"We will not allow Iran to have Nuclear Weapons"

[BOSSHOG]

- We will not allow women to control their own body
- We will not allow people we hate to get married
- We will not allow social security to continue
- We will not allow stem cell research
- We will not allow our Soldiers to hear views different from ours
- We will not allow the presidents crimes to be investigated

Who says republicans don't have ideas?!?

[Skinner]

1. Er. Um.

I can't say I'm real eager for Iran to have nuclear weapons. Does that make me a bigot?

[BOSSHOG]

5. I would like for their to be no nuclear weapons on the planet

I don't believe you are a bigot; you take money from all of us regardless of race, creed, color or sex. You are an equal opportunity accepter.

However, thanks to "conservative" politicians in America Iran and North Korea want the weapon. I say we negotiate till the cows come home on such issues. That is hard work; bush and his gang of criminals would rather rattle sabres.

6. Not at all...

But coming from Cheney, who sold Iran nuclear technology when he was with Halliburton...it was a pretty hypocrital thing to say...

11. Iran's euro-denominated oil bourse

Long article, excert below, about oil sales in Euros instead of dollars.( I
thought I had heard of something like this before about a motive for
invading Iraq having to do with a currency issue.)

Iran's euro-denominated oil bourse to open in March: US Dollar Crisis on the
Horizon
by William R. Clark

February 10, 2006
"The question remains: Why would the Vice President advocate a possible
tactical nuclear attack against Iran in the event of another major terrorist
attack against the US ... even if Tehran was innocent of involvement?

Perhaps one of the answers relates to the same obfuscated reasons why the US
launched an unprovoked invasion to topple the Iraq government ...
macroeconomics and the desperate desire to maintain US economic supremacy.

In essence, petrodollar hegemony is eroding, which will ultimately force the
US to significantly change its current tax, debt, trade, and energy
policies, all of which are severely unbalanced. World oil production is
reportedly "flat out," and yet the neoconservatives are apparently willing
to undertake huge strategic and tactical risks in the Persian Gulf. Why?
Quite simply ... their stated goal is US global domination ... at any cost."

7. No not at all and neither am I, but

who are "they" to say?
Seems that we could do with a few less as well...

[RoBear]

9. Me neither.

The whole idea is scary as hell. But who gives us the right to determine who gets 'em and who doesn't? Who made us master of the universe?????

[Dhalgren]

10. How many people would you kill to stop Iran from becoming a

nuclear power? That is the question; not whether you favor it or not. We all, if put to the task, could decide how to arrange the world, but would we kill whole populations to do it?

[Skinner]

12. That's a false choice.

There are people who would have us believe that the choice is between 1) doing nothing and letting Iran having nuclear weapons, or 2) invading Iran so they won't. But IMHO, that doesn't include the full range of options available to the US or to the international community.

Believe me, I'm not defending the Bush Administration. Their own actions have contributed greatly to Iran's desire to get nukes. And sadly, any effort they make to address the possibility has zero credibility and zero moral authority.

[Dhalgren]

14. It isn't a "false choice" to the Bush administration - it is the only

choice they present. And that is the point. As far as this country's "leadership" is concerned either Iran gives up nuclear power or we "punish" them (whatever rosie spin one might wish to use to define 'punish'). Of course rational, sane human beings can find other ways of addressing any legitimate concerns, but we are not going to be given that opportunity. Russia and Iran are now in talks about ways to deal with Iran's legitimate nuclear power designs and quell the fear being exaggerated by the Bush regime and it allies. I am not saying that nuclear proliferation is not something to be justly concerned about, but the fear-mongering of the Bush gang is over the top and should be recognized as so.

With Bush, "collateral damage" is ALWAYS a sure bet...

2. They will let AT&T re-create their old monopoly and cut 10,000 jobs

It's the republican way.

3. Welcome to the new dark ages

Grab your thumbscrews and we'll torture some more folks on our way to burn the libraries.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

4. we will not allow Americans to run our ports

we will not allow for humane treatment of war prisoners

[Sensitivity]

8. neo-imperialism defined

[Rocknrule]

13. Because we all know * is the only man who can be trusted with nukes
