Answer 1

They will probably grant Iran "most favored nation" status and when there is an "accidental" nuke somewhere, blame the republicans.

Answer 2

I don't think anyone has a plan to deal with a nuclear Iran: we certainly cannot stop them. Or anyone else for that matter. The best we can do is basically buy off any emerging nuclear power (like Korea).

Not only is the military option politically impossible, but it would cause more trouble than it is worth. Politically, anything we could do would not mean enough to their internal power holders vs. the strength nucs give them internally.

Our only real hope is to become friends and trading partners. Why? This is the best and perhaps only way to prevent hostilities and foster some mutual respect. (Which is exactly the opposite of what the whole Iraq fiasco has been doing for us over the last 6 years.)

We have become a giant hypocrite nation with all our nucs, doing nuc research to make newer, 'better' bombs, and pulling out of important treaties. (Sure some of the treaties were outdated, but we could have-and still can-make updates.)

Answer 3

It's obvious this poster will only consider answers he agrees with ahead of time, but I'll post mine anyway for general consumption. If it makes you feel better, I'm neither a democrat nor a liberal. Maybe now he'll at least read it. :)

Iran is not our problem. Even if they CAN build a nuclear bomb, they don't have any sort of capability to launch it more than a few hundred miles, and are unlikely to develop that capability anytime soon.

That means as long as we secure our borders and international waters (something we COULD do if we spent our tax dollars smarter), they can't hurt us.

We are not obligated to be the world's policemen. Why we've chosen that responsibility over the last 60+ years is beyond me. So what do we care if Iran nukes Israel? That's their real target anyway. That's Israel's job to worry about and defend against.

Answer 4

Actually the return to nuclear proliferation began with Bush. He is the one that attempted to impose a double standard on the world that many nations have balked at by accelerating our nuclear development programs and asserting that while we have a right to nukes, no one else does.

The democrats had a plan and it was working until Bush dismantled it upon entering office and then unilaterally began tearing up treaties like the Weapons in Space, ABM and the Nuclear Test Ban treaties,

People need to get their facts straight on this one. Clinton began a program to dismantle nuclear weapons across the former soviet states that was doing a find job of eliminating the potential for these already existing nuclear weapons to be distributed into the terrorist marketplace.

Bush stopped payments to that program too, resulting in a unknown number more of *loose nukes*, which according to many security analysts have already exceeded 400 worldwide.

Thank the Neo Con-men that are stealing our money while compromising our security.

Answer 5

I don't know if the democrats have a plan,but,I sure hope bush has a better one then the one he had for Iraq. If we want every other country to do away with nuclear weapons, why don't we?
If we didn't have nuclear weapons how could we be called a "super power"? We keep turning this into a political tug-o-war. This is about one man screwing up royally.Does it really matter what political affiliation he has. He could be a democrat as well as a republican. Both parties have in essence turned their back on the people as far as I am concerned!!!

Answer 6

And How is it possible to deal with a nuclear USA? Oh, yes, the USA didn't use nuclear weapons since 1945 (though I am not sure the US has no plans. God forbid, to use it against Iran), but it use depleted uranium-not Iran. And when did Iran invade other countries? And when did an Iranian journalist write an article titled "Give war a chance"?

Answer 7

Now the bush administration is beating the war drums against Iran [create fear then attack]. And should the biggest bully be the only one on the block too have weapons of mass destruction. It makes it very easy for that bully to get carried away because the little guy doesn't have WMD, like Saddam.

Answer 8

they will pass a resolution in congress and consider the problem solved. When two major American cities go up in mushroom clouds from nukes hiding in Ryder trucks, they will then blame Bush for pissing them off in the first place. The President, either Hillary or Obama, will go on television with and with a phoney tear in their eye vow to get even. They then, if we are lucky, lob an ICBM with an empty warhead into some remote area of the desert, possibly scaring the bejesus out of a couple of sheep herders, to show the middle east we mean business. Then they will get back to work raising our taxes and jailing CEO's that employ us.

Answer 9

Disaster plans are virtually useless, because you never know exactly what the enemy is up to or when they are going to strike. For example , people know how devastating hurricanes can be, but even with the best preparations, it really amount to little if anything in the way of preventing human suffering and property damage.

Answer 10

No-one deserves to hold the power to destroy worlds. Not America, not Iran,

NO-ONE.

I'm only concerned about the survival of the world. You should be too. I would rather be able to accept anyone than have issues.
