The Soviet Union was a threat to the US and they had thousands of nuclear weapons.
If Iran gets a nuke how is that the end of the world?
If they use it - it would surely be the end of Iran - and don't they know that?
What about North Korea?
Anyone can rightfully argue North Korea's leaders are nut jobs and yet they have a nuke. Surely they would cease to exists should they ever use it - and crazy or not - they know that.
We are hearing arguments that we must start a war to prevent one!! Insane!
The US just doesn't want Iran to get a nuke before the US has a chance to invade their country.
Once Iran has one it may prevent the US from invading!!
Imagine that! Iran getting the bomb may prevent a WAR![
I hope no one gets me wrong, all I am doing is showing an analogy, I AM NOT SAYING AMERICANS ARE NAZIS.

Dear Slayer69,
I am in awe with your argumentative skills. Baloney! It's classic, timeless, so overwhelmingly educated, how on earth did you come up with that?
The statement was true. The analogy that the US of A playing the nationalistic card to rile all your eager beavers to war, yet again, illegally on the pretext that the "bad guys" have nuclear weapons, but it's fine for the US of A to have them, is spot on.
Your statement that until the US of A don't start cooking people his statement is negated is
It's people like you that make people like the extremists want to bomb you all back into the stone age. Arrogance, fear and war warmongering all the while looking down your noses at everything else which doesn't fit into your bugger eating, big polluting, SUV driving, narrow minded and falsely superior society.
Until you understand the above, I fear that more atrocities will rain down on the mighty *cough* United States of America and all it's allies.
I do know first hand that if given the opportunity, there are many in the ME that would wipe us out without blinking an eye.

PS-some people won't care about my underlined part and flame me anyways...go ahead.
Fair enough....
Let me know when we the US starts shoveling men, women and children into ovens then maybe your half-assed analogy will work.

Oh my, I now realise exactly what i'm dealing with.
You Sir have been measured and found seriously lacking.
I won't be making the mistake of assuming you're worth pissing on if you were on fire again.
Move along please, nothing to see here, is there Slayer69?

And with what they have experienced at our hands, if you were in their place you would too.

Go look it up in your history books.
They strike we retaliate.
Uh, I think you missed part of it. We impose sanction after sanction. We do everything we can to make them attack us. Then we get sanctimonius and attack them never mentioning that it is what we strived for and provoked them into. Perhaps you should look at what history teaches today. A lot has changed since your history teacher did his/her best to bore you to tears with names, dates, places.

We just saw a photo of American soldiers pissing on dead terrorists.

In his analogy Jews were terrorists and Nazis were Americans and you don't think we've done worse and incinerated terrorists?
We are the ever expanding 4th Reich.
What separates 1930's Nazi Germany from the United States is diminishing year by year prodded on by people such as yourself. Right down to the sacrilegious use of God in its justifications.

The analogy is fine. Your desire to take it that literally is not.

Baloney....
Stop trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It makes for great propaganda though

This is concerning to me. Are you saying that rather than just teaching facts that history teachers are now teaching you how to interpret those facts by saying that placing sanctions on a country is nothing more than a provocation?
I believe nothing they say and everything I see .. And what I see is a war is imminent

Most here will never understand US.
I do not want to go to War. Nor do I want War to be waged.
I want peace and freedom.
But, I will not hesitate to strike down those that wish to harm me.
There is a difference.

It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead Marines. And then you will be in a world of #. Because Marines are not allowed to die without permission!
