Sheila_Israel Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 While you are reading this, the Iranian reactor produces enriched bomb-grade uranium. Terrorists can deliver that bomb to your city, and it can kill you and your children. Yet the government does nothing. Do we demand violence? Not in any common sense. Similarly, police use force to arrest criminals in order to stop violence. But Iran is not a criminal? Wrong. Iran has proven malicious intent. Iran, under the current regime, conducted many terrorist bombings in the West, and sponsors deadly terrorists. Iranian leaders repeatedly called for fight against the United States and annihilation of Israel. Perhaps Iran needs nuclear weapons for self-defense? No. Iran already bullies the Middle East with its huge conventional army. No country threatens Iran. Since the eighth-century jihad and the Ottoman army at the gates of Vienna, the West has never been exposed to such threat. Iran’s several nuclear bombs can inflict more damage on America than the World War II. Never before the Islamic fundamentalists who hate the West and dream of attacking it had military might of apocalyptic dimensions. Are you crazy to doubt they will use the bomb? We call on the United States: Do not hesitate. Protect your people. Protect your allies. Destroy the Iranian reactor! To sign the petition, visit [LINK REMOVED - POTENTIAL SPAM THREAT].

Peregrine Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 AND GOOGLE SAYS: YEP, DEFINITELY A SPAMBOT. As for the topic... it's just silly. Iran isn't going to do anything but talk with their bomb. They've seen what happened with US public opinion after 9/11, and that was just one building in one city. Sure, they might be able to cause massive damage to one city, but the price of that attack will be the entire middle east. Anyone with enough of a working brain to build a nuke can see that the entire US would be united in their demands for blood. Iran would simply cease to exist, along with probably every single holy site in the entire region. It's the basic concept of MAD, and in this case, Iran doesn't even have enough to back up its side of the threat. And don't bring up their suicide attacks, those leaders sure aren't joining the fight themselves. They have no more wish to die than the rest of us here, so they won't be launching their nukes.

Spout political rhetoric, and get people to click on your spam link. For the first day, the site it leads to is seemingly legitimate, and the webmaster thinks it's in the clear. Day two, things get changed at the server side and it's all h3rb41 \/149r4 and browser exploits --- just as a debate picks up and the thread's viewcount skyrockets. I'd suggest changing that link to a known-safe site, like Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marxist ßastard Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Iran isn't going to do anything but talk with their bomb.Who even said that they have one? The fact that Iran has the capability to enrich Uranium doesn't mean that the mighty hand of Allah just magically reaches out of the sky and gives them a gigantic stockpile of ICBMs as a reward for their good effort. You see, pure Uranium is, before enrichment, 99.28% U-238 (depleted Uranium, a weak alpha emitter) and 0.72% U-235 (the fun stuff). As of now, Iran can, after a lengthy and power-hungry enrichment process, produce Uranium with a 3.5% concentration of U-235. By contrast, the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki had an 80% concentration of U-235. The modern definition of weapons-grade Uranium is 85% concentrate. "Weapons-capable" Uranium is 20% concentrate. Any nuclear weapon with below 20% concentration is purely theoretical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Iran has the capability to enrich Uranium doesn't mean that the mighty hand of Allah just magically reaches out of the sky and gives them a gigantic stockpile of ICBMs as a reward for their good effort. I'm well aware of this fact. I was refering to the worst-case scenario there, which would only happen sometime in the future. Even if they somehow managed to produce a nuke or two, it's far from the end of the world scenario that the media/republicans keep talking about. The idea that we'd suddenly be held hostage by a single nuke is just completely unrealistic, even if it happens to be owned by a nation of religious fanatics.
