Originally posted by Omega WeaponOK people are taking this into realm of false dichotomy and that is never good and makes Omega Weapon stratch head.It is true that America is starting to use its powerful nation more and more to bully people with 'if you are not with than you are against.' But even if there were no nuclear missiles in Iraq that does not mean every country America finds to be making them is really not making them! People shouldn't answer and make snide remarks to feed into the stereotype of ignorant American who is defiant because he is culturally lacking. That is exactly what some show here. It's juvenile and rash. And it's imature."If they stopped now, we'd really be screwed. Now unless any of you have a time machine, show some respect and stop bitching."Americans need to understand that they are not the only country in the world. We saw they knew little about France but Fox News said 'France sux0rz!' and everyone hated French and renamed food in defiance. The super hero image is false. America does good but it is not superman!!! It is right in this case to attack Iran but we should not overblow things here.Muslims are not secular enough to handle atomic bombs except for Turkey. Pakistan is not secular and because of this recieves massive amounts of money from USA and they call it 'Ally against terror' when really the monies are being used to prop up the military coup leaders there. While this is bad, Iran would destroy Israel if they had nukes so it is OK for pakistan to have nukes because it is smaller and can be purchased by USA.
So, people living in America should just shut up as everyone else slanders us? If I insulted or slandered someone else's country, everyone would pitch a fit and call me a racist bicth
We are always criticizd for everything we do wrong, but are never recognized when we do something right.
Is it because we've become something that other countries want to be but can't? are they jealous.
The Middle Eastern countries are all bound together by the same religion pretty much. Almost the entire area is Muslim, if not all. In that light, they will of course see each other as "brothers" and willl stick up for each other.
Of course there are the loons that want superiority and want to show off their guns to try and shut people up. They want to frighten the people, and if they need to, will use the nukes
Going back a bit, someone mentioned the US and Russia having the majority of the Nuclear programs or whatever. Well, here's a news flash: WE NEVER INTEND TO USE THEM!
which isn't very often.
Truman dropping the atomic bombs in WWII really didn't need to happen, but it wasn't like he was a great commander-in-chief in the first place.
The countries that would more than likely fire a nuke would be China, NK, or one of the aggressive Middle Eastern countries. Why? They are more hostile , especially with the way things are.
I general I'd say I agree 98% with Grandy's post above.
Almost all America is christain, would YOU help us if we were at war?
Surprise to you: Cold war, both U.S. and Russia were waving the missiles at each other and screaming "I'm gonna throw, I'm gonna throw!"Besides, if you do not intent to use, why just not dispose of them? I would prove your good intentions AND would put you inside that pact both US and Russia made, but none respect, about the max number of nuklear warheads.
THAT is what I'm saying, you're acusing these countries the very same way you don't like we to acuse U.S.
Well, I am not a Christian. As for who I would help, it depends.
When an "enemy" is threatening to use a weapon of such high magnitude, you better have the same thing or something better to defend yourself with.
corrupt communist leaders that would use these weapons if they found it opportune
The countries I listed would use these as a first strike or offensive purpose.
The U.S. would use them for defensive purposes.
There is a huge difference.

You can mention it, that's it.The point is a lot of Christian idiots out there ruin it for the rest of us by calling themselves a Christian organization and stuff. Heh, I hate Christian music, I'm prochoice, and I don't force my religeon on anyone else. Stop assuming I do.
