| What if Iran acquires nuclear weapons? |
| 2006-08-29 |
when dealing with a possible strike from a single weapon, or at most a mere handful of weapons, the logic of the fallout shelter is compelling. WeÂ’re going to need to be able to evacuate our cities in the event of a direct attack, or to avoid radiation plumes from cities that have already been struck. Tens or hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved by such measures...With Americans building fallout shelters, running evacuation drills, and otherwise preparing for a terrorist nuclear strike, dovishness wonÂ’t even be an option. Our political choices will probably be of two types. Exactly how hawkish shall we be, and how shall we shape our alliances?...The lesson is that we face two choices: preemptive war with Iran, or a nightmare world on the brink of nuclear war and nuclear terror for the foreseeable future. Anyway you slice it, the doves are doomed. Unfortunately, so may we be all. Ready or not...duck and cover! |

| #4 It is not a question of if Iran will have Nukes. The question of the day is when will they have them and when will they have the means to deliver them to the US? God I hate going into the defence. We should be on the attack, right now and measure the attack in megatons!!!! JQC and JM are right on this, as far as JM goes, I wish .com was here to expain it to me. LOL |

| #3 Nuclear development in Iran is not about generating power. Iran sits on some of the world's largest oil reserves. The nuclear option is about weapon development and Iran throwing its weight around in the |

| #2 Its not a question if if. Its when. I read an article yesterday (could have been here -curse my lack of a short term memory) which made the claim this is actually the begining of the age of proliferation. Within the next 20 years Turkey, Egypt, Syria, and a host of others in the ME will follow Iran down this road. The MAD deterent will dies when Muslims get the bomb, the Soviets were alot of things but suicidal by religon wasn't one of them. Unfortunately not many are willing to recognize the current clash of civilizations as such and won't until the US or Europe losses a city. |

| #1 The Failed/Angry Left has already reserved its unilateral right to resort to any means necessary, including but not limited to mutually destructive nuclear war and othwer anarchies, iff America fails to adopt Socialism and become suborned under OWG. THE LEFT GAVE ITSELF AND ONLY ITSELF THAT UNILATERAL RIGHT AND PRIVELEGE = THE RIGHT NOR CENTER NOR ANYONE ELSE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME. The Chicom/Commie plan to exterminate 200Milyuhn or more Americans = Amerikans does NOT distinguish between US Lefty vs US Righty vs US Moder-Independent, ONLY WHOM IS CHINESE vs WHOM IS AMERICAN, WHOM IS A COMMUNIST vs WHOM IS NOT A COMMUNIST!? THE WOT = WAR FOR OWG = WAR FOR CONTROL OF THE WHOLE WORLD, NOY JUST A PART(S) OF IT. The issue is no longer whether to fight a nuclear war becuz the Failed/Angry Lefties and aligned/proxies have already answered that question - the issue is whether to do what is right and to fight/ defend/protect our beliefs and way of life. THE LEFTS WANT POWER AND CONTROL - UNILATERAL AND UNCONDITIONAL, UNRESTRICTED UNDENIABLE and UNCHALLENGEABLE. WHY FEAR NUKE WAR AGAINST AN ENEMY(S) THATS GONNA DESTROY YOU ANYWAYS??? |
