Iran nuclear program... a "new provocation"
July 23, 2011 at 1:57 pm
I honestly do not believe the hype. That Iran is openly creating a nuclear program (or at least, trying to), so that they may bomb us all to third world status. Anyhow, take from this what you will:
The Story
All that I know is that there is more to this ordeal than what is readily apparent -- there always is.

If Iran's objective is to reduce America to 3rd World Status, they need not do anything. We're taking care of that ourselves.

The US and its allies can have any kind of weaponry. Nuclear or not. That does not threaten the world peace at all, it makes us 'feel safe'!On the other side though, Iran, i really doubt, is not exactly on a peaceful mission with their nuclear program. They've tested many missiles recently, successfully, most of them. Its quite evident that Iran is tryin to be a powerful nation. But it has every right to do anything on its soil. Why does America still plays the world police role?

Iran is an inefficient, crappy nation in my opinion. However, I agree that they have a right to build alternative energy. This could have something to do with oil (the US needs nations in the middle east sans-Israel to be crippled, so grabbing the dwindling oil is easier), or Israel decided to assassinate someone. The U.S. and Israel are narcissistic states who believe it is their right to take action against others, regardless of the consequences. The policing is only a symptom of the disorder. I am glad that people in the U.S. are waking up to the fact (rather slowly) that all of this policing and war kills our supply of resources. And it always has the potential to propagate the issue by creating enemies for the future.

Yes, but I was referring to the fear tactics employed by politicians and talking heads. They claim that Iran wants to bomb us. If we do not spiral down to a realistic dystopia, then we will at least be broken indefinitely. The choices made in the past, coupled by an inherent lack of leadership, are really biting us hard.

The crappy inefficient Iranian mullah-cracy contrived to build a secondary education system in Iran which convinced a higher percentage of Iranian youth of the factual basis of Darwinian evolution than the education system of the land of the Pentecostal hucksters and evangelical con man.

So you would rather live there? Go for it.

Nuclear weapons are a waste anyhow. It is used for threatening purposes, and wars continue to ensue.
I honestly think that Iran is trying to find better ways of generating energy. This could have been an Israeli hit, since they want to have the biggest dick (nuclear weaponry) in the Middle East.

Its possible. Maybe they're only trying to get a new source of energy after all. That'll be good then. But i doubt even if thats the truth, The US will accept it. Remember Iraq. Weapons of mass destruction? They didn't even get a match box.

A waste? Are you kidding?
Nuclear missiles was how my race fended off our early war with the Gatling Laser equipped Klackon warships.
And really... I can't wait until Israel is back within hands that can defend it. Not because I give a shit about the country.... but because nothing ever comes of its being there.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
