I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
So when are we sending in the inspectors to check Israel for nukes?
Whatever happens I just hope other countries don't get involved. Neither one of these countries will be content until the other is nuked off the map.
Iran really isn't as hot on the whole "dying for some virgins" deal as a lot of other Muslims are. Indeed, to most of the Islamic world, Iran is often not even considered to be "real" Muslims. First off they're the largest bastion of Shi'a Islam in the whole #&$*$@! world, while most Muslims in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America are Sunni. Beyond that Iran also retains many of their historical dieties from when they were Persia, now downgraded to mythological heroes of their past. They also consider themselves the only remaining part of the Persain Empire.
Iran's not your typical Islamic crazies, though they've got their share.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
That still doesn't change the fact that you want innocent people to die without any thought of what that means.
What makes us better than an average animal if we choose to kill thousands of our own species? We are either superior to animals or we aren't. Up to this point we have shown that we aren't.
You do realize that Afghanistan was/is a safe haven and training grounds for terrorists... Saudi Arabia is not.
what should Saudi Arabia do, ban international travel?

Revenge doesn't need logic nor reason. That said, terrorism is a non-national deal, the fact that 15/19 guys were Saudi doesn't mean that 9/11 had Saudi support, it simply means that 15/19 disgruntled assholes who committed the attack came from Saudi Arabia. Terror networks don't care what country you're from, only that you want their same endgame...same reason we picked up guys like Werner Von Braun. We don't care, they don't care. If you have the knowhow or desire to blow shit up, you're in.
I don't know if the Saudi royalty supported 9/11, but we do know that terror networks in Afghanistan did. So go after the targets that are reasonable and findable. Deal with the Saudi's later.
Basically THIS. The only reason we're attempting to deny Iran nukes is because we don't like them. They have the same sovereign right to develop nukes just like any other nation does.

This stereotype is even more false than the one you claim is pure propaganda. There is no reason for Iran to get nuclear weapons, they should put the money in education and maybe buy civil rights, they need those badly.. And the fact that other countries have them is no reason to get them. Or they are afraid the arab spring movement reach their land too? Well it should.

Does that not show the true nature of Humans then? If people "simply don't care" how can we ever stop war? How can we ever expect to make it as a species?
It doesn't matter if we can some day travel through space if we end up killing ourselves off before we get to that point.
I know it isn't easy to just stop, I'm not a fool. But if people "simply don't care" then it will never stop.
