I hear posters at YA saying, "Nuke Iran!" or nuke this country... or that country. Do you think they have the slightest idea what they're saying? Would you support a nuclear attack on another country? Would you be willing to accept the consequences?
Do you know what the consequences would be?

No, I wouldn't sit passively by if America nuked anyone and I wouldn't be willing to accept the consequences. And I don't think the rest of the world would either.
You know the consequences would make 9/11 look like child's play.

Let's say that the US or one of our allies was attacked by terrorists and tens of thousands died. Multi-national intelligence sources concluded without doubt that the terrorists were supported by a particular nation. Their capitol should be "bombed into the stoneage".
Who's to say Iran will be a greater threat to world peace with nukes than Israel already is? My take on the situation says no.

The US isn't going to nuke anybody. Even if terrorists nuked the US, the response would not be nuclear. The US has plenty of conventional bombs big enough to do the job without turning anywhere in to a toxic wasteland.

What the boneheads on all sides fail to recognize is that nothing will happen on that scale unless there is a retaliation and will have a whole lot of support. We will not go into Iran without Congress Approval, just as we did in Iraq. Sometimes I think there are nothing but stupid high school kids on here when they begin their rants on this topic.

I doubt China or Russia or India or Pakistan or Ukraine or Indonesia or North Korea or Saudi Arabia or Turkey or....
No, the world would not stand passively by. We would effectively start WWIII and Nukes would be in play.

How would we stop it?
The world didn't stop the Iraq thing.
No, I think we'd sit passively by, perhaps chewing our bottom lips. Because if America decides to do something there's very little anyone can do to stop her, or it seems that way to me. Even if it is just plain stupid/wrong (sorry guys, but it was).
I might be wrong - I hope so.

I'm from the UK, we're used to the US being agressive, but not batshit crazy!
If the US nuked somebody a process of backing away would start really fast.

no, enough people are getting mad at us for staying in iraq. we'll start facing the same embargos we put on others. we'll be named villians not heros.
people on here are very unaware of what they are saying.
they don't understand that when you bomb a nation there are economic, political, international, and legal repurcausions. not to mention the fact that people, even innocent citizens, die. and when it comes to actually 'nuking' the land is destroyed and there is a very high risk for health problems in future generations.

absolutely not.
the whole goal of nuclear arms in the first place, is deterrent rather than offense.
anyone who uses them offensively will become rather unpopular real fast, and probably catch a few from neighboring countries of the target.

It is unthinkable to resort to nukes. Who exactly is a threat to us? We are the only remaining super power, the idea that somehow we could be manipulated into massive fear (again) is ridiculous.
