You've intertwined alot of sentiments hereI dont think it matters whether they are arab, or persian, muslim or christian. For whatever reason, these people do not think or have the same value system as us, and ther are elements of that society that think beheading people is morally okay, or sending twelve year olds into a crowded market is a way to get to heaven. For me its a small step from that kind of crime to lobbing nuclear bombs in the general direction of Israel.
What we need to do is demonstrate a zero tolerance for these people. They send in their suicide bombers, we send in our b-52s....they sponsor a terrorist organization, we confiscate their overseas assets and send the proceeds to the victims of their sponsored organzation , that kind of thing
Churchill showed the way as to how the Nazis needed to be dealt with 70 years ago. We have forgotten the lessons that we learnt all that time ago. We need to re-learn what we have forgotten.
The US carries EuropeIf Iran drops a bomb on Israel, EUROPE will respond immediately and bomb Iran back to the stone ages, and I am in no doubt that the US will get involved as well. Europe stood by the US in Iraq Afghanistan, the US will do the same in the event Europe gets into a crisis.
I think Russia would respond more then Europe would, which is actually not a bad thing.
But hasn't Russia backed Iran for the last few years with trade and technology.I feel that Russia would align itself against the West for they have been playing already with the oil and natural gas moving into Europe.It's a touchy situation to say the least but one has to be concerned that the egg will be dropped one day.
I don't think that the situation warrants running around yelling, 'The sky is falling! the sky is falling!", just yet... It's not 1939, Iran is not Nazi Germany, and Ahmadinejad is not Hitler, hyperbole to the contrary...
Or possibly even insaneWhat I'm gonna say could sound harsh to some
but I think we should let Iran detonate an A-bomb on a foreign country first, then go in and bomb the living sh*t out of them
Or possibly even insane
any Western power using the lives of foreign populations as checks and balances on the intentions of a despotic half-wit are no better than he is.
If (or when) they start chucking bombs back in retaliation, you can write off Israel and large portions of Europe as uninhabitable for the next few hundred years, not to mention a death toll running into millions. Unless of course you're counting on the US Missile Defence Shield to intercept every single one of them; impressive system but not a gamble I'd take with x million lives...
Your argument doesn't work on any level of rational thinking, if a lunatic stands up and starts running through the crowd at a ballgame waving a gun, do the Police think they should let him kill a fan first to ascertain whether the situation is critical or not, then go in and shoot the living sh*t out of him?
We need to make sure this angry little man never gets his hands on a nuclear weapon.
Iran warns West it will make its own nuclear fuelIran dismissed an end-of-2009 deadline imposed by the Obama administration and its international partners to accept a U.N.-drafted deal to swap most of its enriched uranium for nuclear fuel. The deal would reduce Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium, limiting—at least for the moment—its capability to make nuclear weapons.
The U.S. and its allies have demanded Iran accept the terms of the U.N.-brokered plan without changes.
Instead, Tehran came up with a counterproposal: to have the West either sell nuclear fuel to Iran, or swap its nuclear fuel for Iran's enriched uranium in smaller batches instead of at once as the U.N. plan requires.
This is unacceptable to the West because it would leave Tehran with enough enriched material to make nuclear arms.
and it just keeps getting better.....
