Reply #10: Do you think a nation would commit suicide? We have 10,000 warheads

While their might be stateless groups of suicide bombers, if Iran or any country gets a few dozen nukes, they know that at best they would get off one or two lucky shots before we wiped them off the map.

They would also know that if they gave nukes to terrorists that use them here, the result would be the same since our oil companies have such a hard on for them.

People sitting on trillions of dollars generally don't commit suicide, which is why Saddam was no threat to us either. If he had what we said, he knew it would have been insane to use it. Even George Tenet was forced to admit this before the war. And as rotten as Saddam was, he asked our permission before attacking Iran AND Kuwait.

Proliferation of weapons is a problem and I don't even like the idea of building more nuclear power plants because of the waste issue alone. I am not for unilateral disarmament or reduction beyond a minimum deterrent level although that could be quite a bit lower than what we have now.


But the solution is not to invade Iran, kill a lot of Iranians, get our troops killed, steal their oil, and set up a puppet government. That creates enemies and actually increases the likelihood that someone will think they have nothing to lose by attacking us.
