shafique wrote:I therefore take exception to Kanelli's question about whether Iran should be 'allowed' nuclear weapons. On one level it is a red herring - best estimates are that this is a few years away in any case. There is no threat and no one really believes they will use them against Israel. Assured mutual anhilation is an effective deterrent and the arguments that somehow those in power who have 'brown' skins won't be as 'civilised' as the US and USSR at the height of the cold war is laughable at best and inherently racist and ing at worst.
shafique wrote:Iran are saying they are not developing nuclear weapons - fact. Iran has not broken any international laws thus far - fact. Iran is allowed to develop nuclear technology for fuel - fact.
shafique wrote:Interesting point - I'm not a lawyer so don't know about pre-emptive strikes not being against international law.
However, I would have thought that bombing a foreign territory is something that is covered under international law and that just calling it a 'pre-emptive strike' doesn't make it into a legal action? Who gets to say what is pre-emptive or not?
I guess you've also uncovered another advantage of being religious - we get to pray to God and that does remove that 'helpless' frustration from these types of situation.
