Push for war with Iran

I hate to sound like a hippie or anything, but let's try this on for size:

YANKEE GO HOME!

 

A sad but brilliant observation.

 

you think that it is not going to happend anymore? I doubt about it. Demons are now in full power.

 

Dropping atomic bombs on humans is never justified. Without Ngasaki and Hiroshima The Us would have to have fought out the war under normal rules of conflict.

And that doesn't take into account the generations of people in that area affected by our new marvelous arms of mass destruction.

Do we justify mass carnage in order to justify the profits of the war machines? When do we insist the madness end?

And we are spreading this crap into Europe under what justification? We are granting the Saudi's access to these weapons while trying to prevent other countries from protecting themselves. We have learned nothing!

 

...only some consider it madness...

 

Knowing of the destructive power of nukes won't necessarily save mankind. This assumes that everyone on earth is an empathetic, benevolent, individual. History and the present have proven otherwise. Those in power usually tend to be malevolent, disguised as being benevolent. As Al Capone once said, "You can get more with a nice word and a gun than you can with a nice word." - Call it punk/evil wisdom.

If anything, those in power recognized the effectiveness of these weapons. Both as a tool of destruction and as a means to instill fear.

But who will actually use these weapons?


One does not need to USE these weapons in order to benefit from them. Imagine the world as a western (Good, Bad, Ugly is a good example) and Iran, America, and Israel are a part of a duel. Who would have the upper hand? America has a gun, Israel has a gun, and Iran is empty handed. What should Iran do, and why would America allow them to have a gun? It takes power away from those in control. Those with the guns can call the shots, so it is important to ensure that their power remains by keeping all of the guns for themselves.


So, why should Iran be left without a gun? If they had a gun, would they even use it? I seriously doubt it. Going to war over a SUSPICION is simply irresponsible and only mirrors tyrannical governments of the past - How many corrupt governments can we think of believed in a preemptive strike? - Even if they DID somehow sneak a nuke under the radar (And that's IF they are even trying to obtain one), using it would spell out disaster for Iran... Not to mention whether or not the nuke would hit its target if it were used... There are so many methods for a country, especially one as advanced as Israel, to intersect a nuke. Either way, it would spell out doom for Iran.

I am looked at as a paranoid weirdo, yet people are so willing to accept a preemptive strike on Iran based merely on subjection of 'evidence.' I find that to be very odd (not directing this at any of you of course... well, maybe some).

"...only some consider it madness..."

People can consider anything as anything as they wish, but it doesn't make it true. There is such a thing as right and wrong. Applying logic, rationale, and intuition can help us to determine the difference.

"The final Revisionist claim is that Truman wanted to give the U.S. and edge in the coming Cold War by showing that he was not afraid to use these weapons of mass destruction." Threatening other nations with nukes isn't madness? Meh
