| The treaty is often summarised as having three pillars: non-proliferation, disarmament, and the right to peacefully use nuclear technology |
Let's call the NnPT (not the NPT or Nuclear Proliferation Treaty but that would be a more apt name in my opinion), for what it is.........paper and posture.
The main nuclear powers have only given lip service to disarmament. They have continued to stockpile more and more powerful weapons. The intent of the treaty, to create a nuclear weapons free world has been lost. It is a treaty of convenience, to be enforced when it helps the big 5 and to be ignored when it doesn't.
There is proliferation precisely because those nations with massive nuclear arsenals have not had the courage to decommission and REALLY lead the world towards a peaceful non nuclear possibility of annihilation way......
So please don't bring up that treaty. It reeks. All treaties which give lip service to certain signatories are to be viewed the same way..

Anyway, what's with this 'we' crap? 'We' take Teheran? Is that the royal we?
You have about 10% of the population of the US, do you supply 10% of the military personnel? Or are you just along for the free ride? |

Though I agree with your reasoning in some aspects, don't you find it reminicient of Germany and Hitler when the leader of Iran began talking about wiping Israel off the map. Especially a leader who tries to persuade the public that the holocaust was a joke.
Nuclear technology is not a right to any nation and that is why we have the UN. Hopefully, the US has learned from its past and will never again use it for war. I guess OH, which evil do you choose? I would have to say that the US is the lesser evil....wouldn't you?
Anyway, what a horrible situation eh? |

Minus the fact that there's no way on earth the leader of Iran could ever get a single Israeli Jew into a boxcar, let alone 6 million of them. Plus, I don't think that the European Jews during World War II had anything approching the nuclear arsenal that Israel does. |

I'm guessing that what the Bush syndicate do about iran depends on his next ratings. Which are unlikely to be good.
Either way If iran is 10 months from acquiring the bomb, the US will have to act, with or without UN approval. China and Russia hold sway at the security council and they are iranian allies. |
