Should Iran be allowed to have a nuclear bomb?

No.

Does the world have the right to deny Iran the capability?

Yes.

That region of our sphere is way to volatile. There is no way to ensure that the responsilbilty is there.

For that matter, Nuclear weapons have outlived there usefullness.

Current technology in weapons systems far outreaches the effectiveness of a nuke.

Nukes are rapidly becoming nothing more than a weapon of terror, and have no real strategic benefit.

Just my $.02

Aww, come on guys! Sure Iran can have the bomb. Lots of em. Big ones. Come to think of it, Independence Day is just around the corner. Think of the possibilities.

At any rate, the Western world will only fry if it's the will of Allah as translated and interpreted by the local fundamentalist cleric, so why all the worry?

lol! We could kill the world 10 times over? Sure, but what do you think would have happened to the world if the NAZIS or Arabs had the bomb? You probably think it would be heaven on earth.

How about we give all our nukes to Iran? You seem to think the US is fanatical. Maybe Iran and all the Arabs would be better keepers of the fire.

Atlantic or Pacific Salmon?  Ocean caught or farm raised?  I sure do like Salmon!

I'm guessing farm-raised. The meat looked pretty damned dyed. Was nice though.

Salmon is my favorite for cooked fish. For Sushi, I like tuna and flounder.

Bush's personal faith has turned highly public, arguably more so than any modern president. What's important is not that Bush is talking about God but that he's talking about him differently. We are witnessing a shift in Bush's theology – from talking mostly about a Wesleyan theology of "personal transformation" to describing a Calvinist "divine plan" laid out by a sovereign God for the country and himself.

On Thursday (Feb.6) at the National Prayer Breakfast, for instance, Bush said, "we can be confident in the ways of Providence. ... Behind all of life and all of history, there's a dedication and purpose, set by the hand of a just and faithful God."

Bush has made several statements indicating he believes God is involved in world events and that he and America have a divinely guided mission:

In that speech, Bush said, "Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them." The implication: God will intervene on the world stage, mediating between good and evil.

At the prayer breakfast, during which he talked about God's impact on history, he also said, he felt "the presence of the Almighty".

"Privately, Bush even talked of being chosen by the grace of God to lead at that moment."

/ / /

Yes. Bush thinks he acts on behalf of god. Which god, who knows. Neverthless, that makes him a dangerous religious fanatic, who is leading a whole nation using the guidance of his imagined friend - and makes him no better than the other religious fundamentalists. He aksi has nuked, biological and chemical weapons.

"The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations."---George Washington

“Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.”
---Thomas Jefferson

"Deeply impressed with the blessing which we enjoy, and of which we have much manifold proofs, my mind is irresistibly drawn to that Almighty Being, the great source source from whence they proceed and whom our most grateful acknowledgements are due."---James Monroe

It is no slight testimonial, both to the merit and worth of Christianity, that in all ages since its promulgation the great mass of those who have risen to eminence by their profound wisdom and integrity have recognized and reverenced Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of the living God." ---John Quincy Adams

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right-let us strive on to finish the work we are in. ---Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln also wrote "A house divided against itself cannot stand." He paraphrased Luke 11:17, in which Jesus proclaimed, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth"

Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own. ---John F Kennedy


Seems like the United States has had some reverent leaders in the past and some folks on this BBS are making much ado about nothing.
