So was North Korea, it's still on the map. Pre-emptive strike against Iran? Could you even imagine what revelation this will cause and how it will destabilize the Middle East? How do you know that they are building nuclear weapons? Using the same intelligence that pointed the stick at Saddam? Even if they are building nuclear weapons, what capability will they have to attack the US? But hell, how do you even know that their nuclear weapons are of an offensive purpose? Do you even know how scared the average Iranian is of America? I saw a programme on BBC, where almost every single Iranian asked claimed that America wanted to attack Iran and destroy their values. If they are that scared, then the alleged weapons are probably for self defence, since the US would be more reluctant to go to war with a country which they know FOR SURE has nuclear weapons (North Korea comes to mind). Last but not least, the Iranian government seems stable, so what say does America have in Iranian domestic affairs? I don't care how much of a shithole Iran is, they can live by their own values, I simply don't give a rats ass if their women are repressed, they chose to be repressed when they let the 1979 revolution happen. If they want change the Iranians will launch another revolution. People will be herded like sheep by their leaders only if they let themselves be. |

Get a bunch of terrorist to work for shipping company and then use these people to sneak a nuke on. Then when it gets near a habour detonate the nuke. Sneak the nuke into Mexico and drive it up into a major city in Texas and detonate the nuke. PICK YOUR CHOICE! Quote:

They have been known to support terrorist organizations, but is this enough of a reason to start another war? Quote:

And if they do, they know that the response of the US will be of the same nature, only bigger. That would be like a suicide nuclear bombing. Who in their right mind would attack America with nuclear weapons? Quote:
How is Iran a theocratic dictatorship? They are an Islamic Republic, and follow Shariah law and have elections, as far as I know. I really couldn't be assed to give a **** about the failings of their democracy, and I am sure there is hell of a lot, but the fact still remains, that the Iranians are being governed how they want to be governed.

Iran (and Saudia Arabia) are the birth places of militant islam, a philosophy which worships death and is hell bent on the destruction of the west. Last edited by Praxus : 07-06-2004 at 22:21 PM. |

I agree Praxus, time to take out their reactor. Also was Egypt Air Flt 990 offically declared the result of terrorism? You also might want to look into Iran and TWA Flt 800 to that list as Iran could have been involved in the shootdown, although I belive it was Al Qaeda (dont say the plane wasent shot down, over 500 people saw a missile streaking towards the plane). I remember the night TWA 800 blew up, for some odd reason I looked out the window at the same time the plane blew up and I saw the bright flash of light to the west. Several family friends have said they saw a missle, along with hundreds of other people. I seem to have a premotion about terrorist attacks, I felt it the night TWA 800 blew up, and again before 9/11.

You're forgetting most obvious and easiest approach. The Israelis! The Israelis have trained for this mission hundreds of times already, can go at the drop of a hat, and will probably get the mission done too. All you need to do is support them this time instead of shunning and condemning them like Osirak.

To die in battle is an honourable way to die for a Moujahedin, not be nuked in a retaliatory strike. Quote:
However, last I heard, Saudi Arabia was an ally of the United States, so as long as Saudi oil keeps American cars moving the fact that it is the birthplace of militant Islam is irrelevant to the Bush Administration. Shows how much they really care about the "War against Terrorism" and the security of Americans like you. If it were me, the first thing I would do after attacks such as the 9/11, would be to nuke Saudi Arabia. PS: Islam is spelled with a capital "I". Last edited by s_qwert63 : 07-07-2004 at 07:52 AM. |
