If Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons, that's not for the American people and (corrupt) government to decide. That's up to their people and government. We have thousands of nukes, but they can't have one because they talk about how they hate America? We're the only nation that's used a nuke, and we killed 120,000 people in the blink of an eye. Actions speak louder than words.
What makes America so great that we are entitled to not only possess nuclear weapons, but dictate which countries can and cannot do so themselves? Is it the endless wars we fight? The criminals who don't get held accountable for everything from fraud to murder? The government that shows blatant disregard for the Constitution which its sole purpose is to obey? The politicians who are just puppets for big banks and corporate interests? The morons who get propaganda pumped into their mushy brains and cheerlead every war towards a country that the mainstream media says is a threat?
Let them have a nuke. Let them have a thousand nukes for all I care. What are they going to do, nuke America? Their country would literally be flattened faster than you can say "war mongering propaganda" if a single nuclear weapon was headed our way.
We were told that Iraq had nuclear weapons, and we needed to start a war to protect ourselves. That turned out to be a lie. Now we're being told that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, and we need to start a war to protect ourselves. What makes you think it's true this time? We were told last time that the evidence was undeniable, but how did that work out? The lie isn't even that they have nukes this time, it's that they are trying to develop them.
If the American people fall for the same stunt over again, then there's little hope for the future of this country if people can't even see through this obvious war propaganda. But we have politicians getting applause when they talk about bombing Iran and going to war because they're a threat.
How are they a threat? How many Iranians have bombed your city lately? How many Iranian battleships are patrolling the Gulf of Mexico? What sanctions have been put on America by Iran? We're the ones putting sanctions on them, one consequence being the restriction of the import/export of oil, but just the other day on a Ron Paul interview I saw Megyn Kelly talking about how Iran blocking the Straight of Hormuz would raise oil prices, and that that's unacceptable and said that we need to do something about it.
So when we restrict the flow of oil for their country, it's fine and dandy, but when they do it to us, let's go to war!!! "My gas costs too much, let's go kill some people!" Do you people realize the sheer insanity that a sizeable chunk of the American people display when it comes to war? They grasp at invisible, non-existant straws. That's how pathetic things have gotten. Not only are they the biggest hypocrites imaginable, but they're completely bloodthirsty, and filled with the necessity to flex their muscles and illustrate their dominance and superiority to any country that so much as wipes their asses incorrectly.
War with Iran would be as retarded as the child that would be created from mixing the war mongerer Rick Santorum's DNA with that of war mongerer Rick Perry. And yes, if you support a war with Iran, you're a war monger. At least own up to it, and be proud that you support killing people because the mainstream media and phony politicians tell you they're bad people.edit on 16-1-2012 by TupacShakur because: (no reason given)

Great Post , and well said . American Imperialism is in No Way Condoned within the Principles of the Constitution . That is unless the Constitution is to be somehow Ignored out of a Selfish Desire to Impose in Iran's case, a Corporate Political Will on another Sovereign Nation through the use of Force based on a Unsubstanciated Threat .
To actually think that we could live as peaceful nations without a guard-dog is naive at best.

Guard dogs protect their territory by remaining within that territory, not by running all over the world yapping at any perceived threat they imagine.
The federal government cannot even protect its own borders, like any guard dog would be expected to do, but naively people seem to think this federal government can "police" the world.

What you say makes perfect sense, if only those doing the guarding weren't psychopathic nut balls bent on world domination and or destruction which ever comes first. Then of course the question becomes who's psychopathic nut ball do I prefer running the arena, theirs or mine?
There is no winning here, only poisonous exchange of the usual.
I think that the federal government has to police the world.

Because We the People have done such a pathetic job of policing the federal government, your advocacy of a U.S. world police is a profane curse on the world.
Let's clean up our own back yard before getting so sanctimonious about what others are doing in the world.
