Where in sweet hell did I do that? (the US/Iran comparison)
Oh, the large font was in reaction to your characterisation of terrorist funding as "help". Wasn't supposed to be funny

To avoid further miscommunications regarding serious conversation and injected humor, I import to you:

When I said "America isn't exactly known for supporting terrorism (in reference to the discussion about why Iran can't have nukes, but the U.S. can)", and you provided some example sof how you think America does support terrorism.

If I misread your responses, my apologies.

*EDIT* The "help" line was to set up my next line about my ex-fiance. I tried to HELP her and I ended up getting hosed later. lol

No my good sir! The coffee and resulting ulcer will keep you awake long enough to REALLY think/write up a Skybird length response!

If you feel yourself dozing off, have a soda to go with your ulcer!!

(Yes I know there's a special place in hell for me........and it' being second in command).

The same can be said of Israel.

In fact, if the point of nukes is to deter other people from hitting you, Iran (and admittedly, Israel) arguably has a greater need at present than say the United Kingdom or France. I doubt anyone is due to invade them and they've got a darn big ally with the most capable nuke and conventional forces, while a darn big country (US) is thinking about invading Iran.

Why No Nukes for Iran? The rules of the game.

Pathetic this has to be spelled out.

Sounds like a self-serving diatribe conveniently by someone who lives in a nation that already has all the advantages. Lucky him. The six reasons he postulate really boil down to "I want to continue to be able to push around nations that don't agree with us, and we can't do that if they have nukes."

I do not claim to know what the Iranians are getting at, but it looks as if they want something very badly.

i say nuke em:rotfl:

I think Iran is either being very very stupid, or very very smart.

Alot of what they have been doing has been internatinal provocation, poking a stick at the big boys if you will, but staying just shy of war. Given the convenient rise in oil price out of each provocation, and the massive financial gains Iran has made as a result, you don't have to be a genius to figure out what they're doing. They'll probably keep making money in this way for as long as they can get away with it.

Sounds like someone who waves away numerous rational points that explain why every Tom, Dick and Harry shouldn't be able to have nukes.

But it's just the world. Go ahead and ruin it. See if anyone cares. Obviously not.

Really? Who back in the 60s, 70s and 80s threatened to eliminate even a single Arab nation and its population?

Nice try at immoral equivalence.

Having a greater need at present doesn't mean one shouldn't consider the future.

As for Iran, well what are we to think of a rogue nation that calls for other's destruction?

Yeh, too bad Hitler didn't have the bomb. It would only have been fair.
