This man is not a light wieght but a world renowned American Physicist at a large US university -

Following the war the changes in the law and the current news he believes that the US is in the final stages of it's first nuclear strike against a nation that has not attacked the US.

If this happens will you still support George W ?

Answer 1

Dear God, what a thought! It comes as no real surprise to me though, Bush is literally a maniac anyway! All I can do is pray for my quick removal in this world and not live to see the horrors of the likes Chernobyl did. I don't like to think about these types of things but it may soon be a reality much to my utter disgrace that we still think in terms like this. We are no better evolved than the Romans were when they fed their people to the hungry lions for entertainment. We are no better today then yesterday. Its so sad huh?

Answer 2

Which is cool, I think similarly. But you are putting stock into it because he is a physicist, and this is outside the realm of his (and my) expertise. His is physics, but he is talking about politics and social science. This is his opinion, and while I share it, you are adding weight to it because of his position, and that isn't good either.

If it should happen however, my dislike for President Bush will grow. I don't think he is doing what is right for America, but I don't doubt that doing right for America is his intention, just that he is not going about it in the right way. But if he were to nuke another country (I believe you are talking about Iran, but with the countries he has ticked off it could just as easily be some other country) I would lose faith in the idea that he at least is trying to do right by America and begin believing he is out only for his own power.

Answer 3

I haven't, and have never supported Bush. If were old enough to vote during the last elections, even though I'm not a Kerry Fan, I would have rather him taken the seat as president.

We would try and start a nuclear war. And then justifying it by threatening the rest of the world with our weapons.

God I hate this country.

Answer 4

Oh. A world renowned American Physicist at a large US university predicting gloom. How original.

Answer 5

Let's see, who am I going to go to for analysis of a political situation.

An international relations specialist? No.

A journalist? Nope.

A physicist? SURE! Even better, he's on that truly unbiased web site, antiwar.com!

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!

Answer 6

And a physicist can predict this how???? He knows nothing of foreign policy. Definitely not an expert on the field of politics.

And now look at all the lemmings that follow you...man some of you people believe anything.

Answer 7

the united states have already planned the attack contained in the pentagon, and they have a bomb the dimensions of two double decker buses to interrupt the 6 mile lengthy facility less than floor. it really is yet another remember to regime replace which could take months of bombing in the journey that they could get rid of the regime.

Answer 8

I think some clever fellows need to figure out a way to hit Iran and make it look like they had a nuclear accident. When it comes to nukes, I would rather deliver the first strike than retaliate against the first strike.

Answer 9

Even good ol' george w is not stupid enough to experiment with nuclear arms in a time of relative peace, nuclear weaponry is not to be used lightly.

Answer 10

Yes. Its a hell of a lot better than being on the receiving end of a first strike.
