Re: Does Iran have a "Right" to Nuclear Weapons?

In the pre-industrial world it was certainly possible to kill hundreds of thousands. It was just harder work. Manual labor, as it were.

Much, much harder, to be next to impossible.

Talk to the people of Rwanda abou what you can achieve with machetes and knives.

Yes, terrible. And just as worthy of scorn. But not done in a single strike with so high numbers. Sorry.

Indeed the numbers were far higher in Rwanda. It did take several weeks, that is true.

If we add time, I'm not sure far higher is correct (radiation lasts awhile). But not the point. The person I was arguing with was talking about far earlier than Rwanda, which we both agree was horrible and immoral.

Do not use what you think conservatives believe in a debate with me.

Good reply. I do have to admit that you're not a conservative in the modern context of the word, and I have to give you props for that.

But my point stands that those who are conservative should be eager for Iran and just about every other nation to get the bomb - it's the same logic they use for guns: if everyone is armed, it will be more peaceful because everyone can shoot back.
 
the question is are they suicidal.. or will their religion tell them to kill the west if it mean killing themselves...or would they accidently let a radical group of people get one to use against the west/Christians....maybe we cannot take that chance....until we would know for sure we should stop them....korea knows better than to use a nuke against us...they would be dead in 2 minutes ...I am sure we have a couple of subs off there coast 20 mile out....

The correlation between armed citizens and restrained behavior has only been demonstrated in the U.S.

The correlation between armed citizens and restrained behavior has only been demonstrated in the U.S.

I think that Switzerland and Finland would disagree with that. Then again, their gun ownership is still significantly more regulated than our own.

But in any case, correlation does not equal causation...because if it did, well, then we easily can point out which first-world nation has by far the highest homicide rate....

The entire Jewish race is a problem. That's why.A problem much like a rodent problem. Only way to cure the problem is to destroy the rodent.




Nice Try......

'Common Dreams' website traps Hasbara troll spewing anti-Semitism

EXCERPT “ A Jewish student posting virulently anti-Semitic comments at various internet forums, allegedly*“to gauge how pervasive anti-Semitism” is online, has been busted by the progressive website Common Dreams (CD).
So if evidence of anti-Semitism wasn’t there, he’d create it himself.

His posting on Common Dreams illustrates the susceptibility of website comment threads to massive manipulation.
And what was the goal of this pollution? Common Dreams says the hate speech undermined fundraising efforts, and was intended to do so.

Should any of this surprise us? Heck no! Millions have been invested in shutting down discussion of Israel online, and what better way to do it than close down progressive websites that host discussion of Israel."CONTINUED

So all anti-semitic posts are Hasbara/Mossad 'False Flag' ops?

What about YOUR posts claiming the Jews control Hollywood, News Media, Wall Street, and the Government?
ie,
http://www.debatepolitics.com/middl...military-verge-collapse-2.html#post1064587979

What about Your Posts which contain every anti-Israel/anti-semitic conspiracist link on the internet:
GlobalResearch, WayneMadsen, PressTV.ir, RT, Timesofpol, etc.

Surely anyone [else] can see who's the Hasbara mole. (Oh those Wacky/Obvious Links!)
(and probably a few more CT links in 'response')

If you look in the mirror, I think you'll see the real problem that needs to be taken care of.

As usual, you're "telling falsehoods" & trying to derail this thread for the sole purpose of slandering me; an obsession of yours.

Re: "]What about YOUR posts claiming the Jews control Hollywood, News Media, Wall Street, and the Government[/u]?"

I was citing a quote not expressing an opinion.

Since you can't refute any Posts I've submitted, you harass me with your Off-Topic slander
 
Re: Does Iran have a "Right" to Nuclear Weapons?

I was surprised to see such a large number of people supporting Iran's right to have nuclear weapons.

Immediately after the break up of the Soviet Union, there were many Out-Of-Work Bio/Chem weapons scientists out of work. Iran hired most of them, has maintained an extensive Bio/Chem arsenal which it has expressed no interest in using. They apparently know the consequences.

For those who voted AGAINST Iran's right to nuclear weapons, I'm interested in why you feel that way

Opinions?

There is no doubt that Iran has no right to have nuclear weapons. To believe it does is just lack of knowledge. Why should the fact of having developed other wmd mean they should be granted more wmd in the form of nukes? That sounds off the wall.

Not really. No.
