Why is it ok for the U.S. to have 2k nuclear warheads...?

...but then our panties get in a bunch when Iran (or any other country) so much as enriches uranium for fuel?

    Because we want to feel like we have power over the entire world...we just do it in a more politically sound way. I think that any country that wants em should have em...they are just trying to protect themselves from us. Our governments argument is that countries like Iran cannot be trusted because of the things that they have done in thier past and the way they have treated thier people...but look at our past....Where are the Native Americans again??? oh yeah and Slaves?? and Civil war...we are just Hypocrites

    It has to do with rights under the N-NPT which ironically Iran is a member of.

    Also, all long-range nuclear missiles are suppose to be illegal. This was a result of the end of the cold war when all countries who had them were suppose to destroy them. I can still remember those big trucks carrying them to be destroyed here. It was a trip... they would close down portions of the highways when in transport. And there were towns fussing they were being destroyed too close to them.

    But don't think I am niave enough to think we got rid of all of them.

    because our authorities is reliable sufficient to make certain that no one easily makes use of our arsenal. With Iran, you don' t comprehend what they're going to do with each and each chief. One should be ok, even if the subsequent should be very pleasant in route of terrorists. i imagine the governmentsituation is that international locations like Iran can construct the bomb and hand it off to a Revolutionary Organization 17 November, and our situation turns into what is going to that Revolutionary Organization 17 November does with the bomb.

    You are an idiot. We will not proliferate this material to outlaw regimes. Go live in Iran or North Korea. Thank You.
