(62,325 posts)story that has been told by the War Mongers for almost ten years now, and has been debunked by more than credible people over and over again.
But, frankly, if I were a MEastern, African or South or Central American country, I would look around the world and observe which countries ended up being attacked and invaded by Western powers, and I would notice that none of them had Nukes.
Otoh, N. Korea, a country named as part of the 'axis of evil' by the Bush gang, has never even been threatened with an invasion. So seeing how things are in the real world, the first thing on my list to protect my country from Imperial invasion, would be to acquire Nuclear Weapons. Gadaffi eg, was safe from invasion so long as they thought he had Nukes. As soon as he gave them up, look what happened.
I don't see Iran threatening this country. I see US threatening them, constantly. So, if they finally decide that NOT having nukes, doesn't stop the threats and lies, then to use an old Irish saying 'they may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb'.
Your scenario is completely without evidence of any kind other than the constant beating of the war drums for ten years now, by the PNAC gang whose policies are now US policies, to our detriment.
So no, I did not support invading Iran when Bush told the story you just told, and I will never support it. Because we are the aggressors here.
As far as giving nukes to terrorists, where is the evidence of that? Israel has nukes and has threatened to use them. Are you outraged over that? What should we do about THEM? Invade them too? Because if they do attack Iran with nukes, they will start WW111.
Don't you think maybe someone should be worried about that since 1) We know they have them and 2) They have stated their willingness to use them. Iran otoh, does not have them nor have they ever threatened to use them.
Seems odd to me that the focus would be on the country which does not have them and has not threatened to use them, while ignoring the country that does.
The only conclusion that can be reached from all this is that the 'nuke' claim is simply the Iran version of Iraq'w WMDs as an excuse to carry out the wet dream of the PNAC gang.
