It's a sick sonuvabitch that even talks about bombing another nation...

[kentuck]

...with a nuclear weapon, in my humble opinion.

Whether or not they intend to bomb Iran, but to simply discuss it as an option, is a sick part of our humanity. Such devastating weapons should never be discussed as a trivial matter. It could lead to the extinction of mankind. It is a horrible thought.

Only the insane would discuss it as an option to replace diplomacy and dialogue. We survived the Cold War with tens of thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at us because we understood how deadly they are and how we would be destroyed in a "mutually assured destruction" if we were to decide to drop the bomb first. Is the world more dangerous now than then?

1. You are absolutely right.

The idea that these idiots in charge would even bring up the idea of releasing this Pandora's Box upon the world is truly frightening. It is also a fine example that these "people" will do anything to stay in power.

The shrub cabal did not listen before Iraq and they won't listen now. I am hoping and praying that cooler heads will prevail.

I never believed in my lifetime that we would experience anything like we are seeing today. These fascist fuckers have no regard for human life; they kill without blinking an eye.

Shrub is truly a mad man.

2. That's our Bush administration

The utter depravity and immorality even to consider using nuclear weapons, especially against a nation and a population that doesn't have them, is a crime against humanity. I don't know what kind of person would support such an insane notion.

3. Is the world more dangerous now than then?

That is a very good question.All the modern ways of communicating and all the technological advances and here we are.No better off morally.No compassion.Well,not none.Just not enough.Not enough for us to have any pride in our other accomplishments.What good is it to gain the world,if we lose our soul.It's hard to be optimistic that humanity will prevail,yet we must.

4. Makes me sick - Terrifies me

A pre emptive nuclear attack is immoral. Should they go through with this, Hitler and Nazi will be replaced when comparisons of evil with Bush and Americans.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!

AND ITS GENOCIDE BASED ON THOUGHT CRIMES ATM.

5. W has thrust this country back into the cold war of the 1950's

and he should be damned for it. His bring it on and hate talk has set the world peace back decades. He reminds me most of Kruschev who clanged his shoes on the U.N. tables and screeched "we will bury you" W is a loose cannon.

6. Bush and his ilk ARE sick sons o' bitches

If Congress doesn't stand up against this -- Democrats AND Republicans -- I'm afraid Bush will go ahead and "push the button". We can take to the streets again, protest, scream, yell, whatever, and we'll probably need to. But mostly I think we need to get after our Senators and Representatives, regardless of their political affiliation, and demand that they intervene and not let Bush get away with this.

It would be great, too, if the honchos in the military put their collective feet down, and refused to drop nuclear weapons of ANY KIND on ANY COUNTRY.

7. I guess I won't be doing much traveling this summer.

Unless someone puts these people in straight-jackets and rubber rooms.

8. talk about compensating for a small endowment!!! . . .

most guys would be content to brandish a shotgun or a rifle . . . Bush must REALLY feel inadequate to be swinging nuclear missiles around . . .

[Judi Lynn]

9. It makes a person feel simply defeated knowing how much control

these monsters have over utterly helpless people. They can force their military people to do absolutely anything which pops into their feverish, diseased minds. What's more, the agents of their genocide are the ones who take all the risks, while they remain more protected than any people on the face of the earth, well sheltered from the consequences of their crimes.

10. Iran also talks about it with Israel

and they are not talking strategic strikes but wiping it off the map.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

11. I can't help wondering why the neocons think we have the higher

moral ground to threaten a preemptive strike to protect ourselves but the Iranians, Koreans, Chinese, hell, anybody else in the world does not have the right to a preemptive strike against the US to save their own people? The big bully on the block is finding that the little guys are standing up to him. Chucklenuts has effectively thrown out the concept of saving the world by recognizing that mutually shared destruction of each other is a deterrent for all disputes.

I'm not advocating that anyone use "nukular" weapons at any time but how can the country who originally developed the weapon, the only country to have used it against another country and is still amassing more and more weapons each year force other countries to quietly sit by and be sitting ducks for a bunch of insane neocons who love to play "video" games with other people's lives?

I hate these a$$wipes and may they rot in hell for ten eternities for what they have done to this country.

12. You durn straight it is, insane one with finger on button

sure sounds dangerous to me.

13. I can't argue with that logic nt
