Suppose you are a daddy of many kids who don't think you're a greatest daddy in the world. You chain smoke your favorite cigars every day which all your kids and everyone in the neighborhood are aware of. Your kids are interested in trying out Marlboro Lights cigarettes. You say "No" to your kids while you smoke your cigar in their presence and letting your kids smell the smoke you're puffing out. Further more, as a punishment to trying out Marlboro Light, you've stopped all allowance to your kids.

Is this not very similar to what U.S. is doing to those small countries they don't like and to any other countries they won't allow the big bombs based on their judgement? In other word, U.S. telling small countries they don't like "Do what we say. Don't do what we do. If you disobey us, we'll wipe you off the map of earth." By human nature, no one likes being told what to do while someone dictating is doing exaclty what they're pohibting. Does this kind of U.S.'s

non-proliferation work? Is it a workable policy? Nothing in men's world will be perfect.

You have a good argument, but some Countries don't use any discretion with their "bombs"...

It's too bad we have to arm ourselves with these type of weapons in the first place... just to keep those who would use them wrongly.... from using them.

The Dad was wrong..agreed, but what made him start smoking cigars in the first place? Doesn't mean the kids have to smoke.

Yes I agree. But in the case of nations like North Korea and Iran as well as Venezuela these countries have dictators who are dangerous people. In the case of Iran he is not a dictator. He is elected. The only problem is Iran wants the total annihilation of Israel. This will not be tolerated. Remember their is a reason why the land in Palestine was taken to create Israel. They sided with the Nazis and lost WWII. They forfeited land for war debts they owed. Iran seems to forget this very convenient fact.
We don't want them to have nuclear weapons.
Venezuela would buy them from North Korea. North Korea is being run by a madman. He should be assassinated. His country is so in the dark. They have no Internet no cell phones and no electricity in a lot of areas yet he wants Nukes? He will sell them to the highest bidder Ossama Bin Laddin and Alcaida and we will have a full blown nuclear war.
Venezuela dictator hates us. He wants the USA to stay out of his country but he requires us to do business with his country. He holds his oil over our heads. Frankly he is just an annoyance. Our track record is bad in Latin America. I think he hates Bush more than the US.

So your example is not really true. We are more like the dad that has cigars but only smoked two and never smoked again. Because he realized the terrible consequences.

its true that we don't need more weapons of mass destruction in this world. but the cold hard truth is that every country has at least a few.

I'm sure the government really does want to wipe all "wmd's" off the face of the earth. but until that happens we need to keep our own stash because it would a very bad move to get rid of ours and leave ourselves defenseless.

The irony of course is that this line of thinking is probably the same reason the other countries have them as well. the morel of this story is the bombs and wmds are a fact of life. as long as humans are human we will be self destructive its in our nature. and there's nothing we can do about it.

You can stay and work for the new company. The new company takes over your contract, including the non-compete agreement. The new company is the one that decides whether you stay or go. Also, many non-compete agreements are unenforceable. Even if they are enforceable, it is the company with which you were employed that must take action to enforce it. That means hiring a lawyer, paying the lawyer's exhorbitant fees, going to court, proving the agreement is enforceable, AND proving that the company suffered a loss due to you working in violation of the non-compete agreement. That last one ends up being difficult to prove, mostly because in most instances the company has not lost anything due to your working elsewhere.

It's a bit mroe complicated than that. I don't support Bush, or our government, in most matters, but non proliferation is one I agree one. Nuclear weapons are good for keeping peace, sad as it may be, but what happens when some half assed security, barely in control government gets these weapons? It's not so good when people have them with the actual intention to use them.

Realy open youre eyes. nukes are to powerfull for anyone to have but nations still have them. so if the rest of the world is disarming slowly why should we let someone new into the club. were not doing this to be mean. look at it from this point of view if you can take care of your people and give them basic human rights then you may play.

The USA is not big daddy. We don't need more bombs in this world. We certainly don't need every dinky 2-bit dictatorship having them.

This is a perfect analogy of what the US is doing. Daddy and Georgie should have a time out.
