Since Iran can't nuke us yet isn't time for us to nuke them first?

Question

The crazy, hostage taking terrorist that runs the place will use the nukes if he gets them. Let's not let that happen! Warm up the ICBMs!

Answer 1

We don't have to nuke them to do the damage that needs to be done. Regular air strikes will do a fine job.

Answer 2

Sarcastic question or not.
Ans: It will most likely come to that, however I don't think the powers that be in Washington have the grit to do so. It would not be politically correct.
I also believe that Israel will ultimately do the job, that is if they want to survive. Many nations have aided Iran in the development of Nuclear power, France, Germany, Russia, etc. From the intel I have seen, I believe there is evidence Iran already has three nukes. Just don't have the means of delivering them on target.
If you look at the majority of the ans. to your question, you will see that the majority would not support this action no matter what. That is until it is too late.
It does not take a large nuke to do terrible damage. It can be placed in a brief case which can easily be smuggled into this nation. Four or five in strategic locations will paralyze this nation. And guess what, we will not be able to define the country they came from.
Israel knows how vulnerable they are
We on the other hand are invincible. Smile. Or is that a full belly laugh. Most people think so. How sad and wrong.

Answer 3

That move by Iran to take those 15 British sailors hostage sealed their fate, I think. I don't know if we are going to get a chance to blow Iran away. The British just may do it for us. They are a gritty bunch, like ourelves, and this incident , in my view is an act of war. Iran is where a lot of the bomb making material is coming from too, along with being part of the insurgency. The sooner Iran is neutralized, the better the world will be, because the rest of the region will settle right down, not wanting to suffer the same fate.

Answer 4

That wouldn't work. It's unfair to suggest that Iran would nuke us anyways, seeing as they also have to worry about their own survival, and provoking america into a nuclear war would be devestating. Nuclear weapons are an impractical way of waging war, as their more like negotiating tools. If Iran got nukes it would find far more profit in brandishing them to make demands such as the release of Iranian prisoners, financial compensation for war debts, and the removal of economic blocakdes, then to actually use them. There was a similair situation in North Korea, where the North Koreans Used the nukes they allegedly had to influence the U.N. into lifting a trade embargo. Both sides lose in a nuclear war, because the cost of human lives is to great. An american nuclear attack would not be condoned by the free world, because contrary to what the American public would like to think, they are despised and resented in most countries. The attack would most likely cause the U.N. to assert its position in the world and protest against America's political bullying.

-Iran would glow in the dark

-America would become subject to intense reprisal from other nations, perhaps in the form of terrorism.

No one's happy.


I would also ask how much longer america will think it's invincible. It's destroying and torturing the nations it swore to protect, it feels its entitled to rip off whom ever it wants to sustain its massive population. It's unfair that so many countries are below the poverty line while the defenders of freedom are off goose-stepping through where ever they please so that their enormously fat and rich people can eat more cheeseburgers and drive larger SUV's. Iran dosen't hate the world, it hates America. 911 demonstrated that the U.S. bruises like a peach. America v.s. the World would be fine for the states if it took place on forgein soil, and we all met in a field, shook hands, and then took turns shooting eachother. A few thousand americans are killed, and its plain evil. A few hundred thousand Afghans and Iraqis are killed in reprisal and its "all in a days work" for captain america. I just think America should prepare for a time when they can't win wars just by scaring their opponents into submission before a shot is fired, when it's perfect and special citizens will be put through what the Iraqi's are going through right now. They won't be able to ignore the blood on their hands forever.

hhhhh...........

Answer 5

Why cant we nuke them. See that is interesting because its a very simple answer to a complex problem, some might say too simple. Maybe there were people that already thought of this as a possible outcome to an armed conflict and saw fit to expedite these conflicts in a timely and more controlled manner.

Answer 6

That's a great idea. Let's just nuke anyone who has nuclear capabilities and enmity towards the US. How about North Korea? They actually have the delivery capability. Or China? Or Pakistan? Or those pesky Russian states?

That'll show 'em.

Answer 7

Hi, I'm from Italy. u think a nuclear war would make us better? U r crazy if u think so. The nuclear war will only create lots of deaths and blood rivers. and also american economy would fall. all the menaces against usa by all muslim guys are cock-ups for having more money. trust me.
