wmw999 2,120 #16 October 18, 2007 How do we know how likely they are? Actually, the penalty for one of them using it would be considerably greater than for our using it, as a nation. It's wrong to assume that others are stupid just because they're not like us, or don't share all our values. I rather doubt that any nation will use nukes. They'll rattle them like sabers, and we'll hope that they keep them safe. Individuals or small groups (i.e. terrorists) are far more likely to use nukes. That said, I think we're making far too much of Iran right now, and trying far too hard to maintain our "position as world moral leaders." We pissed that one away by invading another country (Iraq).

A: Because I said so. There's more too it than that ... unless you're being very stealth under-the-radar Mr. President -- --- -- Jim, It's a legitimate question that's worth talking about given the current proto-proliferation wave going on internationally, i.e., Iran, DPRK ... A short answer is because the NPT (& the ratifying US legislation, signed by President Nixon) says we can, along w/the other signatory nuclear weapons states pre-1969. Much-debated Article VI says also NWS will make efforts toward total disarmament ... it doesn't say when. One of my favorite nuc-related sites, which doesn't doesn't get a lot of visibiity, is http://www.acq.osd.mil/ncbdp/nm/ The front page summarizes another part of the argument: "Why Nuclear Matters .... "Nuclear weapons will continue to be a national security concern for the U.S. as long as nuclear weapon technologies exist in the hands of other nations or non-state entities." The US nuclear "umbrella" has provided an incentive for allies with latent technical capability to forgo developing independent arsenals. Would you believe that at one point Sweden and Norway seriously considered nuclear weapons programs? They were concerned about Soviets coming up over the Barent's sea (where Norway has a land border w/Russia). I wish the world were such that we could eliminate all nuclear weapons *and* be confident in complete global disarmament.

CornishChris 5 #23 October 18, 2007 What?! Really?! GWB exagerate the threat another country poses the US and it's allies.

livendive 8 #25 October 18, 2007 QuoteHe was talking about AVOIDING WWIII and shoring up international support against Iran's nuclear effort. We should all be able to agree on the fact that we don't want Iran having a nuke. In context, he was making a roundabout threat regarding WWIII, and no, I do not agree with that. In June, an overwhelming majority of Republican Presidential candidates said they would consider the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. As a non-politician, I'm not big on being two-faced, therefore I think Iran should be able to legally pursue possession of any weapon the US or other sabre rattling countries keep in their arsenal. Iran is not the only country with a short-sighted egomaniac at its helm, and she deserves the right to defend herself. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
