Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
All countries are at war at some point in history, Arab nations definitely not excluded. If a radicalized militia takes over the government ast some point, then what? Do they give up their nukes or are they put in safe holding?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
How easy do you think it is for the government to roll over in front of a militia?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
I am talking about the future of mankind - like radical elements starting a nuclear war that will destroy life on earth - not the European way of life. I'd rather not see that future, thank you very much.
Semi,
These guys are like the Russians in the 1950's. They think that having lots of explosives guarantees power, a seat at the table. All it gurantees is Mutually Assured Destruction. No Middle Eastern country dare use a nuke, or the US will guarantee the destruction of the country that launches it, Mecca, Medina, whatever. To some degree it assures that whatever despotic regime is in power will stay in power, as no one would risk the chaos of change, as the risks have gotten exponentially too high. Nothing would assure that Saudi Arabia will never see an election like a nuke.
We are already seeing that in Pakistan. Do we care more for the stability of the world, or peoples right to vote? I choose life, and a subservient Pakistani people who have no hope of electing their own leaders.
Sly move on the part of the Arabs. This is the most cunning way to avoid elections ever conceived.
Nukes did not assure the success of the Communists in Russia. They will not guarantee power for Muslims. This is simply testicles in overdrive. No one has really thought through the consequences.
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
mutual destruction holds no fears
the only people who'll crack are western cowards with ulterior motives with no need to argue the points their are taking up.
when fighting for the right to live, speak and be heard theres nothing better then good ol mushroam cloud offers
besides pakistan needs another muslim country equipped for its own security. these lot must be in agony watching the news, always focusing on pakistans nukes. with another country equipped the pain of watching the news and any wet dreams about attacking NWFP, middle east policy will quickly disappear
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
Its not the blind support, if you haven't noticed many also support NK for nukes, is that racism too? We want them to have nuke so they don't get mauled, simple.
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
Its YOUR media and president who sees everything unfamiliar as unstable, life-threatening, dangerous for humanity. We KNOW that all bombs are 'dangerous' for every human being, but guess who is taking lives in name of "saving lives"?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
as far as highest concentration of extremists on earth, lets nto forget afghanistan, iraq, and Israel. the events there are showing the power fo extremists. the extremists power in US seems to have weakned after the mid term elections, you know the evagevilical types
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
That's much worse than racism. That's saying any unstable idiot deserves nukes just because they stand up to US. Who cares if they end up initiating a nuclear winter, as long as they stand up to US, right? How did such an oppressive regime that keeps its people in poverty and hunger earn your sympathy? Is it tyrannical regimes that receive your favor? Or is it because they are all testosterone and no brains or compassion? That seems to earn a lot of kudos around here.
Would it be such a bad thing for NK to enjoy the sucess and freedoms as SK? Why don't they deserve that instead of a rogue government with dangerous nukes?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
That is much worse than racism, right, is it as bad as getting bombed for not having anything to fight invaders?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
Is that your extent of knowledge of history and world affairs? Please study the wars of the past century and take stock of where you, I and the rest of the world would be if the US didn't 'take lives in name of saving lives'. What language would you be speaking? What type of government would we be living under?
How long has man invaded other lands without the option of ending the world? How would Islam have spread so far if nukes were an option?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
In 1991, Iraq had a very well developed and hidden WMD program. If Saddam had fallen from a palace coup, or an uprising, Muqtada Al-Sadr today might have Biological, Chemical or even Nuclear Weapons today. I cannot fathom anyone less deserving of weapons of Mass Destruction than 'Ol Dirty Teeth.
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
The premise of your statement is false.
If Saddam had a nukes, he would still be in power, and ironically, Iraq would be better off than the horrible state it's in today.
Re: Gora Hypocracy
It is amazing to see these white folks acting all holy and being against noooooooks in mooslim countries, while whites are the only ones in history to have used nooooooooooks in history against japan.
The whites are B!tching about Persia trying to have nooooooks, but the US vetos any UN resolution asking for inspection of Israeli noooooooooooks.
Moooslim countries should try to understand that the white man is able to take advantage of us and bully us only because we are technologically and economically backwards. We need to focus on education and importing technology so we can ourselves develop high tech industries and defensive stuff.
White man's colonial orgasm is coming to an end.
Sooner or later people like Ohioguy will become extinct like the dinasour cause whites will become minority in America in 40 years and and the soon to be non-white US majority will not be willing to do any adventures for the sake of israel.
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
If Saddam had a nukes, he would still be in power, and ironically, Iraq would be better off than the horrible state it's in today.
Your statement based on his premise is false. Saddam having nukes wouldn't have stopped an internal coup. Pretty Boy Muqtada would be sitting on that arsenal. The same possibility as if any dictatorship in a country of extremists obtain nukes.

Since you love to make your observations of these issues based on "white" vs "non-white", does that mean that mooooslims (non-white?) are not able to become technologically, economically or educationally advanced?" Is that a problem with mooooslims or is it whitey's fault? And why is non-Muslim = white and Muslim = non-white? Is it Islam's fault for not appealing to whitey? Or is whitey just plain evil?
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
with close to 30 yrs in absolute power, what makes you think he was vulnerable to a coup?
Even if you are right an internal coup would have meant the continuation of the Baathist regime, and 'black teeth Moqtada' would not have even been anywhere near the position he is in now.
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
Is that why US didn't go on and remove him at that time?

We are talking about post-nuke-development history here. In pre-nuke-history no one would be touched if they had good weapons-equipped armies/navies/air-forces.
Re: Gora Hypocracy
Well I am not saying every thing in moooolim countires is the whitey’s fault. But I like the majority of the third world believe that the whitey has imposed these dictators on our countries. These dictators act like uncle tom and keep a lid on their people for the whitey and the whitey in return gives political support to these dictators.
Trust me I love democracy. But it is the whitey who has been supporing dictators in latin america , africa , asia and so on.
There was democracy in Iraan way back in the 1950’s but the british overthrew the goverment cause the iraanians wanted to nationalized the oil industry and stop the british from leeching iraaan’s resources.
There was democracy in Chile in South America but the whitey had to support a military dictator named Augusto Pinochet cause he was friendly with the russians.
It is very simple to have peace the whitey needs to stop supporting dictators in the third world, and stop supporting the aparthied white settler colony called Israel. Israel is no different then white apartheid south africa. Both of these countries were built by whitey by force on the land that belonged to natives (palessstinians and blacks in south africa).
Re: 6 Arab states join nuclear race
Seminole and OG, do you actually think a militia coming into power is stupid enough not weigh the option of using a nuke with measuring the consequences. Please grow up. Please go see a physician for hysteria or paranoia.
Enemies change faces everyday, nukes are not developed specific to a country but rather a to deter a threat from any enemy.
