yes, I'm not for nuking anyone...at least, when I'm thinking rationally. After 9/11, I was very angry and made some statements to the effect that we should turn Afghanistan into a sheet of glass. But that was emotion speaking. Truth is that is such a terrible option, we have to try everything else first, including full scale ground war. I've visited Japan and saw the museums in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Believe me, the world needs to figure out a way not only to not engage in nuclear war, but to stop all those who are currently seeking the nuclear bomb. It is such a terrible weapon that no other nations, stable or unstable, should be allowed to have it. Iran, being a country with terribly crazy leaders, should definitely not be allowed to have it. However, using a nuke to prove our point would be untenable.
Anyway, none of that is going to happen with Iran. All this talk of Romney going to war with Iran is just a scare tactic. We have a lot of options besides that. |
