condoning the use of nuclear weapons for any reason is appalling.
For us to be the only country to use nuclear weapons on humans, then try to regulate who can have them is insane and hypocritical ...
though honestly, no one should have them. If anything, the world should have sanctioned us until we had no more nuclear weapons ...
and they would be justified by our own twisted political logic to pre-emptively invade us if we didn't. We dropped not one, but two nuclear weapons on civilian targets. Disgusting part of our history, and nothing to gloat about.
The U.S. is a great country, when we are not robbing citizens of their freedoms and minding our own business in the world.
Iran is strong, and easily defended from a troop surge. A war with them will be like nothing the war loving posters believe it will be.
You think 4000 troops in 5 years is bad ...
that all the technology will protect us. I would rather not risk you being wrong, thank you.
