But wouldn't Arnold die in the nuclear blast as well?







Heh, I'm not that naïve that I thought nukes are avoidable or anything, I just felt like saying they suck I'm still hoping I can get that bunker in North-Eastern Siberia up and running. Living in a hole in the middle of nowhere might not be my idea of paradise, but if it keeps me out of harm's way? Sure.

Erh...anyway. Let's hope we don't get to deal with such weaponry or its effects. I just dislike the whole hypocrisy of the debate. Saddam used biological weapons against ppl/opponents, sure, but the US did nuke Japan. And nuking is a whole lot worse than nerve gas or anything. Also, in WWI mustard gas was used by Germany. And closer to home there's the US using depleted uranium in their weaponry, causing mass cancers and birth defects in (for example) Iraq. All Western and now upstanding countries that pretty much were the first to put all those things in practice. Does it make it any less worse if you are the first to use such means? Ignorance can be bliss, but it isn't an excuse either.

So the whole debate is precarious: I don't want another country with nukes either, but really, does the West have any moral high ground? Not in the least. So I don't buy the "only evil fanatics use awful weapons" thing....I wouldn't know how to solve the problem either btw, but there should be better reasons than moral ones.

Bleh...incohorent rant, i'm tired.

Heh....if I could found my own nation it'd be reasonable enough.


That's a lie.

Iran's president says his nation has successfully produced the enriched uranium needed to make nuclear fuel.

While Iran's nuclear program has become a major focus of the international media, there are many who strongly believe that the program is only a cover for the U.S. government's true motive in a possible attack against Iran.

What some analysts posit is the real concern for the United States is Iran's plan to open its own oil exchange — the Iranian Oil Bourse (IOB) — with the alleged goal of becoming the dominant center of the Middle East's oil trade.

What makes the IOB the subject of such interest by the American government? According to rumors, which first vaulted the issue into the spotlight, the financial exchange in the aforementioned bourse will trade for oil in euros instead of the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the dominant currency for international oil trade.

The debate over the ultimate financial impact of trading oil in euros rather than dollars is a complex one, but according to some experts such a move could lead to a huge drop in value for the American currency, potentially putting the U.S. economy in its greatest crisis since the depression era of the 1930s.
