Another Iranian Nuclear Scientist Assassinated

[DeathToTheOil]

Fifth...

1. "another" as opposed to the one in all those other threads today? nt

[TigerToMany]

2. It's their own fault

I hate to sound crass, but even if Mossad did it like the Iranian claims, Iran is bringing this on themselves by their aggressive posturing and threats to wipe "Israel off the map".

3. If we responed like this to every threat we get from nations who hate us..

it would be non-stop killing. BTW, welcome to DU.

4. Mossad/CIA is basically doing what any country with the means to do so, would do.

I'm not saying that it is necessarily right to go in and kill someone, but if there were no nuclear program in the first place then there wouldn't be a need for an assasination.

5. Why do we or Israel have the right to determine who and who doesnt have nukes?

7. Iran made that decision for itself when it joined the IAEA and NPT

Iran promised not to develop nuclear weapon technology and to allow intrusive inspections to verify that.

They've been violating their agreements, they've been breaking their promises, and now they're saying they will go to war instead of keeping their promise not to develop nuclear weapons.

If they're not going to abide by their agreements, then fuck 'em, we've given them the benefit of the doubt for years and they're just playing games.

6. and if there were no WMDs in Iraq then there would be no need for a war.

right?

8. Does Israel have nukes? n/t

9. Nobody in Iran has threatened to wipe "Israel off the map"

This error (now lie) has been repeated numerous times in the media, and is never corrected. Ahmadinejad was essentially calling for a regime change: meaning a government that treats all of its citizens equally.

Iran is the country that has been severely been harmed by foreign influence and atrocities. What's been done to Iran's scientists is just cold-blooded murder. Iran is no threat, but whoever did this to Iran certainly is a big threat. Iran has only "threatened" to defend itself.
