Has America's WAR ON TERROR started a second Nuclear Arms Race?

Question

Recently, Israel purchased 2 Nuclear Capable submarines - German made "Dolphin Subs".

The point is that Israel is showing Iran that it has a nuclear counterstrike ability if Iran attacks Israel with nuclear weapons when they get their fission reactor running and begin producing nukes.

Basically, Since Bush started the "War on Terror", North Korea reactivated their reactor and began producing nuclear bombs ( without intercontinental ballistic missiles yet) and Iran has continued work on their Bushehr reactor in Tehran with the expressed intent of destroying Israel.

If you take a look back, these countries began to actively seek nuclear proliferation just after the war began. Unfortunately Bush was too stupid to forgo attacking HARMLESS IRAQ and deal with Iran and NK which were the real threats all along.

By Unilateraly invading Iraq, has America began a nuclear arms race - by showing countries that we are willing to invade anyone, anytime no matter what the international community votes or believes in?

These dictatoships/authoritarian/tot... regimes are afraid of America and are desperate to get nuclear weapons to intimidate us now after what happened to Iraq.

No matter what, a nuclear attack on America would be devastating and would result in America totally annihiliating the country behind it. As for Israel however, I believe a nuclear war is IMMINENT since Iran is not listening to diplomacy and is determined to do what Kim Jong Il has done: launch test missiles to show that they have the bombs and delivery systems in the works for America's west coast.

How did BUSH get us into this?

A nuclear attack on Israel is more likely do to the current hostilities continualy escalating- since it has such small boarders, a nuclear attack will completely destroy Israel.
If the attack is carried out by a terrorist organization or radical Islamist group, IT WOULD BE A VICTORY FOR THE ENTIRE ARAB WORLD as well as the neonazi's worldwide. If Israe; was nuked, it wouldn't be able to attack the entire arab world with whatever measures it had remaining.
Basically, alot of people would die and they wouldn't be able to launch a counterattack against a specific target since Arab Muslim terrorists are spread everywhere.

They'd all be cheering and happy about it. And there'd be nothing we could do.

A lesser known fact about the Iranian reactor is that AMERICA WAS THE ONE WHO BUILT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE...

I am so dissapointed in our administrations who have allowed 3rd world sh!tholes such as China to steal our technology and even worse, we have sold weapons to Iran and Iraq (iran contra).

We are digging our own grave.

Answer 1

Didn't start it, but is accelerating it.

Answer 2

In the next 50 to 100 years, just about anything can happen. In 100 years you could have the Most Holy Empire of Oklahoma (led by Great Khan Alexander von Singh from his capital in Austinius) declaring a Zensunni crusade against the Despotate of Cascadia-East over the Despotate's failure to send a sufficiently cybernetically-enhanced ambassador to the Great Khan's line marriage. So, really, this is an unanswerable and meaningless question. Now, what you'd need to do is analyze trends and determine if, at some point in the future, there is an overwhelming benefit to one country to begin military action against another. Could that happen? Yes - but the world isn't a game of Risk where everyone is just trying to expand their territory for prestige, and the only thing holding them back is the military strength of their rivals. International diplomacy (and decisions of war and peace) are determined by national spheres of interest and popular demands for one or the other (with the people in most countries desiring peace).

Answer 3

The premise of your question is bogus. Bush did not START the war on terror, Islamic Fascists started the war on terror.

Think about it. Everytime we did nothing (embassy bombings, USS Cole, first trade tower bombing, 9/11) we were attacked again. This time we responded with military force and, to date, we have not been attacked since. Are you beginning to see a pattern here?

It was inevitable that these rogue countries would eventually start enriching uranium - with or without the war in Iraq. Even these clowns, with enough outside help and materials, can develop the technology needed to build a nuclear bomb. It wouldn't surprise me if their engineers on this project got their education in an American university.

They aren't pursuing their nuclear ambitions because they're afraid of the U.S. any more than one of the richest oil producing countries in the world is working on enrichment so they can build nuclear power plants (and become energy independant????)

Answer 4

Instead of burying your head in the sand and hoping it will all go away and blaming Bush for something that happened since the 60's is not the right answer.

Since the communist of the 60's wanted us to pull out of Vietnam because they did not have the ball's to finish that war, it showed the world that USA CAN be intimidated and forced to leave a country it is fighting. Ever since then, the Islamo fascist have come out fighting.

They are not wrong so far it don't seem. You are a prime example of what they are wanting... Thanks!

Answer 5

As we have said for some time, this is a war against Islamofascists. The Iranian leader said he would risk half of Iran for the destruction of Israel. Islamofascists are for real, and their hate and intolerance is resulting in this "nuclear arms race".


Don't forget, libturds, blame America first and exonerate the enemy and the intolerant suicide bombers! Great job, traitors!

Answer 6

Petrodollars (high oil price) in the hands of rogue mideast nations fueled the nuclear arms race. Israel has been nuclear for quite a while (without wiping anyone off the map).

Answer 7

North Korea was working on it the whole time just like every country who has $15 in their hot little hands. You just stick your head up your a$$ and imagine Hillary is in office and you are all praying 5 times a day to Allah

Answer 8

No. The rest of the world is just finally catchig up to us in the nuclear department.

Answer 9

Bush didn't start this by any means.. It has been happening since 1979 revolution.

Answer 10

Dude, too much to read--Cliff Notes please.
