if iran or any other arab nation had the weapons-capabilities of israel, would our gov declare them terrorists

Question

for obtaining those weapons?

Answer 1

Excellent point. No. Hypocrites live by turning a blind eye to things.

Answer 2

Yes, we would still call them terrorists. But it would change the way the situation was handled. With, say 120 nukes they could cause a lot of devestation. I'm not sure of the missile ranges with such warheads. But, say they just detonated them where they sit, the radiaton would cause considerable damage around the world. A thing to remember is that most if not all atamic fission bombs are dirtier than hydrogen fusion bombs, though less powerful.

But my bet for the future of warfare still goes to biological. The obvious benefit, anyone attacked, they can remove the remains of the bodies live in the homes, drive their cars, even work at their places of employment. No damage at all save for the minor staining and stench of the decaying bodies. The anthrax in 2001 had me concerned the means might have been reached. Apparently not though, but I have heard some pretty terrifying stories of antrax capability from the Army Germ Watfare Center at Ft. Detrick Maryland dating back to 1967. And development, investment and equipment so much less than that of atomic bombs.

And true Iran is not an Arab nation. They are Persian, they are Muslims but they dont speak the Arab language. They speak Farsi. Much of their desire for atomic weapons may be relater to a restoration of power such as in antiquity.

Answer 3

Israel isn't saying or doing anything to convert "infidels". Israel isn't saying or doing anything to drive non Jews "into the ocean".

There is no such thing as a "radical Muslim". If they follow the Quran, then everything they are doing is justified. So killing people who don't believe in Islam, is a normal state of affairs.

Making women cover every inch of their body, and treating them as cattle, is a normal Islamic belief.

Killing anyone including other Muslims, is ok, if the reason behind the killing is justified in the Quaran. Killing is an Islamic sacrament, much like the anointing of the sick, is a Catholic sacrament.

Answer 4

The Government considers Iran as terrorist. The Government knew for 6 years that they are a major threat to us. We got Iran surrounded. We are just waiting for the right time to do what is right.

Answer 5

The Muslims have attacked Israel at least 4 times since 1948, I have not seen the Israelis launch one war of agression. Who is the true problem here?

Answer 6

We seem to have a problem here in the good ol USA. We seem to think everyone is to think like us and have a government we tell them to have. Dont get me wrong. I love the good ol USA. I have no problem with the world being the world. We dont need to have a lot of enemies. Its true we support Israel,support Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kuwait, etc..
But we speak from both sides of our mouths. In Saudi Arabia women are still treated just like in Iran. Just like in Afganistan. The people are still whipped, executed, beaten, etc in public and in private. Torture is an everyday thing there. So what makes them better than Iran, what makes them better than North Korea. What about Iraq is better today than before we got there. Why have we not done something for the African countries that are killing millions, starving whole villages. We need to speak iron in our words. We need to speak words to live by and then live by them. So many politicians say what we want to hear and do the other. We will be the ones to create hatred against us. If we treat people right they will treat us right. We should stop all the backbiting even here at home. If we do not want countries to have nuclear plants then we should develop solar plants for them. Help build solar houses and places of buisness. We should help build solar cars for them. We should also do this at home also. The hell with exxon, mobil and chevron. Lets learn to live with the earth not fight on the earth. If we was to do this the world would look at us a lot differently and no one would be looking to bomb us. Do you think Russia is any different than us. They have nudie bars, drugs, prostitution, etc. But you dont see the terrorists attacking them like they do us. Its all about scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. If we did this then who cares if they get weapons since they would not use them. Now is the big question. Who as a political candidate running for president has these qualifications or even the smallest bit of grit to do this. none. They got rich living like this. Look around you and see what is in front of you and what you really want in this life. You will see the same thing everyone else in other countries want. A family, a good job, an education, and to be left alone.

Answer 7

It isn't that. Any nation has the right to arm themselves but it is what the said nation has done that says to the world whether they should be allowed to have nukes. Iran has armed and is supporting Hezbollah and Hamas, two world recognized terrorist organizations, they have a leadership that denies the Holocaust and has stated repeatedly they want to wipe out the Jews. They are not fit to have that kind of power in their hands.

Answer 8

yes, if the government thought they had malicious intent, otherwise no, which is why Israel is not considered a terrorist government because they have them for defense reasons like the US or any other stable nation

Answer 9

YES!!! because the majority of them would use them... Israel is a Democracy and the others around them want to wipe them off of the face of the planet... most even admit it.

Answer 10

It takes the intention or the history of using them against civilians to qualify them as terrorists, sorry you can pretend all sort of things would be the case but in the end reality prevails.
Israel is a terrorist state by the way as far as I'm concerned, they deliberately killed civilians in Lebanon because of 2 precious Israelis being kidnapped.
Their math goes like this
2 Israelis = All Lebanese.

Answer 11

Yeh especially if they publicly said they are going to use them to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth!!!" Fortunately most countries are not hell bent on killing everyone who is non muslim.
