Target Iran: US able to strike in the spring

It seems to me you want Iran to go nuclear.... Do you really believe Iran has peaceful intentions? We all lose if the mid-east goes nuclear.... It just postpones the inevitable. Think of it like this: if a country, under proper guidance, develops nuclear power (and weaponry) they have a strong infrastructure, education and scientific community to handle it. Compare this with a country importing weapons from somewhere else out of desperation. Which do you think is going to make a "mistake" first? The developed nations cannot forever pretend that they are the arbiters for the rest of the world, even if some in their populations believe this. -- BOFH excuse #288: Hard drive sleeping.

You make that sound like a *bad* thing... Are you saying that the guaranteed nuclear counter response and resulting regional death, destruction, and nuclear fallout around the world are good things? Guaranteed nuclear response is what kept the cold war from becoming too hot in the developed nations for half a century. The wars went on in other countries with all manner of other weapons, with resulting death and injuiries by the tens of millions. I don't think you're making a good point in isolating "nuclear" from "non-nuclear" here. The fact that developed countries might suffer if many nations obtain deliverable powerful weapons is about the only thing that worries them. IMHO its a good thing, since it will bring out statemen with wider vision, and force all nations to make greater efforts to cooperate, and not merely divide the world into something along the lines of the G8 and all the others. -- BOFH excuse #198: Post-it Note Sludge leaked into the monitor. |

I don`t think Americans like to see this situation If they are going to attack a CV, they gotta find it first..no assets I know of to do that. |

You are talking about millions of deaths here. And that, of course, would be a *good* *thing* Only if you are a keyboard commando who gets off on the idea of nuclear holocausts, with zero empathy for anyone who would be caught in one, or ability to comprehend that the fighting and/or radiation and killing could spread to the very place you sit right now. |
