Well maybe this will put it in perspective.
I live in a rural area of a state with very strong laws regarding dogs. My neighbor has a fairly young dog and also some fairly young children---but children old enough to be aware.
If I want to show these children exactly how strong laws are---I could wait until they are playing outside and also wait until their dog strays one inch inside my property. And then quite legally kill their dog right in front of their eyes. I am quite sure it will teach those children that I am strong and resolute---and also send that strong message to their parents that they better not mess with me.
But maybe its the difference between a bleeding heart liberal like myself and some on this forum. Because I have no desire to kill dogs for petty reasons, no desire to impress young children with how strong I am, and I also point out that its why my neighbor and I have no problems with each other.
I'm not sure this is posted in the right place. Who has a desire to kill anyone?
All I am saying is Iran should not be trusted, especially with developing nuclear weapons. I don't care if your liberal or conservative in the face until you turn blue, you are completely naive if you think that
a) Iran can develop a nuclear program without being significantly checked by a separate
strict watchdog agency, uni-, bi-, multilaterally for all I care; or
b) Iran can develop a nuclear program while being checked by the United Nations weapons inspectors.
If you wish to call for blindly trust a nation who's supporters (read: fundamental islam) denounce and call for the end of an entire nation (I don't care how you translate it) with development of a "peaceful" nuclear program, who claims they are not developing weapons, be my guest, I, for one, albeit do not support the current administration wholly, would say that would be a
dumb idea.
N.B. While I am not saying that what was done in the past with the establishment of Israel was the best thing to do, I do not see any reason to say "ok, let them attack isreal then" which apparently you (or similar minded people to yourself) do.
