Someone correct me if I'm wrong here...

Oil is very important to our economy. No oil, no economy - nothing moves. Price of oil goes up, everything goes up. In fact, the bulk of our defense policy is based on ensuring the supply of oil.

Seems we need oil from the Middle East less and less.

The problem is the US has no balls to pull the trigger and nuke that god forsaken country. It's this precise reason the whack job terrorists are so openly brave to attack the US and kill our ambassador, and have all those stupid rallies promoting hate against the US.

I look back and remember when the US had the balls to push the envelope, even if it was not ethical thing to do. Remember Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Was it ethical thing to kill those innocent people? Nope but it was the right thing to do to get revenge for Pearl Harbour. And the Japanese surrendered and the world trembled at the feet of the US from that point on.

This same principle should be applied Iran. Our leadership should grow a set of balls and wipe out Iran first and foremost. Then wipe out that backstabbing pretend to be our friend Pakistan. And then see how of these terrorists run scared back to their caves if they knew we meant business. The thinking by the would be terrorists would be this:

"If the US was that violent to nuke and destroy Iran, just think what they will do to the other muslim terrorist countries if they tried to attack the US again".

It's a simple deterrent and you can bet those whack job terrorists would think twice before they attempted another attack on the US if they knew the US would retaliate afterwards on the terrorist's home country with extreme prejudice. The time for diplomacy and ass kissing is finished. The US needs to re establish the greatness our nation once proudly had and put fear in our enemies :thumbsup

iran needs nukes to balance out that crazy region. If everyone had guns that dipshit in the movie theatre would have been taken out. If everyone had guns, no one would mess with anybody. Let's for arguement sake say guns are nukes, therefore....
