America is weak and if Iran actually gets a nuke (hahah it won't) then America would be RIP. America is so small and weak and defenseless.

I just wonder what these people expect a nuclear Iran to do. Immediately nuke Israel, the country allied with multiple countries who have nukes of their own?

I'm sure Iran has plenty of assholes in its government, but ultimately these guys like their position and aren't going to risk nuclear war.

I guess this is the problem with thinking everyone from the Middle East is a sociopathic terrorist.

The main point of preventing a nuclear Iran is to stop the spread of nuclear proliferation throughout the Middle East, as well as the world. Were Iran to begin producing a stockpile of nuclear weapons, then other Arab states would want to build their own nuclear weapons as a deterrent. South Korea also wants nuclear weapons as a deterrent against North Korea, Japan wants them because of China.

So if we stand by and let the Iranians - a government diametrically opposed to many Western nations' - create a nuclear weapons program of their own, then every country in their neighborhood may decide they need deterrent closer to home than Europe or the US. In addition, we then can't really make the argument to our allies that they should not pursue nuclear deterrent when we've allowed a nation we've treated as hostile for decades do it.

The fear of this cascade effect is very strong in the international community as well as in the US. It's strong enough that if this initial deal does fall through then war with Iran becomes nearly inevitable. That's the thing a lot of Republicans are dancing around on the subject. They want the deal to fall through, and they want a war with Iran. This is also Israel's stance.

If the deal holds, and more complicated things like how much fuel they can have, how much they can use over a certain time, how many centrifuges they can keep, and how well they cooperate with the IAEA all go well, then we stop the cascade effect and bring Iran closer to rejoining the international community again. Really, Obama does deserve a lot of credit for this if it works out.

The scary thing: If Romney wins in 2012, we might already be at war with Iran. Might have been a very important election historically.

I'll just get a bunch of guys, take them where no one can judge them for their male choices, and put them in a club together and let what happens happen free of women at all.

Again a very likpatous story

"Unless of course any of that money was wasted by the Department of Defense, in which case I'm preparing to call anyone bothered by this a 'stupid hippie liberal traitor.'"

Actually I looked this up because I was curious what it was about :

http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-15-482T

It seems like the issue is that some agencies accidentally keep making payments to deceased individuals, because of problems with the SSA in organizing the data and getting it to other agencies. One could say that maybe spending more money to improve this or even hiring more workers might solve the problem, but as we all know that money would just go to faster internet so that the extra employees could watch even more porn. Best to just fire a bunch of people working at the SSA and cut their budget, that's sure to solve the problem!

Didn't this proliferation already happen when we allowed a nuclear Israel? Like all the other states in the region felt they had to develop some deterrent?

Israel built its nuclear program in the 50's with help from France and Britain. They also bought components from other countries. This was the beginning of the Cold War and 20 years before non-proliferation. Ironically it was also around this same time that the first nuclear reactors came to Iran and Pakistan. They were American research reactors.

That's exactly what they believe, Rorus. Muslims have no problem in sending out suicide bombers, so why wouldn't they use their nukes suicidally if they had them?
