Because Iran cant be trusted with Nuclear Weapons. And they say its for energy purposes when really I think its for other purposes rather then energy purposes. But yes, the world can just sit by and wait for somthing bad to happen rather then just stop it from happening. And when it does happen dont blame Bush.

    This reminds me of that documentary film. What was it called? Hiroshima. Where they were discussing wither we should drop the bomb on Japan to end the war. If we didnt drop the bomb, not so many countries would wanting to have nuclear weapons, including Russia. By not dropping the bomb, it could've prevented from the conflicts of today. There probably would've never been a cold war. Hell, even the USA would be the only country in the world to have the Nuclear Bomb! But who knows, that's history, and what happened, happened.

    And I'll say this, that in a lifetime of ours. The hydrogene engine will be finished and we will have no more dependance on foreign oil. And the rich middle eastern countries, and the countries we get the oil from, will be poorer, since we no longer buy there oil. No more money to terrorists! Yay. That's all I have to say bout' this.


    Yeah, besides liberating Iraq. And the war on terror. I think as a American citizen we should help Africa with the AIDs emergency that is happening down there. We should do good things. Why not help Africa? Lots of people are dieing because of this disease. Hell, you know oil pipelines? Why not make water pipelines go over there so the land gets irrigated! Like the only major river over there is the Nile river. And I'm sure this would work! Just think about the rivers in the USA, like for example. The Columbian river here in Washington flows right out into the pacific ocean. Fresh water, going put to waste. Why make a pipe line damnit! And also whats happening in Sudan, the genocide that is happening, just like what happened years ago in the late 1990s' with Rwanda.People are dieing just because of there religious beliefs and there race. We should help them!


    Well enough me blaabbering, I got carried a way. Sorry bout that.
    So in other words, Arabs are all terrorist, there are no terrorist in any other countries, meaning the terrorist that have been here and protected IN AMERICA don't exsist, and its our right to tell others what they can and can't have, yet our whole god damn ethical system revolves around the opposite of that? Gotcha.

    This is the plastic age after all.

    It starts making you think of the terrorists in a new light.

    Blowing up a mako reacter? 911. In both innocent people were killed.
    Trying to save all the Mako energy and keep it from being used up. Fighting the US
    Evil company? They think the US is evil.

    LoL thanks for the beautiful FFVIII analogy. The war is not only oil, which is essential for being number 1 in the world, but also corporate lust. Halliburton and other corporations are making tons and tons of money off the war in Iraq.

    And those "private contractors" are actually mercenaries working for such corporations. In fact much of the "American" army there is just mercenaries. If we didn't have them there would be a draft by now.

    No, they're decent people, trying to make a living. They also improve the infra-structure and general conditions in such places... but the Iraqies wouldn't have that, would they?

    fact much of the "American" army there is just mercenaries.
    The American army consists of paid men and women. Not mercenaries - they work and get paid by a goverment. In dire situations, people are drafted (whether they like it or not)... but I think the last time that happened, was during the war in Vietnam.

    Private contractors are indeed mercenaries and operate within their own individual PMC's, which are more often than not working under various corporations. If you want to read more on it just enter "private contractors" and "mercenaries" in any search engine.

    And actually much of the fighting force in Iraq is not even American citizens. They agree to fight in return for such things as citizenship and whatnot.

    Just because I say a country cant have nukes doesnt mean I'm saying all Arabs are terrorist. I have Arab friends by the way. What I meant was a country as hostile as Iran shouldn't have nukes, we dont want another North Korea. We also dont want alot of countries arming themselves with nuclear weapons. Can you imagine if every other country was armed with them, and there was a world war?Apocalypse.

    It's nice that the only country ever to drop nuclear weapons on civilian targets has the high moral fibre to make sure no other countries in the world have the capability to do so .

    I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.
