Thread Name: BS: Our pre emptive nuclear strike
Subject: RE: BS: Our pre emptive nuclear strike
I'm wholly opposed to nuclear technology as a way of producing energy with current techology - and to nuclear weapons.

But I would be dead against some foreign country menacing the country in which I live with sanctions, up to and including war, unless it gives up its nuclear technology.

And I think I'd feel the same way if I lived in Iran.

I think if people here are more concerned about what the USA and the UK get up to than about the Iranian government it's because the USA and the USA have a record of engaging in aggressive foreign war, and Iran has not. At least not since they got whopped by the Greeks at Marathon and Salamis.

Also, on the biblical principle that we should sort out the planks we can feel in our own eyes rather than the bits of grit we think might be in the other bloke's eyes.
