Why don't we pull out all troops and then nuke Iraq, Iran, etc...?

Question

The people in those countries think that when they die they're going to spend eternity with Allah and 40 virgins etc. So surely killing them all would be doing them a favor.

Why should US and British troops continue to die for people who don't deserve to even be called human? They all hate us. The people in those counties have nothing to live for, they'd be better off dead.

If we nuked them, no more troops would die, but all the crazy Islamic nuts would die.

Answer 1

Because it would be a crime against humanity!
It is the kind of thing Saddam would do.
It would be the kind of thing Hitler would do!
And someday the kind of leader that would order that kind of genocide would eventually come for you or someone you care about!
Those weapons MUST remain inactive forever if the human species is to survive.
Dehumanizing the enemy so that genocide is possible would make Stalin or Hitler or Saddam proud! Are you sure you want to advocate this kind of idiocy?

Answer 2

Here my Thoughts......... Answers to the Question are TOWARD the Bottom of the PAGE
========================================
YUP iam a Repub.! i have differant Veiws i agree wit on both sides but i just posted a Iraq Bullitein that show my Views on that subject which is Gunna be below:::a lil history to remind people why we there 100,000 kurds dead,SARIN,VX, and Mustard Gases controlled by a Crazy Power hungry Dictator,which is not kept safely so TERRORSISTs can get ahold of it and use it on other Nations like the U.S.A....................

you guys why is it all abt the CURRENT president now alot of people would say Clinton is Better but this state is not neccerarely True when Clinton was in Office he approved and ordered a Strike on Iraq from December 16 1998 to December
19 1998 October 31, 1998 president Clinton signed into law H.R. 4655, the "Iraq Liberation Act." The new Act appropriated funds to Iraqi opposition groups in the hope of removing Saddam Hussein from power by force if neccicary and replacing his regime with a democracy. So the Point is If Clinton did not get kicked out of Office we would have been in the same war maybe even earlyier. and i agree wit Bush troop surge is good becuz ither we are there For a long time or we Outnimber and win if we bring the Troops home that will just show the rest of the world that we ARE bullies and destroyers thus more Terrosist groups will attack us...there are around 1000 iraqi Military forces now!

-65% of the militia that are attacking us are from other Islamic goverments that are perticipating in a Global Jihad

-We use to get 24% of our oil from Iraq befor 1990 when we invaded we now get only 16% of our oil from them that is why gas is so much.

-WMD's include Chemical Warfare and Biological Warfare, in 1988 Saddam unleashed SARIN and VX Gas on the Village of Halabja killing 5000 Civillian woman and children and Disabiling 10,000 more so aparently he had WMD's

-My 2 Cusins are over in Iraq, Army and Marines Striker Bregade,Fort Lewis, Washington and they see stuff that we would never see like schools being built and equal rights for woman and they are proud to be there.

Depending on the kiloton yield, the outcry would be numbing. 500 kiloton strategic nukes would have global suicide implications, while tactical nukes will have regional implications.

Strategic nukes, at least a dozen of them in the 500 kiloton range would take out the middle east and vaporize around 190 million (3% of the world). Another 200 million in nearby countries would die from radioactive poisoning, and their only crime would be living next door to the Middle East.

Carl Sagan estimated a very low threshold for nuclear winter, a 100 kiloton blast would ignite fires that would cause a nuclear winter....ie, the sun would be blotted out due to the dust and ash from the fires and all plant life would cease to exist....followed shortly thereafter by animal life.

So the option of eliminating the middle east by nukes is global suicide....which is why nukes have been a deterrent to total war for the past 60 years

Answer 4

In the USA does Hillary Clinton have the same beliefs towards stem cell research as George Bush does?
In Canada, does Sheila Copps have the same beliefs on women's rights and freedoms as John Crosbie?
Islamic nations are no different in terms of having liberal minded and ultra conservative minded individuals. It might surprise you to know that even in Iraq there are women who do not believe in wearing a scarf over their hair. Yet without analyzing the truth any further you want to kill everyone.
To answer your question, the reason why "nuking" has not been done is because no one in power is narrow minded enough to do it.

Answer 5

Matthew, nuking is not the answer, the answer lies in the heart of the Muslims. All present wars will end when they'll stop believing that all non-Muslims are infidels and should not be befriended; when they'll stop believing that Muslims are commanded to convert all non-Muslims to Islam or kill them if they refuse; when they'll stop believing that Allah is the only God that should be worshiped; when they'll stop thinking the way they thought and behaved in the 10th century; when they'll free their countries from the Islamic law. This is a tall list for them to comply with, until then we will do our best to protect ourselves and fight the best we can their terrorism. God bless!

Answer 6

Ok, you are wrong. They are humans and deserve respect and compassion. It is not their fault for the crap Saddam, the Taliban, and all the others crazies, have done. You are the reason that people in these countries hate us. You think you are better than them, your not, you just have more opportunities in life. Not all Muslims and followers of Islam are crazy. Most are decent hard working people. They deserve a chance at freedom and life. You are just lowering your self to a terrorist's level.

Answer 7

Really smart invade a Nation because you consider it has mass destruction weapons, then you win the war and discover that where was no MDW, and then you find in trouble with the guerrilla, and you use a MDW like a nuke on that country.....WOOW you should be a genius, even better than Bush.....

Answer 8

There are innocent people there too....working men, who have families. You can't just kill them...it's like saying lets kill old people and handicapped people.If we were to do something like that we would be worse than them.
How would you feel if an Army invaded your country. If you were scared to go the grocery store because you might get blown up. The majority is just civlilians trying to live their lives.

Answer 9

Excellent points, but I don't think many people would like a nuclear strike. A nuclear strike would hurt America's image more than the troops dying does.

Answer 10

because no leader in US history has been stupid enough to use nukes without good cause. like saving possibly millions of lives.
do you realize the extremists are not all in one place and we would destroy israel?
