What about Rand Paul’s statement could any fair minded person disagree with? Iran is being threatened by the US and Israel on practically a daily basis. If you were the government of Iran, wouldn’t you have good reason to arm up?
Because you are putting the cart before the horse. The US and Israel threaten Iran because Iran has constantly made statements about wanting to 'wipe Israel off the map' and are are a major funding source to terrorist organizations such as Hammas.
They do not want nukes because they are threatened. They want nukes because they want to be the threat.
Sudan probably deserves some nuclear weapons as well, we’re always bad-mouthing them.
Terrific. You shouldn't have any problems finding the multiple instances when the Israeli Prime Minister or President, or the American President has called for the destruction of the state of Iran; To wipe it off the face of the map.
People Idiots like Rand Paul, have absolutely no understanding or appreciation for the ideology or goals of the people who control Iran. Nor do they appreciate their Sunni brothers, who share a similar set of goals, primarily to reestablish the Caliphate across the Muslim world, and beyond.
This has NOTHING to do with Iran feeling threatened. This is about Iran's ability to project force and to maximize their regional influence to create an unbending hegemony.
Paul's statement is such an over-simplification of the dynamics of the middle-east, it would be funny if he wasn't a serious candidate with a legitimate chance of winning. This kind of thinking is just as dangerous as the isolationists were in 1939. Paul is bad, bad news.
UR Funny. I didn't know Conan O'Brien was a freeper.
