I still can't believe some yanks think they can just throw a nuke at a country and go home for cookies and milk.
It's called FALLOUT you fools! And it does'nt stay where you dropped it!
It could drift over in to YOUR backyard then you'd actually have to deal with one of your horrible creations and not just have some poor folk sitting on oil in some other part of the world deal with it! (Depleted Uranium anyone?!) not to mention if the US launches, so would everyone else, so its end game there.
YOU CANNOT JUST NUKE A COUNTRY AND GO HOME TO BED!
ITS CALLED "The Environment" and YOU LIVE IN IT TOO!
THUS..... your NUKES ARE USELESS! A USELESS WEAPON! A BIG FAT PLASTIC SWORD!

Man.....just hear what you are saying. Oh your country is SO GREAT it can destroy everyone, just put the buttons, right! This is the kind of talk that I hate. Should think of the people that are in it, they don't have a clue of what is going on or what their leader does. But yeah, just wipe it out.
No words for you......!

Maybe it's because Bush is afraid other countries can battle him equaly and they are not the only super power anymore? So you mean that basicly your country is the only one that is aloud to build these things?

JIMC5499,
You say that North Korea is the only threath to South Korea and Japan. Don't you think Japan is capable to defend theirselves. Why should the US be involved in this? Maybe because if they invade North Korea and they have enough troops stationed that Japan will be easier to fight too if it comes so far?
The whole point is that the US is afraid other countries will get the same weapons that they have and they can no longer call themselves THE super power.
I do believe the US wants global domination, infact they have that already and they will do anything to keep that.
You have a firm belief that the US would never take this route and furthermore the leadership of Iran and North Korea believe it as well, otherwise they wouldn't be spouting off the crap that they are now. But what if mine country would start to build something like that? Will you also threath us the same way. Yes ofcourse, because you want to be the only one, so when it comes that far you can threath anyone.

Your question "what if mine country were to build something like that?" would be easier to answer if I knew what country you are from.

Rai 76 you are absolutely correct. The Leaders of the United States want to maintain and/or get more power. Buy controlling who has technology and weapons they feel they get to be Big kid on the Block. The idealistic solution is to just have everyone get rid of nuclear weapons but seeing as that isn't going to happen safegaurds need to be in place to keep rogue states and individuals from aquiring these weapons.
We have to at the minimum protect ourselves, but use of force against a soverign nation before they have actually aggressed on you is wrong in my opinion. Sanctions as well are in my opinion wrong because it doesnt hurt the people in power it hurts the citizens who many times are not in control of thier nation. Sanctions are like the Whipping boys of Old England. Royal child gets in trouble you beat the whipping boy. Royal kids remain spoiled. Rogue states continue to hate us. I mean common.
But thats just my opinion. Great thread
The point I am trying to make here isn't the right of Iran or North Korea to have nuclear weapons. Personally I don't care. It is when the leadership of those countries state that they have intentions of using nukes when and if they get them that concerns me. As far as I know the leadership of the Neatherlands has never made a statement about it using nukes or even that it desires to have nukes. If it were to start a nuclear weapons program I wouldn't have the same concern that I do with Iran or North Korea.
