So is this it? I wonder how THIS one is gonna play out. Should we worry about this? I think so.

lol..cheap reason to do away with the pile of weapons they have..gets the defense industry rolling again..and we know how much the economy will benefit from that..

Maybe...but look at the bigger picture...whats going to happen if we start using nukes? What are other countries going to do?

which is?

Global implications. Few people are going to be thrilled with us if we start using nukes. We're not the only nuclear-capable country in the world. If we start to use them, other countries will be afraid and will use them, or some other Weapon of Mass Destruction on us.

k..this is where a simple person would go ' duh '

But you're right. I also heard that the us government is applying presure to the EU for speeding up the admittance of Turkey. Regardless of the qualifications a country needs to meet to even be concidered joining, it does show how US foreign policies work in a way. Going for the strategic advantage and wanting to force it's own vision of what is right and wrong upon the world. Not that it's always wrong, but such a cocky attitude did result in the things we already saw. Change is different though. America can't act policeman of the world. and it shouldn't start wars on foreign grounds if not prepared to fight on their hometurf and face the consequences without pointing fingers to 'allies who let them down'. Not every1 sees the world through the same eyes..



ok..and so far some of my logic which I didn't think through..I just blurred this out, probably full off wrong facts n stuff..I don't care.

Just think though, all that fallout will come back to haunt you, look at Heroshima and Nagasaki the fallout from there was detected as far away as the canary islands!

i do not find it suprising at all, bush has chosen a battle he can not win, and rather than trying to find a more...diplomatic way to resolve the situation...he's like a boy with big toys and an even bigger ego! I hope those who voted for him, including his brother and the electorial college are proud of themselves! I guess he will get his goal to destroy the environment after all...

And that is our biggest flaw right there. Just because we haven't fought on our own land since the Civil War doesn't mean it will always be so. We have this feeling of invincibility. That bubble is going to burst, and I hope it doesn't happen until after I'm gone.

i just don't see why he should punish the world because one old man is not under his control...not only will he be killing hundreds of people who other than being raised with that lifestyle all their lives knowing nothing else, but the land would be rendered useless, not to mention the chemicals used being soaked up into the ecosystem...and people thought acid rain was bad...what kind of example would it set for the rest of the world "do as i say or i will destroy more of the world" maybe he is the antichrist(i imagine the antichrist doesn't have to be bright)...willing to destroy anything for world domination...sadly this is no risk board...but he seems to be playing the game.

dont lookit me i voted for Gore, a man with a brain... a bit boring and stiff but a brain none the less. Bush is truly remarkable.. i mean hes declaring that we will defend our home, our troops abroad AND ALLIES (ALLIES BEING TENTITIVE) with dire force including nuclear weaponry... apparently he feels we have to bully the rest of the earth with our force of strength rather than our force of money which is sad and a throw back to the ww2 days im sure hes only read about and is trying to reenact. The seriously SCARY part though is the word of allies... i mean its common sense that if anyone tries to attack the US on its own soil we will nuke the shit outta them, but now its our allies? I mean c'mon Israel is a sitting duck for all islamic fundamentalist attacks, Saddam even wants to attack Israel. And now were going to defend them with Nukes? sounds ULTRA scary to me. I swear that man and his staff have NO common sense.. i long for Clinton im sure DM and other conservatives will come out and say Clinton was slimy, but you know what? when he was in office this kind of stuff was unheard of. there was a war in Kosovo, but that was us being police officers not really threatening nuclear destruction on the world. Thank god is term is almost up... the Right wing has its control of the US government and already theyre fucking up ROYALLY. so much for 8 years of peace and prosperity.

yeah and who exactly is said comment aimed at? which country in thier right fucking mind would attack the United States as a nation? surely there is NOONE. Which is where the route of the problem lies how can he threaten nuclear destruction if its not the country thats hitting us? if its a splinter group of lunatics residing in that country? i mean would he Nuke afghanistan if said things happend again and the terrorists trained there? i mean hardly any of those terrorists were Afghanis. And Iraq??? they could barely wage a war on Kuwait, let alone the United states. which is why Bushs policy is soooo fucking scary he meant it in DIRECT correlation to Israel. the Only US ally under any kind of serious attack.. or maybe Japan with North Korea but then they cant wage any wars either theyre too busy being hungry.

I'd feel sick but I have become so numb to this vile hypocrisy at this point . . .

go China! (soz..)

But to get back to a decent reply..
I also heard that Israel stole some plutonium of the US..so..my guess is that the Jewish nation will be in possession of unholy fire as it were..they got a nuke themselves. Don't think the world knows though.
And about the UN weapons inspectors...I heard a russian guy once on the topic, since he worked in a weaponsplant himself, he just knew that the things the inspectors are shown aren't the real things going on. i.e. The UN should hire more of that kind of ppl who just know what to look for, not the let some educated elitist group do the sniffing.
hmm..america as a policeman is just fine by me..too bad most policemen always think they're more then they really are.

ground control to major tom

If someone say killed bush would he have his head put on mnt Rushmoore? If not someone please kill him!

I actually heard that the German prime minister referred to Bush as Hitler . . .

I imagine that they would know a madman when they see one.

that's kind of an ironic statement, i just hope that when voting comes around again this will open the minds...do they want a president who is willing to destroy the world just to prove he's right...

and billy pointed out a few good points, but i have to disagree with the concept that no one would attack the states as a nation...not at this point in time, but what if bush is successful with his "attack", what will the other nations think and feel about that...if they disagree with him will they be next in his cross hairs...i would be very wary of one who has to use such drastic force against a...physically weaker opponent, maybe that's why hussein is being so..compliant, showing the world he's not as a formidable opponent or as dangerous as america...let bush bury himself..the best method of destroying an enemy is to let him destroy himself...

*i voted gore too*

I would have voted Gore, but alas, I can't yet vote.

that's the pathetic thing about our government's way of choosing a president, by majority vote gore would be in power, but by the "electorial college" it was bus
