After reading several different posts, i cant help but notice the inherently violent nature of some peoples responses. Calls to 'Nuke Iran, Burn the place to the ground, Glass Them' etc are all gettign rather worrying.
Do you people seriously know what your saying? You have no qualms of dropping Nuclear Fission Warheads on an innocent population, when it is their Government we dont like?
The casualties would be in the Millions, it would dwarf Stalins Purges and Hitler Holocaust. My question is simply, do you seriously mean this? In the event of a Nuclear strike against Iran, you would support your government?

Well, I have never said this, but I do believe people say things like this because it is easier to hate blindly than it is to understand. I think statements like those are the product of uneducated minds and fear. They are afraid of Iran, so it's easier to annihilate the problem then to solve it.
I agree, it is sickening.

Even the thought of a nuclear war is really beyond my comprehension. How soon some people forget, or just plain don't know the facts of what happens when these weapons are used.
Having said that, if there were ever a true reason for using them, I'd support it. You're using the reference of a group of people who have religious beliefs about exterminating an entire group of people known as infidels. This really is an important issue to keep those weapons out of their hands. If push ever came to shove, I'd support my government in the use of such a horrific weapon.

Although I really hate the entire Middle East, I still do not like the idea of Nuclear War- Not in this day in age, when any a&&hole third world country can get their hands on them. I like the idea of using a 'Napalm Death' approach, simply because it would take of the suicide problem along with saving American lives, but anything involving Nuclear Warfare is just simply a bad idea.

I totally understand what I am saying.
Do YOU understand that the crazy little turd in Iran would not open his intentions of destroying us up for discussion? Do YOU realize that he wouldn't think twice about wiping us clean off the planet?
You don't seem to comprehend that our strength is what keeps us safe, and our willingness to use our weapons keeps our enemies at bay. And all this freedom we have to say things like "NUKE IRAN!" is not a freedom that the Iranian people have.

It is human nature to behave as such when disconnected from the issue. Most Americans don't even have passports let alone travel outside the country. We Americans need to educate ourselves with things going on in the rest of the world so as to be able to make informed decisions.

hey if push comes to shove are u gonna bring a stick to a knife fight, i dont think so, you would bring a gun and win the fight well we just happen to have bigger guns so why not aim to win. So yes i would support the use of nukes if we need to use them, and by the way not all countrys with the evil leadership has an innocent population

People are ignorant and would rather imagine they can nuke their way out of danger instead of actually thinking a peaceful solution to the problem. Don't worry, these fvckers don't have a hand on the button.

the us wouldn't use nukes but conventional missles. even with the north korea situation, they have them if needed, but always use conventional as they want military strikes with as least of civilian deaths possible. the problem with iran is when saddam was after them long ago, they sent in millions of unarmed people ahead of the military so they could gain an advantage.

You certainly didn't read my post cause I don't write that kind of stuff. I see your point and completely understand you. I'm studying political sciences and can differ right from wrong. And when I told I understand your reclamation it's cause I know one guy who is neonazi and sometimes in debates have to listen what he has to say. That's tormenting.

see, that is where freedom of speech kinda gets picked on
people have the freedom to say this but you cant stop them from expressing thier opinion or it is violating their rights
it depends there are some things you can say and some you cant
