I did not say “wipe them off the map”. Iran said that Israel needed to be destroyed, and despite your lie (or wrong information) that is not a misquote or mistranslated whatsoever. Further, you avoided my point that Israel did nothing to Iran during the Iran/Iraq war, nor have they shown hostility. I don’t agree with Israel’s unchecked nuclear arsenal, but I don’t believe in justifying nuclear proliferation based on “Well they have them why shouldn’t we”. Israel is no threat to peace.

“I don’t think nations like Pakistan, India, North Korea, should have had nuclear weapons but we have to deal with now,”
Why? Because their not ‘white’ countries? Because their not trustworthy with them? They might bomb another country, like America did?
Thats such an ignorant post, your fine with western countries having nuclear weapons but you have a problem with other countries namely non white. This is the same ideology of the western countries, you like having people below you

Your really brainwashed. Irans president never said he wants to wips israel off the map, that speech was taken out of context as is everything else by the media. If he wanted to wipe them off the map he would have done it by now, theyve got plenty of missiles.
Iran has constantly said it doesnt need nukes its even a signatory of the NPT unlike israel with its undeclared nuclear payload.
Maybe america should focus on israel who is the only threat to peace in the middle east. But Iran has oil

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER WAR and the US is reducing its military drastically now that the war in Iran is over. This is not NEWS this is Ron Paul propaganda. Paul’s “Other people have nuclear weapons so why shouldn’t Iran” just shows that he is an ideologue whose ideas would lead to world nuclear proliferation. It scares me that Paul has so much influence on Youtube and it’s propaganda, it’s not news. This crisis is Iran’s fault completely, not the US.

This issue is not about war, this is about stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. If we use weak rationalizations (“well they have them so why shouldn’t we”) then each country in the world should have nuclear weapons using that alleged “logic”. Israel posed no threat to Iran. When Iran was weakest, fighting Iraq, did Israel get involved? NO! It’s IRAN calling for the DESTRUCTION of Israel, being in the grips of fanaticism that is the threat to world peace. They CREATED this crisis.

Further, the US has plenty of sources for oil, Saudi Arabia said they could easily double their production. The US is against Iran having nuclear weapons, as is Saudi Arabia and most of the world. It is not just the US. Pakistan stated they will then give nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia, so we’re looking at nuclear proliferation and that’s not good. I don’t think nations like Pakistan, India, North Korea, should have had nuclear weapons but we have to deal with now, not rationalize on the past

No one is talking about INVADING Iran. Stopping them from developing nuclear weapons does not involve INVASION. Further, the US originally pushed Hussein out of Kuwait (he STARTED it in case you’ve forgotten) and did not invade Baghdad under Bush Sr. Hussein kept playing games and issuing calls for assassination of our president. Hussein is responsible for Iraq, whether the WMD claim was an excuse or not.

but to claim that Iran is dangerous and America peaceful, is just self congratulatory and untrue. That is the point being made.
America advocates for self determination of a country while invading. revisionist history says a lot of others have been benefited. in actuality America has benefited.

We made a mistake with Vietnam, mostly out of paranoia about the spread of communism, particularly after the Korean war. Note that the Soviets gobbled up Eastern Europe (and kept them poor) so the US was trying to stop a perceived domino effect. STILL..a mistake. But you make it sound as if all we do is cause wars, when many wars where not caused by us. Further, Hussein brought about his own destruction. The US has made a lot of mistakes, but they’ve done a lot of good, which benefited others.

France is the 4th largest weapons dealer on the planet but they say they want peace. Really? As for the US involvement in war, we were criticized by the Europeans for our late entry into BOTH World Wars, neither of which we started. We liberated many nations fighting with the allies against the Nazis (France, italy, Greece, Belgium). Japan attacked us and invaded China under a dictator king.

The Japanese were ANYTHING but innocent. Israel never attacked Iran, and even when Iran was weak while fighting Iraq, Israel did NOTHING. Israel is not a threat to Iran, and Iran doesn’t need nuclear weapons. I do think that Israel should do what they feel is right, and I don’t think we need involve ourselves, but I don’t agree that Iran should be able to develop nuclear weapons. That results in proliferation (S.Arabia will get them from Pakistan).

Zionist hate us for our freedom. The NDAA, the patriot act, homeland security, are all creations of Zionist. Zionist hate the Palestinians, because they want to be free. Once we lose our freedom, they will call us “terrorist”. Zionist fear the truth, because the truth will keep us free. Zionist want to dominate and control, to the detriment of all others. They are the greatest threat to humanity.

America & Europe vs China in trying to secure the remaing largest sources of the worlds crude markets. Iran sells mostly to China these days. American & Europe willing to start another war for the likes of BP, Mobile, Exxon ect. America is fucked up. The truly sad part is it’s the Republicans who are pushing this angle the most using potential nuclear armament of Iran as an excuse to grab another crude oil export nation for the likes of BP & Exxon. Why isn’t America invading N Korea or Pakistan?

There can never be peace. You can never make every human happy so there will always be those who will fight for their cause….whether for resources, land or ideals. Decreasing our military presence around the world may usher in a period of peace, but then again, it may embolden others to increase their military presence. I don’t know the consequences of a scaled back military, but I do know a law that have stood the test of time….might makes right.

The “Dangerous Iranians” Have NOT Attacked another Country in hundreds of years; During this time the “Peaceful americans” Have attacked several Countries murdering millions of innocent Men Women & Children in the process,The “Peaceful america” is the only Country that has used nuclear bombs when they murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Hiroshima & Nagasaki,The u.s spends billions on weapons & then has the audacity to claim they want peace,LMFAO.
