Wouldn't imposing sanctions on China mean the collapse of the US economy?

Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's impose sactions on, first, someone who could mutually destroy us, if pissed off enough, and we have been working to cool down our relations with for the last 60 years. Second, let's put sactions one of our largest, if not the largest, trading partner who also has nukes. WOW THAT SOUNDS GREAT!!! (end sarcasam)

In other news, it seems the Iranians have rejected our offer.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Iran rejected on Thursday a U.S. proposal to join multilateral talks as offering no "new and rational solution" to Iran's nuclear case, according to Iran's state-run news agency.

This was an excellent play with politics for the US. It showed we still wanted to talk, but keep our tough guy imagine. The Iranians really had not choice but to reject it because they needed to keep up their "bad ass" look for their people. Since the US will never let Iran, knowingly, build a nuke, this can't be good.

Maybe this should be in a poll, but who is really afraid, personally, politically, or morally against the Iranians having a nuke?

I am not personally against it, because it is hypocritical for me, as a citizen of the world's biggest owner of nukes, to deny any other citizen of another country the right to live under the fear they create. Politically I suppose I have to be against it for obvious reasons, if I were wanting my government to rule the world. Morally I am against any nation having these terrifying toys. I have been living under the fear of them for my entire life, and would feel better if they were all launced toward the sun to burn up in its caronasphere.

I think we should let them have the damned things, and then introduce them to the concept of MAD: Mutually Assured Destruction. Then they can be as afraid as I am.

Pittsburgh would be one of the last places they would strike... it has hardly anything on value these days. Almost all the industry has left. Besides, the Iran couldn't even get a nuclear missile to the United States. That kind of technology would take years to develop and tons of money.

It doesn't matter if Iran doesn't have missiles capable of reaching the US, in just a few years they'll be able to reach Vienna and soon after that Berlin, Paris, Moscow, and London. And to attack the US all you'd need is a mechant ship, it doesn't take much to put a nuke of anysize in a container and looking at all the nautical traffic the US gets from the middle east it doesn't need be an Iranian ship to do it. And of course there is the threat that Iran might give the nuke to terrorists which unlike the Saddam Al Queda links are actually true. They fund and train lots of terrorists that are currently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
