    The Americans are having trouble recruiting enough soldiers to keep the army numbers up as it is, so there's little chance of them launching any invasion of Iran.

    Good thing too - they milked 9/11 enough for the world to allow them to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, but the appeasement has got to stop there.

    Nuclear weapons are a good thing all round.

    Isn't it funny that once the leaders of the various empires came under direct threat, they stopped lining up each others citizens against each other every 20 years or so, and started to pick on other random groups of people who couldn't fight back?

    Now if everyone had them then the wankers who want to rule us all would have to stop and go do something rpoductive.

    Is it in our interests for them to have nukes?

    I just read the title as "Iran's Nuclear Pogrom"...

    Anyway. Is it in OUR interest? Nope. We can't exploit their resources if they do. Is it in IRANS interest? Most certainly.

    it's not about rights ...it's about power.

    but all great powers crumble and fall ...and the thinking of some you ...is what will lead to your poverty.

    What right do you have to say "Fuck them?"

    May I Remind you, silly sod, that they DEFEATED the worlds THIRD LARGEST ARMY (Behind the Chinese and the US respectivley), whilst it was BACKED AND HELPED by the USA itself?

    So if the USA, teamed up with Iraq, cannot defeat the Iranian Armed forces, which at that time for far more poorley equiped and trained than it is now... think what any intervention today would end up like.

    There is shit all we can do. Especialyl when we have our forces occupying two big fat messes as it is.

    No I dont thank anyone should have nuclear capability but just because we do have it i dont think it gives us the right to boss other countries around to suit ourselves.

    I'm not denying that, but it does not mean I have to agree with how it is done!

    or agree that we allow those who hate us to have nukes ...

    whether you like it or not ...oil is your life.
    oil is also their only real income.
    meaning ...things could have been done so differently.
    but allowing iran to have nukes is insanity.
    there are oindividuals willing ...wanting to die in the hope our civilisation collapses ...some of those who think like this may well be in power.

    history is full of people who made bad decisions ...mistakes ...had murderous intent ...and now we can add death wish to the list.
    we should be campaigning for all nukes to be gotten rid of ...not finding flimsy and emotional excuses for more.
