It is not acceptable to sell nuclear technology to pro-terrorist countries. PERIOD.
Shame on you for putting my life at risk so you can make a quick buck.
Russia's moron leader (yes, I know this is ironic coming from an American) needs to be removed from the Kremlin. He is a disgraceful jackass who is doing his very best to bring back the cold war.
Russia needs to be told POINT BLANK "Stop selling nuclear materials to Iran", if they fail to adhere to this standard, we need to start arming the Chechnian rebels.
If Russia wants to arm terrorists in a position to do us harm, we should repay that act by doing the same.
:doh
Wait a minute, I never suggested that was MY ideal situation.
Personally, I think nukes should be forbidden to any and all countries we can possibly forbid them to as a natural matter of course. There are enough nukes floating around without more people making them. What's more most of the nations that already have them are pretty good about not passing them off to third parties. New players might however make a point of just selling them/giving them/having them mysteriously but FREQUENTLY stolen by the same people over and over again... of course as a complete accident which should not be confused with ever giving the weapons out.
I was merely making suggestions as to how to perfect other people's strategies. I was not judging their ideas...
That person said that everyone has the right to nuclear weapons. So if everyone has a right to them then what is wrong with selling them to them? Right? I mean if they have a RIGHT to it then why is it wrong to sell it to them?
It's illogical.
======================================================
Me? I say let Iran do what it wants. Leave them alone for the time being, albeit, leave them with a very strong warning that if they mess up, we (The US) will destory them.
If they dont mess up, if they dont cause catastrophe and they are responsible with their nuclear amibtions, continue to leave them alone.
If they do mess up, they do cash in on the rest of western worlds fears, crush them. I'm not talking about how we are dinking around in Iraq, I'm talking carpet bomb, target mosques, target schools, level the whole country worse than has ever been seen in history. Do not help rebuild. Leave the message that you will not cause problems on a global scale and be left unscathed.
what would be your solution should Iran "lose" some nukes to terrorist orgs that then blow up a major city somewhere?
You see these ARE terrorist sponsor states and such states train, buy/make weapons for, and otherwise support terrorists. But when these terrorists do something in another country the country that trained and sponsored them is generally not held responsible. This is one of the main reasons terrorism is so popular. It's a way to wage war without risking anyone declaring war upon you.
The Bush doctrine which is controversial here states that to defeat terrorism we have to in fact confront countries that supply these terrorists and hold them responsible for the actions of these terrorists. Under the Bush doctrine for example if Iran gave a nuke to terrorists by some means and then those terrorists blew up a major US city. That would be considered effectively a Nuclear attack on the US by Iran.
Do you agree with this doctrine. If not what would you suggest instead. Furthermore please state your primary priorities. The Bush doctrine whether right or wrong was specifically designed to safe guard US security in the long term. That was it's goal. I am not saying that is what it does or for that matter that it does not do that. Only and specifically taht that is what it was designed to do.
So what are your objectives and how will you accomplish them.
