India get nukes), Pakistan (Ditto), North Korea (Punked us, and built them anyway), and maybe one or two more I've forgotten about, there's a lot that can come up missing.

Do you guys remember the report on 60 minutes, or some TV Magazine, that reported Russia had 100 "suitcase" nukes, of which 80 were accountred for, but 20 were mising. Each one having the destrucive power of the Hiroshima bomb? That's when it came out that we had those two, but we called them "demolition bombs".

Not one to live in fear myself, or to try and scare anyone; after all, I did ask your opinions, I'm not here to sway anyone in any way.

The world is a dangerous place. A lot of people don't like us, so rolling over and showing our belly is not gonna make them like us either. That's why if Bush, or President Clinton decides to pimp-slap Iran, I will not be against it.

No protests or flag burning from me.

At this point, I am just about ready for Worldwide domination. There are to many loose dogs in the world, and they need to be rounded up and euthanized. As for Iran, I agree with the other guys. Let'em **** off Isreal and let Isreal clean up the yard. Who cares what they do to them? Its a bunch of teenage minded arabic azzholes who think they are bad when realistically, we could dominate their country in less than 20 minutes. I do like the note to North Korea too. I'd send'em the pictures that were accompanied by a little note. "regards from president Bush, who's next?"

"Who are we to say differently?"

Let's examine that...How about the fact that we are their sworn mortal enemies? To them, we are the epitome of all evil in the world. I will not condone allowing a bunch of overzealous, uneducated, misguided, suicidal miscreants coming into posession of nuclear weapons.


"Leave em alone unless they pick a real fight with Israel."

That's the problem. They won't pick a real fight with Israel. It'll be terroristic activities on a nuclear scale. Instead of strapping a couple of pounds of C-4 to their back and walking into an open air market, it'll be a backpack with a 'dirty' nuke.

Go to Yahoo! news and do a little reading... No one should want these people to have weapons grade uranium. I'd say give them all of the reactor grade they need so they can make power... But don't allow them the technology to create WMD's on a nuclear scale...

Murder of 100 million to save the other 5 billion in the world??? God himself ordered the slaughter of thousands of innocent women and children to eradicate a problem. Do you really think that those few thousand could give 2 craps about our millions of people over here? Remember that whole 9/11 thing? They slaughtered 2000 non combantants. How can we care if they don't?

Glad to see you took that in good humor... Now, do you have anything to back up your statments, or are you just being you usual, trying to get under everyone's skin, UC self?

BTW, it's not my weekend yet. I've been at work since 5:30 this morning and won't be leaving until about 10:00 tonight.

YES!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately it appears the majority of Americans are to got damn stupid to understand the reality we live in.

For example a slim majority of American’s think its to early to see a movie about 911, you know flight 94.

Too early? No, the real answer is most American’s just want to stick their heads high up their @ss and “pretend” it never happen and figure if they believe hard enough it never happen then, damn it, it never happen…

If I were Bush I would sit their in the oval office thinking to myself:

”Screw the terrorist supporting liberal democrats and the majority of Americans that can’t think for themselves. I am the President and my RESPONSIBILITY is to do the right thing for AMERICA PERIOD!

Therefore, since the United States Constitution CLEARLY outlines my major responsibility is to protect the United States Constitution and ALL the citizens of this fine country, even though a slim majority are freaking morons without a clue, I WILL attack the crap out of Iran and send a message to all terrorist supporting countries. That message will be “If you wish to support terrorist and/or “think” you have a right to nuclear weapons in any form you will be completely destroyed…


President Bush needs to be a REAL leader as he has been regardless of what today’s society of irrational citizens may think. 50 years from now he will be thought of highly for his leadership and saving of America and its freedoms…

The only person who would level SA would be David Stern because this small market team is gonna win the NBA championship, again.

Now back to your regular scheduled war banter.

Right...I willfully and wantonly kill at random, and try to do as much damage as possible to people I've never met and have never done anything to me or my family... Yep, you nailed it...that's me in a nutshell...

No, the closest analogy I cna think of would be a rabie epidemic. If, let's say a certain breed of dog, pitbulls, were the only ones to get rabies and attack and kill people at random and for no reason, in order to save people, you'd have to put the entire species down. There is no choice...
Now, I am not comparing any Middle Easterner to canines, that was just an example. It's not my fault that the azzholes over there won't man up and just meet us on a battlefield, us against them. Instead they resort to a cowards tactics. I'm no fan of killing innocents or non-combatents, but if it's us and our lifestyle and liberties that are being threatened, or them, I know which side I'll stand on. Do You?
