Well, sucks to be them, but better them than our GI's if those sights hadn't been taken down.

I don't know why I expected a more reasoned response to the ethical issues of dual use targeting, than "sucks to be them!" How about we get off our ass and produce our own energy rather than putting young soldiers in harm's way unnecessarily in the first place?

You mean the civilians who probably have no idea those nuclear facilities exist? The civilians who lack a free press and have censored internet?

If you want to care more about their civilians than ours, there you go, you have a quarter, call someone who cares.

Then you should take into account the life lost once Iran uses them as they have threatened.

You can't expect civilians with no weapons to fight off an army. The citizens of Iran do NOT have second amendment rights.
 
I don't know what Obusha did. Maybe he tried real hard and was rebuffed. Maybe he didn't try so hard. Maybe it's a terrible idea. If I were elected, I would try very hard before I opened fire.

ChrisL said:
Didn't Obama try and then just gave up trying to have a reasonable exchange? Not to mention, all you have to do is take a look at some of the things the mullahs say and do.

This is exactly why so many people hate us, we can't just bomb everybody that we don't see eye to eye with.

From Back to Bataan

Johin Wayne "the US is pulling out and I have been assigned to help the Phillipino resistance."
Phillipino resistance fighter (prf) "but we have no guns, so ammuntion, no supplies, how can we resist?"
JW "You have a rifle, where did you get it from?"
PRF "I took it off of a dead jap"
JW "now you know where to get rifles and ammunition from."

Did you see some of the cell phone footage that was taken of that disaster? You can't be serious.
 
It is some evidence that you are out of touch. Phone calls are now 50¢.

Iran has some big talkers. So do we. During the GOP debates everybody (except RP) was singing bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.

Easy to be hard.

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?

Canell said:
So, what? They won't nuke America, most certainly. May be they will nuke Israel, if Israel doesn't nuke them first.
But why has the U.S.A. to be involved in this?
Click to expand...

Because we prefer Israel does not get nuked.

Cephus said:
Same thing that happened when everyone else got working nukes. Not a whole lot.

Well, nK turned into a black hole and Pakistan housed OBL.

Canell said:
Well, you have built that anti-missile system, haven't you? So, why bother?
As to Israel, they have lots of nukes, why not let them deal with Iran?

Again with this "who cares if Israel gets nuked" attitude.

It would be good if nobody got bombed.

Why can we just bomb the leaders?

Unfortunately, we have yet to develop a fully operational "jackass seeking bomb" of sufficient precision. :mrgreen:
 
Is it worth noting that as far as we know Iran has not created a nuclear weapon. Yet we hear all this desire to attack them.

How about NK? Don't we care about SK? NK makes Iran look like a moderate state by comparison. Yet we don't threaten them.

Can anyone explain?

NK is known to already have nukes and to have detonated a couple. The best window of opportunity has already passed. WE should not make the same mistake twice...
