What do you think about American hypocrisy?

Question

This question is directed at the current situation in North Korea. Why does the U.S. feel that countries like North Korea and Iran should not have nuclear weapons? The U.S. does, in fact, have the second largest armament of nuclear weapons on the planet, estimated at almost 10,000 warheads. Keep away ignorant and crude responses please.

Answer 1

I think that's a very good question, and I've often wondered about this myself.

Answer 2

Why are you only focus on American hypocrisy? What about Russia, China, France, India, and Pakistan? Both Iran and North Korea are anti-social, Iran against non-Muslims and North Korea against anyone else who have more money and resources than they. Their government cannot be trusted to abide by the civilized social norms of other nuclear powers, where Iran may furnished nuclear weapons to terrorists to obliterate Israel, Europe, and United States, and North Korea will trade nuclear arms for MONEY.

Answer 3

There are no intelligent reasons for such a horrible weapon to be in possession of any country. Which is the reason the United States and many other countries support nuclear non-proliferation treaties.
To say this is hypocrisy is ludicrous. Obviously there are old Soviet and Chinese nukes still pointed this was. Thus we cannot completely disarm till everyone else does.

Insane? Yes, it is. Which is why it was called MAD in the cold war days.

Answer 4

Famous African expression says " two bulls cannot live in the same herd" and it is obvious that American hypocrisy is born out to grant pentagon unparalleled and dominating power over the rest of the world.
Like the Mongols, roman empire, British, etc, - History has already taught us that it is nowhere written that American empire shall sustain forever. The main difference is that this time, the whole humanity may probably cease, perish or even diminish back again to dark ages from the so called WMD.

Answer 5

UN, talk about the UN. The US is not directly talking to Iran nor N.Korea. Everything is going through the UN.

But the US, we are not saying that nobody can't have nuclear technology except us, we just want the technology to be used in a safe manner.

Both the leaders of Iran and N.Korea have shown that they would use that particular technology for destabilizing reasons.

And your estimate is vastly underrated.

Answer 6

There's a difference between a monkey who knows it's bad to use nukes, and a Dictator who will do anything to sell nukes to dangerous terrorists, or use them for killing at his own hands, regardless of innocent lives or the damage done to the ecosystem.

Monkey = Dubya
Dictator = Kim Jong II

Any more questions?

Answer 7

Bush said that N Korea would not have nuclear weapons,, he called Kim Jong il a pygmy,, he named them as part of the axis of evil,,, the US and other major powers agree that Nuclear should not be in the hands of evil dictators,, N Korea is very,, very dangerous to their neighbors and the world,, probably the most isolated country ever,,, they have work camps,, the people are starving,,, 25% of the population are in the military,, they pose a grave threat to humanity,,, is Bush to blame,,, who does he blame,,, who do Republicans blame,,, who does Kim Jong il blame,, who will they blame if Iran acquires nuclear weapons,,, we have no diplomacy in the US government,, Ms. Rice is not much of a deterrent with Bush back here name calling and blaming Clinton for all his failures,,, 9-11 did not happen under the previous administration,, until George W Bush lets the buck stop with him,, until he accepts responsibility,, the evil will never stop,, the world will become more sinister,,, and the rulers more determined to destroy the US,,, Democrats need to take back our country,,,,

Answer 8

On a much smaller scale, it's the same reasoning that doesn't allow felons to legally own a firearm.
Or why the police confiscate guns from people whose actions or threats constitute a reasonable threat to others.
Do you see hypocrisy in those actions?

Answer 9

Since 2001, American hypocrisy has been the talk of the World. We claim to be the very best at almost everything, but we fail to realize that the giants we stood upon in the past are now gone, and we are mediocre at best now.
When you see suggestions and realities that poor, not rich with money, emigrates are saving Uncle Sam's meat by volunteering in the Military and serving in Iraq for the right to be a citizen, our days as a great nation are numbered. Unless of course, we stop just talking a good game and start walking a good game again in the near future.
If we throw the bums out of Office that have got us into this mess, we could begin to put our house back in order, again.
Good luck!

Answer 10

Yes...and the last one that was used was used in 1945, 61 years ago, in ending the war with Japan. North Korea...do YOU trust em?

Answer 11

"Why does the US feel that countries like NK and Iran should not have nuclear weapons.........."

The fact that you even ask such an immature 4th grade question shows you have no clue as to world history and foreign policy. The WORLD thinks they shouldn't have nukes. Read more about WWII and you'll know why they don't 'get' nuclear weapons.
