If we had Iran's military capacity, we wouldn't be pulling stuff like this, if Iran had our military capacity, they'd be a lot more aggressive with their agenda.

Until an individual does not have to contact a group of bikers to protect their deceased homosexual son or daughter who has died in the service of fighting for their nation against anti-gay groups, then you can contact me back.
And for the record, I live next door to a pastor who is a generous and kind man. My mindset of religion is neutral at the very best, yet I cannot deny both sides of the coin concerning the good and the bad of both the religious and the secular. So before you stand upon your pedestal and preach whatever mindset against me, maybe you need to step back a bit and reconsider your thoughts about my lack of post history throughout this thread until now. In other words: I can't call it a chicken without seeing the egg and where it comes from.

Does Iran have problems? Sure. But I'd imagine by in large many of the things we think as heinous the Iranian public would think were fair. It's a fairly conservative Islamic country don't forget. I'd imagine a good portion of the population are against homosexuality, just as a good portion are in the US. Thankfully that portion doesn't have as much power to enact on their beliefs by way of laws. Though same sex marriage still being illegal in many/most(?) states might run counter to that belief.

while I dont want to insult you, it seems like you want the clearly unethical iranian goverment to gain nukes because they are from a muslim country that you feel connected too, and you havent really thought of what the consequences would be. |

So you really think that statement is saying that saying the regime should not exist is really calling for a two state solution? (which wouldn't change the israeli regime)

Without those nukes Iran will always be under threat of annihilation. Even if they followed protocol and did things by the book (see Iraq). As oppose to justifying out right wars or tactics that risk the lives of millions of innocent civilians? Hmmm...

And the stuff you talk about, human rights etc. That stuff has to change from the inside as it did in my country (the UK) and yours. Not from threat of war or actual war. As has been seen time and time again, by in large such wars just end with more conservative governments or more political turmoil further down the line. Iran itself is the very example of that. It did once have a secular democratic government. But the US/UK did away with it and instead instilled the Shah. Why? Because at the time Iran wanted to nationalise their oil which was previously controlled by a British company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ir..._d%27%C3%A9tat Read up on it. Your're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Especially if you have those valuable resources. |

Iran has some of the most women's rights out of all of the Middle East. Far more rights than any of our "allies" over there. |

Who put Saddam into power? The west. Who put the Taliban in power? The west. Who put the current Iranian Regime in power? It was result of the west imposing another one of their fucking puppets in the region. Again and again and again, you guys never fucking learn. They don't like the west because they fuck everything up. Sure you can't change the past, and you "act in the present" but ignoring the crimes that the west has done to them is fucking bullshit. Fucking warmongering apologist son of a bitch. And for the fucking record, the last time Iran was in a War, it was because we told Saddam to go to war with them, with the weapons we gave them. I'm fucking sorry, but you've got to be on some fucking high horse to believe they shouldn't have nuclear weapons to dissuade any more bullshit from the good ole US of A, let alone nuclear energy. This shit infuriates me. Fucking god damn police of the fucking world. |

the sanctions now are indiscriminate. they're not crippling though, fortunately, Iran is too important for eastern countries to not do business with, so the impact of the sanctions regime wont be as devastating for civilians as it was in Iraq.

moreover the invasion of iran by the united states has only become a real threat after iran has started seeking nuclear arms, before that no gave a shit what iran did, even though it funded the US's enemys, the reason for the nukes is much more the likley for the purpose of spreading the iranian goverments ideals and world view then fear for their people. and because numerous people have brought it up in this thread, israel is in no way a real threat to iran, the most they will ever do is bomb specific locations which post a strategic threat to israel, anyone saying anything else is just making things up |

I don't know what your debating with me at this point. The sanctions are targeted at the country to get them to come to the table. The lack of business with the the west will hurt them. As will the upcoming oil embargo.

you're saying that Iranian nukes will help them crush dissent at home, since they can do whatever they want without fear of invasion. (Im not sure there's any historical precedent of a regime with nukes being less vulnerable to internal collapse, so the factual basis of what you're saying is pretty dubious) Im saying that indiscriminate sanctions that hurt civilians and force them to rely more heavily on the regime for basic necessities will do more to hurt the chances of the regime collapsing from within.

Only because those bastard Commies were taking it over! WE FREED AFGHANISTAN AGAIN! After we helped establish the Taliban as the ruling party there to fight the Commies... they ended up being bad people though! WE GAVE IRAQ FREEDOM! After putting them through a terrible dictator we placed there. WE LIBERATED THE PEOPLE OF LIBYA! Resulting in a quick ~25k thousand deaths and safe havens for extremists. The policy for the middle east will never change. It hasn't for the past century, and it STILL won't. I'm not putting all the blame on the "white man," sectarian violence has fucked up the region for centuries, but the meddling REALLY doesn't help. I'm not even talking about them! I'm debunking the bullshit claims you and your group keep spewing out. |

Hey phosphor112, there was some goober in another thread claiming that the usa DOES NOT have a habit of CREATING problems (i.e. biological weapons) and then has to spend millions to clean them up later.
Given your knowledge on various Western interventions, do you think that happens regularly? "That" meaning the possibility of the US having weapons/etc that eventually get out of hand and have to be reigned in. The goober denied this was a possibility. |

What it did was make the centrifuges speed up to the point of sabotage, but log i tas though it was operating normally. So the scientists would see mechanical failure but operationally the logs would say they were operating as normal.

You're talking about the region (the Middle East). You even specifically mentioned the US's allies!
Glad you admit that Israel, as the region's only fair and open democracy, is vastly superior when it comes to human rights than ALL of it's neighbors.

OHHHHH, cherry picking America's allies in the region. So Iran's human rights abuse isn't that bad compared to other Islamic states, but compared to the rest of the World it's absolutely horrific and deplorable. Gotcha.
Anyway, you still admit Israel is vastly superior on the human rights thing, yeah? I mean that's the important part I'm taking out of your post.

"Compared to the rest of the world" Israel is a fucking nightmare, so you can't use that point of view in your favor. Displacement of thousands of people. Preventing AND attacking a flotilla that had medical and food aid, mind you this was all done in international waters. Use of WP against Palestinians. They aren't innocent like you paint them out to be.

Don't really care about the political talk - but I think this was a pretty amazing program from a technological standpoint.
Also, if the choice (whether you agree with it or not) was to: 1) Bomb Iran or 2) Infect Nuclear Program with targeted virus to disable/slow- clearly, choice 2 is preferable from a loss of life and stability standpoint. |

Israel also has nukes and has bombed it's neighboring countries throughout the decades. They're as big of threat in that region as anyone else. |

Iran sympathizes and gives comfort to other terrorist groups. If Iran gets nukes, it will trigger an arms race. |

Hix: now you've just descended into childish fanboy silliness. Replace "Israel" with your gaming console of choice and "Iran" with a company you dont like and your last few posts would read like something written on GameFAQs by a 14 year old in a heated fanboy war.
