Do you guys want Iran to have a nuclear arsenal?

Why not? Every other great power has them. Mutually Assured Destruction, man. The Persian people don't give a shit about war, they find foreigners to be exotic.

Do you guys want Iran to have a nuclear arsenal?

Nope. I'm for promoting a world with less nukes.

Do you guys want Iran to have a nuclear arsenal?

Not about what we want. It's about them governing themselves. If they, as a sovereign nation want nukes, that's their prerogative.

The Cold War was far different. Iran wouldn't survive on its own today if it threatened anybody with nuclear war. Globalization is making us head for a planetary system, and I hope soon. War amongst ourselves will be a thing of the past by then.

You seriously believe that will happen? That doesn't matter, however Iran is not a stable government in the least and no matter how Pakistan somehow manages to keep it together there's serious concerns that Iran can safe guard such devices. Hasn't any one heard of a group of individuals under the classification of "terrorist". They don't care about war or MAD.

Because they're historically linked. It's like Arab and Muslim. Not the same, but have been together for a long time.

But is that necessarily a good thing? I'm half Jewish, and I don't identify as a Zionist. I also happen to know a Coptic Christian from Egypt, who obviously isn't a Muslim. Of course, I understand that it is realistic to assume most Jews are Zionists, and most Arabs are Muslim. So I guess there really isn't a point complaining about such things.

Welcome to the party pal

Who are we to tell them no? It's their country.

I agree, if other countries have nukes (and a lot do), why not Iran? I just hope that if they do choose to make nukes, and get sanctioned for it, they don't whine.

Wait a minute... how can you say if they want them they can have them and then sanction them for it? I thought it was their country?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A carpenter has been fired for freeing a raccoon that had been trapped by exterminators at the San Francisco construction site where he worked.

WHAT?!

Wow. I thought he had jumped into a poison gas tarped building to get the racoon... but it seems that his boss really wanted to kill that racoon instead. Well that's how it goes. Would be funny if that racoon was a plague carrying zombie racoon and he just released it into the wild to breed.

[DoomRulz]

It's an absurd punishment. Killing the animal just because it's an inconvenience? That's sickening.

I'm not saying they should be sanctioned, I'm just saying that if they end up being sanctioned, they shouldn't complain.
