Hello Allen....."Of course not, if we can help it. Nobody is suggesting that we should take no action to try to prevent our enemies from arming themselves with nukes. But that doesn't mean that attacking a country that hasn't attacked us is moral, justifiable, or wise."..... I like most in this part of the world was taught morals as part of my upbringing and it is a very difficult thing to try to change. Our enemy..I refer here to radical islam....IMO uses the fact that we are moral nations for the most part and like to do things in a fair manner as a weapon against us. Our enemies however have no such hang ups as is plain for anyone to understand who has watched homicide bombings. beheadings of innocent people, rapes, murders and ownership of other human beings....women and girls and still as I understand slaves still exist in the world of islam. ..."Justifiable".... I really don't know. But is it justifiable to do nothing and let a radical islam led country acquire nukes and the means to deliver them to our lands as they have said they would do. Should the USA take that chance and permit a country led by radical islamic leaders to become even more powerful to a point where they can do serious damage to the USA and other free non islamic countries. Would weaker countries give in to a nuke threat from a radical islamic country? And what would happen to Europe who now has a huge radical islam population now. As for being wise..... I guess history will tell if it was wise to do nothing but if the free countries decide to stop the iran mullas history will say it was a wise thing. IMO ...."Even if you aren't worried about the morality question, there is the much larger question of whether pursuing the policy of "pre-emptive defense" is wise. Will it really work? Will it make us more secure to keep jabbing at every ghost we think we see? Or will it instead have the effect of turning more people against us, since to them we look more and more like aggressors?".... Allen.... on 9/11 islamic radicals attacked the United States of America without provocation and still many on this continent worry about being seen as the aggressor when we go after them in their lands...even when we are murdered by the enemy we want to come across as the good guys. Like I said radical islam does not have this hangup. I watched not long ago as millions upon millions of radical muslims rioted and killed over some stupid cartoons and calling for death to the USA...the USA had nothing to do with these cartoons yet the hatred was there as it always has been for hundreds of years. IMO the problem is not the USA or what they may do to protect America and her citizens. The problem is RADICAL ISLAM and has been for many many years. And if the USA does nothing and lets the mullas of Iran become more powerful and allows them to acquire nukes which are used against American citizens....what then?
