Western Bullies?

Question

Why should an elitist club of western nations have the sole right to generate nuclear power.

Answer 1

They should ALL be shut down.......if 2012 proves a pole shift,,,,,there will be no human survivors because of the mess from nuclear plants, weapons, and oil wells !!

Answer 2

Cheap and clean energy is the answer to many of the worlds problems. A nuclear reactor is very different from a nuclear enrichment plant though also. But, who trusts Iran or Syria to have either? Iran is full of suicide bombers. Do you think Iran could produce an idealist who could sacrifice the entire nation with a nuclear war netween Israel? Iran is the most idealist thinking nation on the planet. Iran's president Ahmadinajad was one of the terrorists who the took hostages from the US embassy in Tejran which began the Iran/Contra scandle of Regan.
Besides that, there are too many liberal, greanpeace/treehugging, freaks out there who would do everything in their power to stop nuclear energy. Regan said that the amount of waist produced by a nuclear reactor during one year fit under a desk and he tried really hard to promote it.

Answer 3

I agree with you Jumpin J and if you hang on long enough, other like minded soles will read your question and answer in support. The sort of stuff you're getting now is what happens early on in a question, you'll probably get someone accusing you of being a terrorist soon, or asking you what part of Iran you're writing from, that's what happened to me when I questioned the moral authority of 'the west'. No, the elitist west should not have the sole rights. The west is anti Muslim, sees terrorism as somehow different to war. Marches around doing whatever it likes without or without UN blessing, invades, locks up without trial for five years or more and then gets huffy when some 'jolly jonny foreigner' reacts.

Answer 4

The United States Military Complex is what keeps wars going in the world with the help of the CIA and their dirty undercover operations like installing the Shah of Iran illegally in 1953 and then Saddam Hussein in the 1960's.

The American Military Complex is the single reason for threat against world peace as this century already attests to that. The PNAC with the cowards like Dickless Cheney feel that the Americans should rule the world by how they see fit. For the PNAC 9 / 11 was their Pearl Harbor to get the ball rolling.

Answer 5

The point missed is that nuclear weapons, once unleashed in real war would lead to a chain reaction as everone gets them off. Pardon the pun.

Answer 6

because everything that western nations is subject to numerous levels of bureacracy and checks and balances. In today's times, it would be impossible for a western nation to ever generate enough support to be able to launch one.

Some wacko countries act on pure emotion. that is a problem and why they cannot have nukes. You can pretty much guarantee that if Iran had them, they'd use them.

Answer 7

Maybe because these Western nations respect basic human rights, enjoy long-term political stability, and have adequate economic and security institutions to control nuclear energy?

Answer 8

Should a state that sponsors ism and has abitions to impose their intollerant ideology on the rest of the world be given the ability to make nuclear weapons?

Sorry, but the Western World is the only civilization that has the restraint and civility to not turn it into weapons they intend to use.

Answer 9

That's not the problem. Enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons for possible indiscriminate use by untrustworthy nations is the problem.

Answer 10

They shouldn't. All nuclear weapons should be tied to George Dubya Bush & then exploded so he can meet his maker.
