U.S.A.’s high hypocrisy hobbles nuclear stance (cut and pasted collumn)

[Redleg]

Actually, if its a simple case of might makes right, I can respect your stance. What I don't respect is this holier-than-thou attitude that cloaks the realpolitik in something very different, a high moral stance. If you just don't like the idea of brown Muslim people who live near Israel and control your oil having the bomb, then say so.

No need to do that - there is an international treaty that states Iran would not use the technology to build weapons

But don't pretend that your capable of using nukes 'responsibly' when you're the only one to use them against civilian targets--to use them at all, for that matter

Do you really want to go in that direction - the historical evidence is out there about why the bomb had to be used in Truman's own words and futher backed up with the actions and words of the Japanese Military Council.

--and are breaking international treaties,

And what is Iran doing with the attempted building of nuclear weapons,

fighting elective wars,

An opinion

invading other sovereign nations on false pretexts

Not proven in any way shape or form - the best you have is that the reason stated for going to war were shown to be false - that means that the judgement was poor, the decision bad - not a false pretext.

and breaking down the barriers between conventional and nuclear weapons at the same time. If it is just a case of might makes right, then at least have the balls to admit it.

What barrier has the United States broken on the use of nuclear weapons? There is a certain treaty that the United States can be criticized for not ratifing in Congress, and then there is the building of new weapons to replace old weapons - an arguement that could be used to support your statement here.
