Wouldn't Russia be justified under the Bush
Doctrine to make a preemptive strike on the US if Sarah Palin becomes President? I would like to see Puty Put or Gorbachev weigh in on this.

1. I posted about that possibility last night...
It sure seems like they could. And they'd justify it by saying they were freeing Americans of a cruel dictatorship.

2. I guess that Bush Doctrine only applies to the US
since Iran could have made a preemptive strike on us already if it applied to others..

3. Well we've got god on our side.
Those commies don't have any god, and the Iranians' god is the wrong one.

4. Its a good point....I've also never understood why certain
"good" countries could have nukes, but "bad" countries couldn't. Those adjectives are in the eyes of the beholder. I guess that's where Might makes Right comes in.:sarcasm:

5. I fully agree.
The fact that I wish certain countries didn't have nukes doesn't mean they shouldn't have the same right to them as any other country.

Right now, to be perfectly honest, I really wish we didn't have them.

If only we could deactivate them when somebody stupid gets into the WH.
