Is a nuclear Pakistan acceptable? Is a nuclear India acceptable? Is a nuclear North Korea acceptable? Is a nuclear Israel acceptable?
It is not the best choice, but it is better than a futile war to stop it.

But the NPT alows for it and I'm a stickler for international law. If a nuclear America is acceptable, a nuclear Russia is even more unacceptable.

4. What does "Nuclear Iran" mean? |
|
That they have nuclear weapons? Nuclear power? Nuclear families? Atoms that have nuclei?

Edited on Sat Jan-06-07 08:34 PM by havocmom
pretty well showed the world that any leaders really serious about protecting their nations need to anty-up whatever the arms merchants charge and get nukes.

6. It's not acceptable, but the fact is using force to resolve it is going to make things a lot worse. |
|
If I had my way, the world would be destroying nuclear stockpiles, not building more of them.

12. I voted yes, but would like to qualify my answer this way: A nuclear Iran is |
|
acceptable as long as we have mad men and war profiteers running the US and Israel.
I don't think Iran has any choice, given the threats that have been hurled against them. And I actually think that the mullahs of Iran are saner than the Bush Junta and than Israel's rightwing, and would not use them. I think they need them for security. They are very vulnerable, and have no reason to trust us--none! The US, the UK and Israel desroyed Iran's democracy in 1954, and inflicted the Iranian people with 25 years of torture and repression under the horrible Shah of Iran. WE drove them into the arms of the mullahs. They were--and I think still are--the most potentially progressive society among Israel's neighbors--and we keep fucking them over, and demonizing them, and blaming the people of Iran for firebrand statements of one leader, who just LOST the elections. We need to understand that they are SCARED.

I trust the US I don't trust Iran. Of course I am also in the military so I see things differently.

24. I'm not in the military, but I agree. Iran's medieval government would be too dangerous w/ them. |
|
Of course I'd say the same about Stalin's Russia. It may well be that a nuclear Iran is just one of those unacceptable things we may have to live with, like child abuse in our community, Bush leaving office without doing jail time, or a nuclear North Korea.

If Iran is deceiving us and we find out what do we do? It's not a hard question.

If that's what you mean, I'm a yes vote. If you mean weapons, I don't think any nation should have them.
