USA can make bombs, drop them on innocent people and kill thousands of them, but if Iran even attempts to make one, it will be invaded.

that is called double standard

Or perhaps it is called "learning from past mistakes".

Case in point Alfred Nobel.

Once again, "two wrongs don't make a right."

Besides, your anti-US, pro-Ahmadinejihad sentiments (as well as my responses - admittedly) are off topic.


Your thinking is being limited to for and against. Poor performance, sir, poor performance.

Pointing to the obvious hypocrisy in US/UK/French etc etc foreign policy doesn't mean one supports the 'enemy'. It just means we see through the jingoistic lies and rhetoric. The same goes for Iranian bluster and propaganda. Both utter rubbish. Most of us would rather just get on with our lives both Westerner and Iranian.

 From Iran's perspective getting a nuke is a defensive mechanism that works. Iraq no WMD = invaded;  North Korea some WMD = not invaded. In summary, US foreign policy says 'get a nuke'

Idiotic.

Wrong!

There is such fallacious assumption as "black and white thinking," but that is not the case here.  My stance remains that - while use of nuclear weapons is wrong - no good will come from more countries having access to the technology.  As for my wording, it succeeded in illiciting clarification by the poster (see below), and such served its purpose.

Furthermore, saying that Iran is after nuclear weapons for purely defensive reasons is conjecture of the highest order.  The principles of M.A.D. which kept the "superpowers" in check would not be in effect for Iran against the U.S.A.  Against Israel?  That is another matter.  I would hope and pray that we would never see a nuclear exchange between those two countries, but I am not convinced that - one way or another - such an exchange is unlikely. 

The utter arrogence of your post is staggering!  YOU and you alone see through rhetoric.  I suppose that my old fashioned "two wrongs don't make a right," belief is far too practical for sophisticated people such as yourself.  Far be it for you to actually READ the post and comprehend the message behind it.  Even if the western government platform against nuclear proliferation is for purely selfish reasons (as you suggest), the results of that policy are not inherently bad for humanity.  In fact, the fewer nuclear arsenals we have around the world, the better - including those nations that already have stockpiles.
