You don't have two standards for foreign and domestic individuals, and it doesn't make sense that you would have two standards for domestic individuals and foreign nations. Of all the countries in the world, we're the only one that's used nuclear weapons, so arguably, doesn't that make us more likely to use them in the future? <BR/><BR/>Iran has stated that they don't intend to use their enriched uranium to make weapons, and of the two national's leaders, their leader's statements haven't been shown to be false or misleading to us over the last three years. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, I'm more willing to believe that Ahmadenijad is aware of the concept of mutually assured destruction, that any nuclear strike by them will result in the devastation of his entire country, and I think his statements, if pressed, will be similar to Kruschev circa 1961.<BR/><BR/>Iran has not attacked us. Attacking them so that they don't attack someone else, who they haven't attacked, is wrong, no matter how much they say they want to attack. Until it happens, it hasn't happened.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148864091827107809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1145145991627959282006-04-15T18:06:00.000-06:002006-04-15T18:06:00.000-06:00Perhaps some of it has to do with the scale of har...Perhaps some of it has to do with the scale of harm. A bank robbery is bad, but a nuclear strike against a country is apocalyptic. The first you hope won't happen, but will deal with if it does happen. The second, I think, you can't let happen if you know there is a credible threat that it will happen. Iran is making increasingly credible threats.Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692907969177893526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1145136954864762972006-04-15T15:35:00.000-06:002006-04-15T15:35:00.000-06:00Hm.

We could have Ty Pennington put up simple shacks out in Wyoming and surround the properties with razor wire. <BR/>Think of the possibilities ... the show could be called "Extreme Prison Makeover" ... or "Extreme Political Buffoonery" or something along those lines. <BR/><BR/>:)Weary Haghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809105824011470783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1145121276608171082006-04-15T11:14:00.000-06:002006-04-15T11:14:00.000-06:00No, silly woman!I am saying we should arrest ALL p...No, silly woman!<BR/><BR/>I am saying we should arrest ALL people worldwide to prevent illegal immigration.
