i think ur assumptions are taking it too far to assume talibans can "just get the nukes from Pakistan". most countries other than US/Russia only have a handful of nukes anyways. still, world wide opinion is, the USA is really fucking up this war on terror and WMD witch-hunt. | ||

I don't think Pakistan would hand nukes over, that's silly. But there was some mention that they might loose control of the Silos that contain them, and granted I doubt the Taliban would have had technical knowledge to make use of that, the very idea is still rather alarming. | ||

The US is not going to attack Iran any time soon, and Mr. Hayder knows that well enough. If you disagree and think they will go ahead fine, but unless war actually breaks out I'll be right and you'll be wrong. As to what you can post and what not: Just don't make one liner posts. You can post a link to a Youtube video along with your own post, just don't post nothing but a link. sigh I posted a youtube video and you only looked at one aspect of it£. I was not trying to prove anything, but if you look at his arguments then you could have checked whether or not his facts are genuine facts and drawn your own conclusions. Personall, I can't imagine full scale invasion by the US, but I can imagine Israel striking Iran in a major way and the US and allies being ready to deal with any retaliatory measures by Iran. I'm not at all convinced that the US government actually believes that Iran is (still) developing any nukes. The mere fact that Iran is buying more defensive and probably also offensive weapons could be a reason for the US to make a move. Iran is not allowed to be strong in the region. The US only attack weak nations. That's official policy since forever. I wouldn't discount what the guy was saying about alliances being formed. The US is making moves while it can still do so with impunity. In 30 years time this will no longer be possible, and it won't be because the US helped build up international order, or at least an effective way of dealing with agressors. The legacy is one of mass murder, terrorism and assassinations. This fact should not be controversial and the conversations here would be a little more constructive if we could all agree on the well-documented historic record (=the basics), and not get lost in the US media talking points and neo-con-style crazy talk.. | ||

1.) People go on stupid tangents that should be saved for PMs. 2.) Nobody reads what anybody else writes and it becomes a finger-in-ear "my posts are more inflammatory than yours." 3.) There is insufficient love. That said, nukes are like giant teddy bears of great affection and should be launched to bring warmth and delight to all corners of globe, including Antarctica, which is a way better continent than Europe, Asia, or the Americas. | ||

Crazy stuff going on people ~~ but do not fear, the global police is on their way... "U.S. Navy Investigating Report of Persian Gulf Tanker Attack" July 28, 2010 An explosion, possibly caused by an attack, damaged an oil tanker Wednesday near the mouth of the Persian Gulf, Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines said. The company said the blast on its tanker M. Star caused one minor injury but did not cause an oil leak. The ship was damaged due to "an explosion from a suspected attack from the outside" in the waters off Oman, near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, the company said. The strait leads into the Persian Gulf past Oman and Iran, and is a transit point for about 40 percent of oil shipped by tankers worldwide. "We believe it's highly likely an attack," Mitsui spokeswoman Eiko Mizuno said. "There is nothing that can explode in that part of the vessel." Source | ||

How about letting such things be known it's a joke i.e. maybe a smiley face. I say this because when you do things like that, you will put readers off. | ||

You are either a teenager that doesn't understand world politics, or else a , god i can't say it without it getting deleted. What you are suggesting is the equivalent of giving a DOOMSDAY DEVICE to someone like a highschool bully. WHILE HE IS STILL IN HIGHSCHOOL! You are either an Iranian praying for America's downfall or else completely noob and retarded at world relations. We WORKED to get where we are in this world. We Americans, through fu$%ing sweat, blood, and death of WW2 saved the world from fascism, and discovered the most deadly weapon in the history of EVERYTHING on the way. Thats like winning a starcraft game, and then saying, bah, im too greedy, i should give the guy all my minerals and 3 hours to build while i go look at porn and lose. Just handing that treasure over to third world countries and such would result in EVERYONE DYING. Nigeria-"Hm, those neighbors we have, the Nigers, are stealing water from our well. NUKE THE FUCKERS!" Niger- "Oh SHIT! RETALIATE!" the REST OF AFRICA-"NUKES ARE FLYING! SHIT! EVERYONE RETALIATE!" Thats just a TASTE of something that could happen. No matter how good you are anyone deems you at computer games, world political relations takes more than "pro starcraft apm" to master and think about correctly. User was temp banned for this post. Tell poster he doesn't understand world relations. Relate world relations to StarCraft. | ||

Apparently US Congress is trying to pass bill HR 1553, which would give Israel the green light to engage Iran, obviously with American support. I never thought such an insane idea was up for debate to begin with, but if this bill gets passed, Zatic may just have to eat his own words.

There is no perfect way for the world to be at peace and have humans still living in it, but ask yourself this: No matter what the reigning ideology is in America, it remains a country of laws and rules. Would you rather have a nation rooted in jurisprudence as a superpower, or a nation rooted in a particular religion? One word: Lobotomies. | ||

I don't think anything short of nuclear weapons will help them from the wrath of the US military, though. | ||

A pretty insane idea if you ask me. Still in addition to my claim the US won't attack Iran I state they won't attack the Netherlands any time soon either, even though the bill has already passed Congress 8 years ago. I will gladly eat my word when the cruise missiles start flying. | ||
