I don't like Iran getting nukes, but there is far more danger of Russia or China letting nuclear warheads or nuclear technology fall into the wrong hands. Not to mention the threat from them doing something crazy or stupid or careless.
Our maintaining a stong missile defense system and a real nuclear deterrent is our best defense against anybody being targetted whether throughterrorism or rogue military action.
This is already happening. Russia and China have been siphoning nuclear technology to Central America, N Korea, and probably Iran for a while. None of these are angels. They say one thing to your face whie they do another.
There is no good outcome to this. I do not think Iran would strike first because the risk is too great for the country. But I do think Iran may be using nukes or the thought/danger of developing warheads in order to provoke an attack from Israel. That way, they can say they are "justified" in retaliation, and this will bond the other Arab countries together against Israel. And from there, it will only get uglier.
Would you support Israel military attacks on Iran's nuclear centers?
In principle or in reality?
In principle they are a soveriegn nation, with the same right to defend themselves as anyone else.
In reality, if they are a threat to us. Then our same right to defend ourselves would lead me to say, "Sure, take the SOB's out."
As always, statements of principle and the realities of survival often clash.
However, not that this is not a carte blanche endorsement of aggression by Isreal. As allued to above, it's case by case as viewed from our perspective.
Yeah, because Israel cares so damn much about our soldiers. (And really, why would they, even presuming good intentions to them? They are OUR soldiers, who necessarily are worth less than THEIR soldiers.)
We saw their view of American sailors when they massacred 34 of them on the USS Liberty.
This is funny coming from you.
In another thread didn't you say you wanted to p*** on the graves of every US soldier?
Only if Iran has attacked Israel first (not a threat of an attack, but a real attack).
It wouldn't have to be nuclear, if Iran launched biological weapons, or a real missle, then I could support a war between the nations.
Not a "Well Iran gave missles to hamas" It has to be from Iran. The United States, China, and Russia all give weapons to countries that attack one another, yet we aren't attacked for it.
Well, without the war drums, and blab speak from Condi Rice, who will be cranking up the "let's get them before they get us ?" speech ? Think the camera will focus on the beady eyes, and "be afraid America" lips ? Will there be music swelling in the background as kiddies swing in the playground ? How about a quick camera cut to the little red white and blue tricycle, and church steeple ? "Are YOU willing to have EYE RAN take away YOUR freedoms with their dastardly nuke ambitions ?" Quick shot of the White House. The Washington monument. "Imagine having these taken away by a nuke bomb from EYE RAN, America !!!!!" Loud scream. More frantic music. A quick cut to some old dude in a turban who has been dead 100 years. Another scream.
