Nuclear Weapons & the U.N.
Here is a interesting article from the people at al jazeera, it essential states that America is selling Israel a crap load of bombs for about $319 million dollars.
At this same time we hear that pressure is being put on Iran because they are converting raw uranium into gas, which can be used for atomic weapons. Iran denies that they are building nukes, and that there nuclear program is entirely peaceful, however if I were in Iran I'd be wanting some nukes right now.
On this subject of selling producing weapons that kill everyone, i recommend spending a few minutes at this website. armcontrol.org
As for my opinion on nuclear arms, and who should, and shouldn't be allowed to have them, I have this to say"
If one country is entitled to produce, sell, and obtain nuclear weapons, then all countries should. be entitled to produce, sell, and obtain nuclear weapons. The reason behind this is such: Mutual self deterrence. Nobody will launch a nuclear strike because everyone has nuclear weapons. Un like in the case of the middle east, where the only nation with nukes is Israel. Were Israel to nuke Iran, there isn't necessarily a country that will immediately return the favour to Israel. This would also force nations that like to install crazy pyschopaths as leaders of other nations, to take more time, and think twice about who and why they would install these governments. Also it would force the world to collectively keep a closer eye on brutal regimes in places that are generally ignored until mass genocide takes place, like Africa.
However all this said and done I am still more in favour of ridding the world of Nuclear Weapons entirely, like the Russians wanted to do, but sadly Reagan and the republican assholes chose not to do this.
Anyhow I figured i should write something briefly on the subject. Here is Bush talking to the UN General Assembly. I thank Kofi Annan for his words said. the bull shit that is pouring out of Bush's mouth is making me sick, so i depart.
