While I abhor the idea of the indescriminate use of nuclear weapons, or any weapons at that, I feel that a nuclear response would be the only way to get the Iranians, and any other Middle Eastern countries so inclined to take such an action on their part seriously. Enforcement of international law would be a joke if we did not do so. I could not begin to imagine the consequences of "taking it on the chin", if that is what we do, could be. As the bible says in Ecclesiasties:
There is a time for everypurpose under the heavens....a time to love and a time to hate.....a time to kill and a time for peace or something like that. (just paraphrasing a little)
These are trying times that we are in. I pray that we can find a way to resolve this issue of Nuclear proliferation peacefully. I wish my own country would take greater measures to reduce her own stockpiles. It would do more for our credibility when we argue that smaller nations should not be allowed their own. I guess it's a case of the strong doing what they can, while the weak do what they must, as the saying goes.
To be frank, it is all rather frightening. These arrogant people want to gamble millions of lives for what? Good God, can't we just do buisness?
