It doesn't matter how easy the argument is to defeat. As long as you're vague enough, you can trick millions of people into thinking Iran is making bombs.Quote:

It's kinda funny how all of their nuclear scientists are being killed and the West pretends not to know anything about it.
Lol. Iknorite?Quote:

That article was literally 4 pages of rampant speculation from every side. Still interesting that it hasn't been on the news and yeah I agree, you guys are heading to Iran next, hopefully alone.
Never mind lol just walked to the living room and my dad said it was on the news just then lol
Just imagine how the US would react if American nuclear scientists kept being killed on home soil.
It can't think of anybody who would follow the US into war this time.
Edit: Not a foreign aggressor, not a foreign aggressor...

Considering all the shit Obama's done so far, I wouldn't put it past him to be the one that ordered the assassination of Iranian Scientists. He's a discrete sort of bastard. While the Republicans are all beating their war drums he'd rather handle everything with SEAL teams and predator drones.
*sigh* so much for Obamas change. Well, I suppose we did change from Iraq to Iran...I mean...cant let that persian empire return and all that.
Of course, I didnt buy in to Obama's hype anyway...why cant the people get it through their skulls to vote for someone who will focus on our home issues and economy before other countries?
I think you might have to re-read your post, tkdyo, to see the underlying point. The lesson to be learned here is that it doesn't matter what our politicians say, before they get into office, they usually end up following their own agenda, once they make President.Quote:

Iran isn't really hurting for energy resources enough to need nuclear reactors. It has fourth largest oil and second largest natural gas reserves in the world. It exports oil. In addition, it's in the middle of the desert -- it could pop up solar power if it wanted to.Quote:

So this brings us to nuclear energy. Why is Iran making nuclear power if it really doesn't "need" it? This leads me to conclude that Iran probably actually IS pursuing another cause, which is nuclear weapons.
If Iran actually WAS taking the higher road of using the nuclear reactors for only energy, then Iran could very easily say, "hey, United Nations, come take a look at our energy plants! Look at what we've done with solar, hydroelectric, coal, oil, wind, -- as well as nuclear plants. Look at how we're addressing the problems of the nuclear waste from the nuclear plants. We're following global safety standards, and we'd be happy to have global safety inspectors come visit us! In fact, we'd be happy to have feedback from other nations to improve our power plants to address some of our issues and concerns."
But Iran isn't doing that, obviously. And that has me concerned.
You are concerned because Iran might be developing nuclear weapons and yet Israel
1. Refuses to sign nuclear non-proliferation treaty
2. was shown to have amuggled nuclear triggers out of the united states
3. Most likely has fully functional nuclear weapons but won't confirm or deny
4. Is aggresively hostile towards its neighbors and is occupying a foreign state
5. Is engaging in naziesque deportations of brown people and their leaders are making public statements like "Israel is only for the white man"
You are only concerned about Iran because your government and the media wants you to be concerned about iran. You are being lead like a puppet on a string.
Although your post was not directed towards me, I do feel a strong urge to reply. You are dead wrong when you think the issue here is with the media. I felt that Iran was a threat many years ago when you wouldn't hear anything negative about it on TV!Quote:

Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons, but Israel does NOT have a desire to spread jihad. Israel also does NOT want Sharia law (islamic law) to rule the world.
There is a big difference between the two!
I agreeQuote:
