So what if we go into Iran and find...no nukes?
To paraphrase Michael Moore, would the world ever trust us again?

1. I'm sure Rumsfeld would say

something like "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".

2. He'll claim they were smuggled out...
Into Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, or Pakistan - take your pick. Probably the country that would be easiest for us to invade.

3. They'll claim it's all about spreading "democracy" and "freedom"..
Haven't we gone through this before?

4. There's just one teensy-weensy problem with that
Iran already has freedom and democracy! They're the ones who elected the current hardliner they have in office!

Oh wait - you meant freedom and democracy American style. My bad.

6. Yes, get it right -
They may be able to freely elect their officials, and enjoy basic life but until we, America, have the ability to appoint leaders to high office, control the oil profits, and look out for the interests of America rather then Iran (all while dropping bombs on the country), it's not real democracy!

;)

5. Has Iran denied they have nukes or would build them?
What if we went into Israel and found nukes? We know they have them as does Pakistan and India so why not Iran?

8. Rule of thumb is no one has nukes until they test one
Israel, Pakistan, and India have all tested them. Iran has not.

10. Funny, I don't recall us ever threatening Pakistan or India...
...and those two countries are much more likely to use their weapons against each other if the shit should hit the fan.

Why does the Gopher King insist on threatening countries we suspect of developing nukes? Sorry - rhetorical question.

7. The NOC of Brewster-Jennings Associates has been destroyed.
That 'roadblock' against planting faked evidence of WMD is gone. Who'll blow the whistle now?

9. The only way we will go into Iran is by first leveling the country with
Edited on Mon Jan-02-06 11:00 AM by Toots
missles and air strikes and quite possibly Nukes. They will call them tactical nukes but they will still be nuclear weapons and a great many people will die and we will say it is impossible to find their nukes because our nukes covered up the trace but we are all safer now so go back to0 sleep and I think another White girl is missing somewhere...
