I go by deeds, not words.. The fact is the US is responsible for far more deaths of innocent people in the Middle East than is Iran during your lifetime.
Man, is this a political debate tonight or a comedy show. Are you really so clueless that you think the MAD principle will work with muslim extremist? The best we can hope for from Iran with nukes is that they continue wanting to kill Sunni Muslims more than they want to kill us or Israel. Entirely possible since they do spend a lot more time and resources killing Sunni's than anyone else.
Your serious? Innocent German, other than children during Hitler? Man, I have to tell you, some of the responses from people on here tonight are far more hilarious than anything that has been on TV for a longtime.

Your link states that it was a "controversial" bombing (and during a war), not the intentional targeted murder of innocent people, like Iran does to it's OWN citizens. It sure SEEMS like you are trying to make the United States out to be crazy like the Iranian government. Why are you trying to make your country look bad?
So, just to clarify things, because we might kill innocents, we should not conduct wartime operations against people trying to kill us? Uh, how exactly then are we supposed to stop them from trying to kill us?
I'm not trying to make my country look bad, I'm trying to refute your point. You claimed the US doesn't intentionally target civilians, yet the bombings of Dresden, as well as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had more civilian casualties than military.
Of what threat were the Iraqis to the US?
The 25,000 civilians weren't innocent? Why do you say that?
This is what I don't get. You will rail against the slightest bit of religion in the US, but a totalitarian theocracy you have no trouble with (even them getting nukes). Where's the consistency?
Because we prefer Israel does not get nuked.
Well, nK turned into a black hole and Pakistan housed OBL.
Neither Iraq nor Iran are a threat to the US.
So you think the United States leadership is as crazy as the Iranian regime?
How many innocents did the Nazis kill?
NOT intentionally and during wars. There IS a difference whether you want to admit that or not.
Neither Iraq nor Iran are a threat to the US.
Considering the U.S. spends much of it's time claiming to be God's land, I don't see us being all that much better than they are. Besides, since the U.S. is a bunch of wusses, only attacking those who can't possibly defend themselves, I figure Iran might as well have nukes, if for no other reason, than to protect themselves against us. After all, if they can actually give us a bloody nose, we'll have no stomach for war except in the extreme circumstances it ought to actually attack to invade another sovereign nation.
Says who? I have no problem whatsoever with them getting nuked, I'd love to see Jerusalem turned into a glass desert, just to piss off three major religious groups.
No wait, not nuked, then you'll just have three giant groups of delusional idiots looking to take revenge. How about a nice big meteor coming down on the Dome of the Rock? That would be nice.
And we refused to attack Pakistan because they had nukes. Go figure. What, trying to keep Iran a viable military target?
I think it has been as we have higher a higher death count of innocents to boast.
How would we know where these facilities are?
What, trying to keep Iran a viable military target?
Neither Iraq nor Iran are a threat to the US.
What about the WMD?
Neither Iraq nor Iran are a threat to the US.
Why does it matter? The lesser of two evils is still evil. And no, before you jump on your keyboard, I'm not saying the United States is bad, the bombings were.
There isn't. We knew the cost of the bombings yet we still carried on with them.
