Iran are ok.

[Zapatista]

So now Iran don't have nuclear weapons.

I'm a little disappointed.

[Rossfan]

Did ye ever see anything as stupid as War Criminal Bush today trying to think of something to say about this subject.

[Hereiam]

Iran never had any. They had to con the Americians into beliving they were developing them so America would think twice about invading them, which is what the next step will be now that their little spys have done all there work. Iran is the main goal for this war on terror, it is the middle of the "middle east" and if Bush doesn't get a hold of it soon his world dominatation is over.

The yanks are fast becoming less believable than the british govt and that takes some doing.

[Zapatista]

So how can we believe them now when they say Iran don't have Nukes?

The yanks are fast becoming less believable than the british govt and that takes some doing.

I think they long passed that point Stew

Big deal if any country has nukes anyway- they know they're gonna be fucked if they use them

How so?

Mutually Assured Destruction -eg if Iran acquired nuclear capabilities and (as American government propaganda would have us believe) wanted to nuke Israel, then either Israel or the US would send one right back at them.  Which is one reason they definitely wouldn't bother.

[Zapatista]

Then it is a big deal.

On a slightly different note... What is the craic with the value of the American Dollar? Great for Holiday goers and american exports but must be hard for them to import anything? Will it gain value when Bush goes?

[The Iceman]

check out a peoples history of the united states by Howard Zinn

American foreign policy is incredibly ridiculous

expansion expansion expansion

protect small countries where it benefits america to do so

attack small countries or fund a dictatorship or support another army attacking a small country if it benefits america to do so

all in the name of freedom

Iceman I cant quite make it out, is that himself of the murders and suicide on your avatar?

[The Iceman]

no - its The Ice Man Chuck Liddell - he's a UFC fighter (i fancy myself as a bit of an MMA man) I taught candyman everything he knows

As has been quoted and cliched many times, the only really dangerous nuclear power is the US and still the only outfit to use nukes on civilian populations. Hereiam is absolutely correct. For example, If Bush had really believed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, he would never have invaded, too f@ckin risky. His da conned Saddam into invading kuwait the first time round ffs!!
Notice he hasn't made too many moves on Korea...much as he'd like to. Scared shitless of them, that's why. I've no big time for Iran, but i hope they do have nuclear capabilities, if thats what it take to keep those money hungry, corrupt animals from gaining absolute power.
I think it was Orwell (though i'm open to correction here) that said, one thing worse than 2 super powers, is 1 super power.
