Nuclear Iran

[Bender1968]

There's just one problem with that, and it doesn't exactly help with the nuclear proliferation problem. US isn't complying with the treaty, how do you want to enforce the treaty to anyone else?

That's the problem right there, there's money to be made.  That's why Russia really does it too.  That still doesn't mean I agree that we should be shipping this stuff out.  The sad part is I could something happening here, the citizen's get mad and we find out that it originated in the US.

You seem to speak trough experience x)

When I got home from signing up for selective service(the list that's used in case of a draft) I turned on the TV to find out we sent 18 F-111's to Lybia.  No lie.

Well, I was speaking about the nuking. But yes, that and the Tomcat to Iran, luckily they couldn't use it, but they made a good plane out of it.

I think this article brings up some interesting points against the current US policy of containment of Iran through the threat of force, backed by a Middle East alliance.  The problem of balancing the Sunni and Shiite elements in the region has been made pretty clear by our adventures in Iraq, and the situation is even more complicated than sectarian divisions.

That was a great article!!! It is true too, Bush's administration really doesn't seem to understand the middle east at all.
