I don't want to sound anti American here but........?

Richie

Everyone has an inherent right to defend themselves,so in theory it would be fair to say that everyone can have nukes but if a country threatens to wipe another one of the face of the earth as soon as they have the nuclear capability like Iran have then maybe we should consider stopping them but diplomacy has to be used first doesn't it?

Maria

You're totally right. We don't have the right to get into anybody's business. I miss the day's when we only got into wars and stuff because we were needed to help others, not just cuz we think we're the moral police of the world. I'm an American, born and bred, and I know we're just a country of hypocrits and capitalists.

Marmot

Good one!! I think the same!! Is like they one to be always on top (as the biggest power in the world). They just don't want anyone else to take their place!! Sad but true!!

Of course it is hypocritical, but they don't give a damn and neither does the UK in supporting them.

Memnoch

Most other countries (including Iran and North Korea) signed a treaty that saying that they would not create or test nuclear weapons. Take it for what you like but that is the reason.

MaryAnn

of course not :) you think the government likes competition? why do you think there are bumper stickers out there that say dont steal? the government hates competition.

dickbosh

the bushbunch is currently refurbishing our old nukes and starwars is currently being worked on.
WE ARE NOT DISMANTALING NUKES--we are refurbishing!
WE ARE 1936!

Cant believe the facist small minded responses to this, eg. America is somehow preventing trouble by having nuclear weapons, how dumb is that. American foreign policy patently represents the biggest threat to the security of us all.

I am sure most US citizens are of sound mind and disagree with US foreign policy but the state apparatus is an international joke.

i am not american, but i am against the fact that so many countries have nuclear weapons, because if every other country had access to nuclear weapons then we are inviting the third world war, and that is not good for all of us. the way america is dealing with this, i am not in favor with, because no one gave them the right to be the high council of the world, after all look at Iraq. that was a bad move from america, bring war,wreak havoc, and profit! how sick is that?

For just one example, when the U.S. built these weapons, was response to another country ( Russia) that had them. Second example, yes we used it to end a world war. But we have never used it offensively to threaten another country. Iran on the other hand has threatened to destroy Israel. Rogue nations that have not a scrap of peaceful intentions should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. The same goes for North Korea. That country cannot even feed its own people and wants to spend money on nuclear weapons. last of all, the last time I checked the United nations voted against these two countries to have nuclear weapons. it was not just the U.S. Are you even thinking of using the logic that if the U.S. used nuclear weapons then everyone should have them ? Maybe peace should be the worlds right to dictate that no rogue countries should have them to destroy peace.

America likes to police the world and they should just worry about their own gun crimes and drug problems instead of what goes on in other countries, if the worlds an imperfect place then the problem starts with America.

You may not "want to sound anti-American" but you certainly do sound that way.

America has never challenged any civilized nation from obtaining Nukes. But those that openly make statements like "We want to be the catalyst for Armageddon" or "We will destroy Israel as soon as we are able to do so." I would hope the USA or someone tries to put road blocks in front of them to slow them down from acquiring these weapons.

You have to admit that anyone that will cut someones head off while praising God the whole time has issues. This is the culture of Iran and many other Muslim countries. Would you want people like this to have nuclear weapons? I think not.

The Muslim religion is one that is at the core of discontent and violence throughout the world. It should be a banned religion or at least shunned by the worlds population.

obiviously america knows how to read statistics(i hope) the highest crime rate in the world is in america more then 88000 murders in 1998 and rate of different crimes still growin dude they shud solve their own probs 1st then worry about afghanistaan iraq lebenon palestine and now iran

ligabdan03

why not there are quite a few others that are anti american looks like if john howard has his way australia will become a satellite state of US of A i agrree to a certain point america has the bodies and the money to spend fighting for the right of oil but the average joe blow will always be behind the eight ball but i think america used the right weopon to end the 2nd ww i wish they had used it in korea and vietnam may have saved a lot of useless killing

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, America became the world's only super power and people thought of it as the world's policeman.

A policeman is supposed to enforce the law, but not create it. But sadly, America has sort of assumed the role of policeman and law writer. It is not healthy and it is not good.

My yahoo tool bar disappeared?

I think the proper goal is total nuclear disarmament for ever country.

Unfortunately it seems impossible without a real world government.

But if the UN could decree it, without the veto of the few, (all nuclear powers) maybe it could be done.

vdv_desantnik

just a lot

fwdnine

America is trying to be the worlds police orgination since the collapse of the soviet union, and it should stop! It should also stop trying to tell other countries to get rid of nukes when it already fried enough with its own.

mar036

Because they can

chandra r

I wish it was the other way around but its not..... I have served a total of 6 tours from bosnia to iraq. ARE ASSES ARE GETTING KICKED> ALSO REDNECKS PICK ON IRAN OR NORTH KOREA SEE WHAT HAPPENS>

The problem here is that America alone holds over half the world's wealth. & in this imperfect world, wealth = power. Consequently, America uses this power to bully other nations and decide what is right and what is wrong. If anyone objects, theyll b the next nation 2 be blasted flat to the ground.

tttplttttt

Don't want to sound anti-American.... right, talk about a raving hypocrite.

All this means is the Brits are awake and typing.
We'd have to be crazy to want our enemies to get nukes.
Only a bunch of bigoted morons wouldn't understand that.

Jack Daniels, you should take your own advice, hypocrite.

jeanimus

America thinks it the world police. And being white and western they are bound to be right! And we toddle along behind them parotting everything they say. Bush said the other day he would miss Blair. Gimmme a gun and I wont.

trueblue3167

This is going to be a fun topic until a foreign power or terrorist organization detonates a nuclear weapon on American soil... but the liberals will still stick to their guns.

Proactive vs. Reactive.

Proactive means we seek out the threat before it becomes full, reactive means people have to die before we take action. I'll take proactive, thanks.

chris37mtx

give me a break. America did not invade anyone it was that coward bush. also if you think that most Americans agree with anything that that idiot bush has done then you have not talked to many Americans. also most Americans don't give a damn if other countrys have nuclear power or even wepons to defend themselves. most of us think that they should take a nuclear missle and shove it up bush's ***.

Mr. McGhee,don't make us angry.
You wouldn't like us when we're angry.

Mr. DJ

The thought of nations that hate us having nuclear weapons
