ummm both the modern day problems in Iran and with Islamic radical militants/terrorists go back to terribly short-sighted and tragic decisions by 2 Republican Presidents.
That's an amusing rewrite of history...
Iranian Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No nation ever posed a direct significant threat to the US until they developed significant intercontinental ballistic missile capability. Believing that we should watch them enrich uranium for nuclear power and they will never construct weapons capable of turning Israel to glass or eventually go long range is the kind of short sighted and pro muslim thinking that I'd expect from the Obama administration. This is the way forward to mutually assured destruction.
Then you should be aware the US is more concerned about Pakistan losing a nuke.
The levels of controls & fail safes Pakistan has on nukes.
The attacks on Nuke facilities in Pakistan.
That you have 4 differing tribal regions in Pakistan.
That Pakistan has been supportive of attacks on India, and in Afghanistan.
That Pakistan has caused more proliferation- N Korea- Iran, for starters.
That China laid the law down to Pakistan about shutting down Islamist's in order to receive aid.
Yep- Pakistan is more of a problem then Iran is.
Yep, said it myself. All the handwringing over Iran that hasn't been proven to have a nuclear problem, and yawns on the fact that Pakistan and Israel have them.
You correctly pointed out that MAD works, why don't you leave it at that?

swing and a miss. try going back to 1953 . once you have learned that topic, you might read about later events such as the arming and training of the mujahadeen, etc. then we can even move on to other clusterf's like using iraq as a proxy against iran ... blah blah.
Well, the Sunni are certainly upset and mad this last Decade. No doubt!
Which is why the Saud stated Iran gets their Nuke the Saud will have theirs and more.
Ahh you got a Marx professor, it's okay, looking around and learning is hard. Continue feeling.
Iran was radicalised the moment the US using the CIA, covertly toppled the Iranian government in 1953. Then, arming Saddam Hussein who was at war with Iran was another nasty USFP in the Middle East. No president including and going forward from Mr. Carter is free of the guilt of radicalising portions of the Middle East.
Is a nuclear Iran an existential threat to Israel?
The power struggle between those 2 should not draw the West in.Well, the Sunni are certainly upset and mad this last Decade. No doubt!

Other than simple self appointment, the US has no authority to decide which countries do and which countries do not have nuclear weapons. And as the only country to date that has used nuclear weapons, and on two very civilian targets, the US should be the last to be deciding on this. But when you carry a big stick, you pretty much do as you wish. And this is why republicans in particular, never want to see the pentagon, that sacred cow, receive even the slightest budget cut, never mind that the size and scope of our military far surpasses defensive obligations.
What are the ranges of Israeli nukes?Heya Janfu. :2wave: Yes it is.....without question.
Director of U.S. National Intelligence James Clapper testified on March 12, 2013, that Iran’s ballistic missiles were capable of delivering WMD.[149] According to some analysts, the liquid-fueled Shahab-3 missile and the solid-fueled Sejjil missile have the ability to carry a nuclear warhead.[150] Iran’s ballistic missile program is controlled by IRGC Air Force (AFAGIR), while Iran’s combat aircraft is under the command of the regular Iranian Air Force (IRIAF).[151]
Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan stated at a press conference on August 2014 that Iran’s missile capability issue was not included in the comprehensive talks with the P5+1 countries and "will by no means be negotiated with anyone".[156].....snip~

Israel is not a problem. Pakistan is.

Well, our military passes defensive obligation due to the very fact that it isn't meant for defense, but rather is meant for offensive actions around the globe.
Hey, to be redundant here, my preference would be that nobody has nukes. I just don't see the hand wringing over Iran having them, which has not been proven, while being nonchalant about Israel and Pakistan having them. Which means essentially that the US facilitated it.
War would only slow Iran's ability to have a nuke bomb. Slow, not stop.So, you think it is okay for Iran to up the game and cop 8 more Nuke reactors.....huh? All which they can delay Inspections and talks about them now, Right? Since none of them are on the table, so to speak.
Buying them Directly from Russia.....and BO peep with the Lost Sheep now all of a sudden believe Putin is about helping the Talks with Iran, Right?
Do you think BO will ever figure out. How he was outplayed and outwitted while being made to look like a fool?

Pro Muslim?????? Really? Expressing ones opinion that they don't think that Iran is a nuclear threat is pro Muslim. Come on man. Even if you could PROVE that Iran was a nuclear threat, he might be naive, but pro Muslim! That's ridiculous.
How many times, and in how many ways must I say that I would prefer that NOBODY had nukes, and that Iran having it is no more a threat than Israel or Pakistan having it, or the US for that matter!
Obama is pro muslim in the totality of his foreign policy. He favored the Muslim brotherhood over Mubarak in Egypt, he also favored them in Lybia when Gadaffi was ousted. He favored The free Syrian army In Syria which had ties to Islamists. He's destroyed our relationship with Israel. He refuses to recognize that there is a violence problem within Islam. He grew up in Madarassas in Indonesia and has a deep respect for the religion. His bias toward Islam is obvious.
