[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 49334, member: 441"] Re: running commentary on middle east policy and news. I find it interesting that the official US policy is that "every man has the right to be armed - it works as a deterrent against criminals who want to do bad things" - if there was real merit to this logic wouldn't it be a shortcut to world peace to just hand out nukes to EVERYONE :lol:. I also find it interesting that Israel officially tries to justify an attack on Iran now by saying they need to do it before it's too late; if they wait until they have nukes, they'll be deterred from attacking them. No shit, they're called deterrant weapons for a reason when "we" have them. Making these statements is much like shooting yourself in the foot since they're basically justifying the attacks on themselves in the past as those were carried out "before it was too late". The attacks failed, however, judging by the fact that Israel has nukes. [/QUOTE]
