Do people really want to nuke Iran?

Question

Reading a lot of stuff on here about the captured British soldiers, most people's answer to the crisis seems to be 'Nuke em! Bomb them back to the stone age!'

Do you really think this is the best option? Just because of the actions of a few corrupt officials in the Iranian government you want to destroy an entire country, killing millions of innocent people?

Let's say our government kidnapped some foreign soldiers... would their country then be justified in bombing our entire nation and killing all of us?!

Answer 1

I think you will find most people who answer like that are still in school.

Edit

Ok I take it back, either in school OR american (they always have to get involved in everything)

Answer 2

No. Of course 'nuking' a country is never justified and I'm pretty sure that those 14 men and 1 woman wouldn't want that as an end result.

But what is the answer? Iran are bang out of order and don't seem to be listening to diplomacy. So I'm guessing next there will be some sort of UN sanctions debate.... and then.... well in my opinion it was an act of war... maybe nuking is a little over the top!

Mahmood it like the nasty little boy in grade school who is throwing a tantrum and bullying other kids. It is unfortunately the only thing a bully comprehends is force.

Those on the left assume that their favorite whipping boy is the problem. When in fact he is the only president in the last 20 yrs that has taken the battle to the enemy, we cut and ran in Somalia, Carter's placating the muzzies and Clinton's ineffectualness in dealing with the muzzies is what placed us in this situation. Had Carter taken military action in the 70s when these ragheads took our embassy perhaps Mahmood would have been a dead raghead in 78 instead of a dictator threat today.



I personally thing "nuke" is a bit of overkill as the majority of the younger iranians would prefer to westernize. But the old hippies of Iran have control of the country.

I would think more in line with a strategically placed 50 caliber round in his skull and those of the mullahs from one or more of his own people might prove more effective then anything. Iran is a tinderbox. All it needs is a match.

Mahmood wants the last caliphat, we in the west have a hard time understand the mental defects of religious zealots and often fail to recognize it until the bomb embassies, trade centers or pentagons.

Islam in it's self is innocuous as are most religions. In the teachings of the Koran as professed is that Sharia is the law they adhere too, Sharia law is a 8th century remnant that goes against societal norms. The "fanatical islamo-fascists" bent on world destruction believe that through Jihad the Messiah will come. Well, that said, people are people, I think a person can believe what they wish as long as their belief does not inhibit my ability to believe what I choose.

Islam has three tenants for dealing with non-muslims, Convert to islam, tax and enslave, or kill. While the majority of muslims don't feel this doctrine is valid, the islamo-fascists that are soon to enplace Sharia in Europe with have countless infidels to deal with..

I would recommend some reading before you give islam a pass, read Robert Spencer's book "The Political Incorrect Guide to Islam" and also see if you can get a copy of the DVD "Obsession" which is a very good documentary of radical islam and a must see for anyone who questions why some muslims are creating a very dangerous situation for this planet.

I've known people of all faiths, from Jew, Muslim, Christian Buddhist, Hindu, Wiccan, and each one have the view that their religion is the "only" correct one and "if only" people would see what they see the world would be a better place..

Here is a link to a must read article that is a glimpse of the future regarding Islam. It is a must read.. it's long but well worth the time.

What baffles me is that the supposed "peaceful" muslims and their clerics don't condemn these radicals for fear of reprisal, guess what by denying a problem exists won't make it go away. Muslim radicals killed 3000+ people in NYC and DC on 9/11/01, in my opinion the was is not on Terror, we need to call it what it is, you can't fight an ideology, you need to fight an enemy, radicals are the enemy, the direction their clerics preach is a global sharia under a new Caliphate (muslim pope)..

Do a google on Sharia, you will find many of the same things as you'd find in the Old testament book of Leviticus, while these "laws" were fine and dandy 2000 years ago, the social implications are not valid today.

Answer 4

Not just yet. First, UK want the 15 Royal Navy personnel being held hostage to be released immediately. The female RN sailor is apparently going to be released soon. She has a four year old son. Okay...so the thing is starting to move a bit. The pressure is on Iran and the ball is very much in their court. They must act now and release all the hostages they are holding and then business can get back to something approaching normal. Meanwhile, whatever threats and sanctions which can be used will be used and are being used.

Answer 5

However tempting it is to nuke Iran, let us remember Chernobyl. When that Powerstation blew up most of Europe's agriculture and foodchain was adversely affected for a number of years. In fact, there are still traces in british soil. Would it end with just one nuclear device? I think not. If I was Putin and the fallout from a device in Iran would affect my country I would join the fun and send one or several devices to the country of origin of the device that hit Iran. Naturally that country's allies would not just sit by and let that happen and soon it will be a free for all who are members of the nuclear club and the end of mankind as we know it.

Answer 6

No, you're right, it's not the best option, it's the absolute worst. It's worth remembering that it is now New Year in Iran, and everyone is on holiday. The government offices are closed, this is family time for everyone. Next week, when people are back at their desks, we should be able to sort something out. They don't want a nuclear war either.

Answer 7

To get attention, people use words, to provoke. Nobody will ever nuke anybody, its the boggey men of the Pentagon, to scare us into ever bigger budgets for a their ever useless adventures. Since 1989 Ukrania has opened its doors to a nuke arsenal, big enough to blow up every country on earth 50 times. You can get a complete long range missile with triple nuke head for under $500,000. Nobody has bought one. Why, because it would be complete suicide. Not even the suicide bombers of Islam will do it, because a revenge missile would give an excuse, to eliminate Islam. Everybody who has a brain between the ears knows that, but most people don't think.

Answer 8

Nah, should try not to let nukes off anywhere - we are all connected and every action has a consequence which will effect us in some way.

However, i say that next time old georgey bush wants to act like a cowboy about Iran, we just sit back and let them deal with it themselves.....Think their mad really - Tony Blair is a poodle, but sure he's the closest thing to a voice of reason in George Bush's ear - woulda thought the Iranians would want to keep us on side!

Answer 9

i think you will find all these people on here know nothing about what a nuclear bomb will do if it was used... yes it would kill a hell of a lot of people ,which i think everybody is after.. but it will also leave the area so no one can live there for years and years.. which would be stupid as this means all the oil we are fighting for we would not be able to get to..
plus don't forget we have no idea what other country's would do if a nuclear bomb was dropped...
so i say don't listen to these people because they have no idea...
the funy bit is some of the people saying it are Americans which makes me laugh as most Americans dont want the war and blame Bush, but then loads of them on here want to start world war III...

let all wait and see what happens...

Answer 10

I think Iran will let them go soon enough,this is just politics and
it will turn out just fine.Why would anybody want to start more
conflict in this already unstable area,Nukes are never the real
answer too any aggression and after Hiroshima I personally
never want to see the aftermath of another nuke.All life is a
precious thing,whatever your nationality,race or creed.you
are a human being first and foremost!!!!

Answer 11

Not the whole country just where their leaders are.
You and those that think like you are the reason Iraq is going down hill. To change the gov't the people must suffer and eventually will get rid of them..that has been the rule of war since the beginning of man.
