I'm puzzled over the worldwide WMD issue (Iran in particular...)

[karlrschneider]

I'm going on memory here, so might be a little off, but don't the following all have nukes?: UK, France, Israel, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, NK...and -maybe- Brazil, Iran, Germany (?)...did I go way wrong here?

In any case, how, exactly do WE (oh, I forgot to list USA...sheesh) get the "right" to determine which OTHER countries are allowed to have them? Especially in light of the fact that we are the only country to have ever -used- them? I just don't get it...

2. If you have oil... and if your national religion is wrong, you can't have

them. </sarcasm>

3. Target the Islamists and kill 2 birds w/one stone, so say the fundies

4. Let's get Sy Hersch, the CIA leakers, +FBI whistleblowers together and get

rid of this admin with one Oliver Stone.... heh heh heh.....

5. Britain, France, Germany, and China have too much at stake in Iran.

They'll get royally pissed off if the U.S. pulls another fast one on them.

On top of that Iran is three times bigger in population than Iraq, hasn't been worn down by a decade of embargos and has those sexy sunburn missiles. They are made to defeat AEGIS and PHALYNX and sink U.S. carriers.

6. I think that if you don't have nukes you're not supposed to make them.

7. Should I be filling sandbags,

or does the fact that the UK has no oil make us safe from Team America - World's Police?

8. But you DO have oil!

In the North Sea. Not much left there now, but don't even consider holding back on us, bub. ;)
