So by "ignore" you must mean frequently just jumping into any old thread and regardless of what the topic is or what has been posted in that thread simply going into a rant of personal attacks

Poor August, his own actions show him for what he is

Ah so its just the "you don't know nuffin bout nuffin so STFU" highly intelligent posts a couple of people recently made when their logic function went into meltdown over very simple things.
Yes I can see why you are still a little sore over that, the two "military experts" using that lame excuse of an arguement did end up looking very very silly which must add to the already weighty chip on the shoulder

Fixing Iran? Hardly. The threat from proliferation and nuclear arms race in the ME is a threat to the whole globe. Everyboy is threatened by that. The threat does not end at nations' borders.

This is what some people simply do not want to see.

Oh, the irony.

So we're agreed then, Israel and USA should not be allowed nuclear weapons as it means their detractors will all want them too.

I stated my views on this once before. If governments want to take the righteous position regarding other governments nuclear capabilities, this needs to start at home. Otherwise, The arms race will continue, no matter what action is taken short of invasion and permanent occupation of the entire nation.

regards, Sam.

That's cheap objectivism that avoids the issue of political and ideological motivations.

That's true. After all, it is not like the United States would ever actually use Nuclear Weapons.........oh.

OH...what this has to do with anything.
Nukes are about immunity in the first place.
For Iran it is insurance policy to push its regional agenda-that is good case scenario if things don't get too much out of hand.

World had been a few times at verge of nuclear holocaust during cold war now... we don't need fundamentalists to dictate the terms.

At least it is objective.

Look, I don't particularly trust my own UK government with their nukes, I am similarly unsure about the USA government. On the other hand, the Israeli government seems IMO to be every bit as dangerous as the Iranian government, and just as ideologically motivated. Neither can I forget that USA is the only government with a demonstrated will to actually use such weapons.

The double standards that are being sold under the white sheet of 'world security' betray the malevolent intentions of the governments that propose it. My point is, if they are so serious that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, they cannot argue that they should not have theirs for all the same reasons. But y'know I have said all this before, and the arguments against it basically revolve around me being naive, well whatever. The irony with that is I am clearly being more cynical than anyone who believes their own government is correct in this matter. Of course the ironies here just keep coming don't they?

Regards, Sam.

P.S. By the way, I had never heard of objectivism as in philosophy before, thank you for giving me the impetus to read upon it. I myself am a little further to the left, but the basis in reality is quite err... realistic?
Cheers!

I yet have to see jobless folks and crippled economy fueled by political corruption being threated by nuclear arms race in the ME.

..or is this way not to address the real issues and keep everyone busy in something else.

No, that is you trying to avoid the inherent conflict in your own political and ideological motivations.
