Should the USA just nuke the entire middle east and be done with it?

Question

this question came from an unknown white house source

Answer 1

Yeah, that just solves everything, doesn't it?

Nuke everyone we don't like. Great solution...NOT.

Put down your Xbox controller fool, you obviously have no experience dealing with real human beings. You aren't thinking about the consequences, are you?

Answer 2

I'm not sure how serious of an answer you are really looking for here. But if you are, then I'll give it a shot. First, to assume that we can 'nuke' the enitre Middle East is being unrealisitic. Far too few people understand how geo-politics and global economics really work. The approach of ducking and dodging conflict may have worked back in the 17 and 1800's when all you really had to worry about for your survival, was manning the farm you grew your food on. In today's global economy, everything that happens somewhere else...affects us here. Imagine for a second, that we allow control of the Middle East (and it's plentiful oil reserves) to remain with radical, terrorist supporting regimes...how long do you think it will be before before oil becomes a carrot on a stick for us...how long do you think it will be before countries like Iran openly fund terroist groups like Al-Qaeida? I strongly believe this, in the end, is a future struggle between Christian and Islamic ideologies...it is a struggle that CANNOT be avoided by Americans who think that we are the global bully. These same viewpoints about leaving other people alone, when it's not our business, was the same tactic used prior to World War II as it related to Nazi Germany. I only imagine how life for unknowing Americans may have been today had we not have taken action then. Sure...let's leave them alone...watch your gas go up to $7-$10 a gallon...trucks and railroad systems that transport our food, their costs will go up....imagine not being able to afford food for your family at that point...it's not that far off from being a reality. Our economy is a global, and fragile one at that. Nuking other countries, in addition to the points I've already made, does'nt really encourage others to want to trade with you. But cutting and hiding under a rock is'nt the answer either...history has already taught us that.

Answer 3

No. There's innocent people there, too. That's why you see them crying when a loved one is killed by a suicide bomber. Plus, some of them in Iraq were glad that Saddam has been booted out.

Besides, going with nukes could start a chain reaction. Somebody gets mad at us, say North Korea. So they nuke us. Then somebody gets mad at them & does the same to them...and so on until all the nuclear countries are messed up. Then, the poor countries are left, and have nobody to turn to for economic help and disaster relief. So everyone loses.

Answer 4

YEEEEEEE HAAAAAWWWW!

Let's just blow everyone else that isn't American off the face of the earth and take their resources for our own. We can make everywhere else "America" - just like us!

Once that's done, we'll probably want to get rid of anyone that disagrees with what has been done - so let's be sure to send anyone that disagrees to a country all their own, then NUKE IT!

Yes SIREE!! Though people who have some sort of intelligence ought to be nuked too, since they're probably going to bring up the logistical, statistical, ethical, and socio-political reprocussions to doing something like that. Move them overseas to some little island and drop a bomb on them!

Now that they're out of the way... yea, gay people. Definately. Who wants gay people. NUKED!

Hmmm... you know... all the people that LOOK like they may have come from the middle east should be nuked too... and anyone that looks like they may have been an illegal immigrant... and looks like they may have been a slave... or ...

hey... I have an idea. If you're going to be so ignorant... why not nuke yourself and spare us all?

Answer 5

Yes. Those people are hopeless. The place is hopeless. The war is hopeless. We need to stop dying for a hopeless cause. And it's not just America. Middle Easterners are terrorizing countries throughout the world, who never did anything to them. That is what really makes me mad.

There aren't any inocent people left over there. The children learn from an early age that it is heroic to be suicide bombers. So the loss of inocent life isn't really an issue here.

Answer 6

Question for you. Why can't USA be nuked by countries like North Korea and Iran. Most people overseas want that to be honest.

Answer 7

It comes down to this:

The only confirmed living species in the universe floating on a rock through an enormous void can't get its **** together to come together on the same page because they are too busy paying creedence to things written 3000 years ago as a guideline so they wouldn't rape women, kill each other over land, and basically be able to sleep in peace.

This isn't just about faith, it's about accepting ourselves as a civilized, unified society that we all want to accomplish common goals together. It's about people who still want to be able express dominance over the weak. It's about manipulating others to make them believe that one God is more real than another, about making them believe that the wealthy are closer to God and talk directly to him while the poor can't do such a thing.

Put it this way, logically, if there is a God and he/she/it created us, then why would it then want us to kill each other over a piece of land a little larger than Massachusettes.

That's archaic thinking. There's a whole planet here with a ton of free room and they want to fight over a tiny little sachel of land that is supposedly where we all came from and should be safe enough for anyone to go visit and spend time and learn about.

It's really assinine and needs to be addressed, and apparently they want to play hardball with their lives. I don't think Nuking them is the way to go because it would affect the whole planet. But if we could get Europe and Australia on the same page as us and mobilize a massive invading force to topple these *** backwards regimes to address these issues, then maybe, just maybe we might be able to unify the world.

To put it bluntly: Everyone wants to try diplomacy, but the people we are dealing with are too stupid to understand that and think us evil and manipulative for trying it.

As Rome, London, Paris, Berlin, and basically every other modern country has learned, there's no place in politics for religion. It's up to the world to separate that.

I personally think that all organized religion should be banned, and people should be forced to practice in the privacy of their own homes.

It's that simple. That eliminates ALL ISSUES.

Answer 8

try it and let see what really happens to the USA. for the the lady that said except Isreal, if you nuke, then no one is spared...Sorry..
you shouldn't be thinking stuff like this, hasn't 9-11 taught you anything. The move you try to control, the more the problem will come to your door step...
Peace be with you....

Answer 9

Why they are not people ?? Are you the only human on this planet? Its attitude difference ..whatever they are doing ..they think is the most correct act....and same with USA.....if you (USA and middle east) have atleast some brain in the skull ....better use it and find out symbiotic solution ...!!

Answer 10

No. Not all Muslims are extremists. Lots of my kids from school returned to their home countries and most of them didn't want to leave the US....even the little militant M who started off with his head down during the Pledge of Allegiance but later recited it louder than any of his American classmates.
