Prophesy
Maybe but, we're discussing Iran
Iran has a right to defend itself like any other nation, and if it deems nukes to be critical to that role, so be it.
It needn't be said that the per-dollar value of nukes has diminished significantly over the years to cyber arms (which may soon completely replace nukes as a deterrent).
O certainly believes its OK for Iran to have nukes, or else he wouldn't be doing what he's doing.
National sovereignty empowers nations to enter into treaties, and dissolve treaties as it may be in their interest. No other nation can force a treaty upon another.
How do you know only 14 of the 64 voted 'yes'?
And how can someone 'screw' with the results?
But is that the right of the U.S. to dictate to the rest of the world, sounds a lot like colonialism
Don't you wish you could ask that question to the many Iraqis that fell pray to our bombs and missiles?
Does the U.S. have the right to have nuclear weapons while denying other sovereign nations to same right? And because the NPT says so is not a good enough answer - that justifies the double standard of the haves and the have nots but does not make it right
So if Iran abrogates the NPT then you wont have a problem with that?
It is a good answer. Iran voluntarily signed it. They have the right to leave it if they want. So long as they dont, they are bound by the agreement.
I don't care what it sounds like. Despite leftist prattle about sensitivity toward all, Muslim jihadists included, the world is not one big kindergarten. This country has no obligation to be fair to its enemies.
If we had a real president, the U.S. would tell the jihadist curs in Tehran what to do, and make them like it. They are scared of what this country could do to them if it wanted, and we should have taken advantage of that years ago to impose our will on them. Or, better yet, to get the murdering degenerates overthrown.
Sounds like you support world domination by the U.S.
I support a foreign policy which is based on strength and which advances the interests of the United States. In other words, just the opposite of the limpwristed foreign policy the un-American liar now occupying the White House has pursued. Like many other statists, he does not much like this country.
Like I said, this is the one treaty that no one should be allowed to back out of once they signed it. I do of course know that isn't the way it is. But imo that should have been a stipulation put into the NPT. Also Iran and N. Korea wasn't forced into the NPT originally. The only thing that I'm advocating for is that they not be allowed to simply walk away from it after they willingly signed it the moment it becomes inconvenient for them.
Well I love my country and am I retired vet, but I also do not think we have the right to impose our will on the rest of the world, if we ar unwilling to do what we ask them to do, in this case give up all nuclear weapons and the right to develop nuclear weapons
Right. You can show up here daily and demonize one party or the other with ample support, the moment you criticize both is the moment you'll wear the anti-American label.
:roll: Call me when the "Jesus squad" starts publicly executing gays, denying the holocaust, and stating that they don't mind seeing the US burn if it means the triumph of Christianity over the world.
The only reason they don't is because secular society doesn't allow it. I'm sure you could find lots of extremist Christians who would be very happy to start executing gays, in fact, some asshat politician from California just suggested such a thing. And, of course, most of these people think that America is a gift from God, so seeing it burn is probably not an option, but the rest of the world? They don't really care.
Well I am an independent and have been criticizing both parties for decades and will never wear an anti-American label
The only people that I've ever heard of like that are the Phelps' which is a church which consists of one guy and his family and they certainly aren't controlling this country or have access to "the button".
I heard someone make the argument that Obama doesn't believe the US has any rightful role in preventing or hindering Iran from developing and maintaining nuclear weapons. I don't know that that's true, and nobody but the President can answer to what he believes, so I'll ask what you believe. If Iran has the ability, does it have the "right" to nuclear weapons? (By "right", I mean the U.S. and other nations would not be unjustified in trying to prevent it.)
working on the poll
Right. But one mans prophecy is another mans fairy tale.
When you view poll results click on one of the numbers. It will show who voted for what.
As for screwing with the results. A person simply as to stay logged out and vote, clear cookies and then vote again. Rinse repeat.
Can't that be fixed? Seems like a rather recent development.
