Quote:Anyway, is the refusal of a foreign nation to hand over wanted criminals sufficient reason to declare war on them?Yes, since they had a record of aiding and abetting and harboring them when they attacked our embassies and ships.
You aren't even funny in your blinders on attempts at revisionism here.
Osama bin Laden offered to help get Saddam out. Zenda, I offer to help Mahmoud of Iran get the 12th Imam back. Equally useful offers.
I don't think it is possible for you to understand how silly you sound. Get your head out.
At MEAT: I do not think it matters if Iran gets nuclear weapons. All that would mean is that our President sends them a memo: "Hi, idiots, you are now targeted by our strategic forces, which you were not before. Nice job joining the nuclear club. Now you get to lose sleep every night."
I suspect Iran actually does want the nukes for their deterrent value, not for the apocalyptic fantasies people are bellowing about in the press. If you look at their strategic situation, a nuclear deterrent posture makes sense. They don't have a lot of friends, and a lot of their neighbors have nukes. India, Pakistan, Russia, Israel ...
