Exactly, we keep them around mostly for intimidation. Atleast, thats what I'd like to think. I honestly can't see a nuclear holocaust happening. Ever. I'm very optimistic like that.

No, it isn't our business. It's extremely unlikely that ANY government is going to use nuclear weapons, because we all know that just one country launching ONE nuke at another can trigger a nuclear holocaust. And while Iran's leaders are overzealous, they certainly aren't bat s*** insane enough to actually USE nukes. It's far more likely that the U.S. will be attacked by somebody smuggling in a nuke bought off the black market rather than an organized government, no matter how corrupt, launching an ICBM at us. Also, a lot of countries don't like us, even our allies are beginning to hate us. Does that mean we should go to war with them because we are the only ones allowed to have Nuclear Weapons? Uhh, yes it is our business. I don't care how unlikely it is that any government would resort to using nuclear weapons; it is still our business when a country that doesn't like use obtains weapons that have the potential to devastate our country. And I never recommended going to war with countries with nuclear weapons; I only stated that it is our business when a country that has a considerable amount of animosity towards us (or any country for that matter) tries to obtain nuclear weapons. That mindset is why other countries hate us in the first place, we have absolutely no right to go and tell other countries what they can and can not have, even if they don't like us. And the point of my original post is that I remember during one of Obama's speeches he said something along the lines of "Iran can't have nukes, and we will make sure that they don't." It is NOT our business to police the world. Also, you said "I never recommended going to war with countries with nuclear weapons; I only stated that it is our business when a country that has a considerable amount of animosity towards us (or any country for that matter) tries to obtain nuclear weapons." If not going to war to stop them, what do you reccomend doing? If another country wants nukes that badly, they are going to get them. Eventually. And sorry for hijacking your thread, TC. I'll buy you a cake to make up for it.
I can picture it in my mind. He's lying on the ground in extreme pain, the police come over and throw the ticket onto him and say "See you in court, scum bag. Teach you not to break the law" and then they walk off.xTheExploited
Strangely, I think this is the coolest thing EVER! I will now spend every waking moment of my life watching a barren desert. Who knows, maybe something interesting might happen! Like, a tumbleweed might roll past the camera! SWEET!
[QUOTE="FoOd77"]Sure, I believe he'll pull the troops out of IRAQ, but I wouldn't be surprised if they all just get moved to Afghanistan, or even Iran. Didn't Obama say something a while back about how we can't allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, and if Iran gets nukes we are going to take action? Come on, it's not our business to say who can and can't have nuclear weapons.-Sun_Tzu-

What two people would I want on the island with me? Two average human beings, maybe a little bit on the chunky side. You know, for when I get hungry. Honestly, who wants to eat nothing but coconuts and mangos? Not I!
