Default To be young

Oh Entsetzen, to be young and moralistic as you. I wish everyone would be. I am venturing a guess that you have never set foot in the middle east and are playing devil's advocate.

Do you realize that Iran lost a lawsuit a few years back. The plaintif was a Jewish father whose daughter died in a terrorist attack by Iranian backed terrorists. The deal sealier was the fact that Iran, in it's budget, had set aside some X million dollars towards terrorism against Israe. Now the US wouldn't let the father tap the money frozen in the US for reasons not needed to go into at this point. Point being that Iran does support, openly, acts of violence against Israel. They also assasinate people in other countries, such as disodents in Europe. They put bounties on peoples' heads like the author of books they find offensive.

Long story short, giving Iran nukes is like giving Bam Bam the fine china. And as for the US using nuclear weapons against Japan, I agree that it was a bit over the top since one would have certainly gotten the message across, but remember who fired the first gun in that feud. Pearl Harbor was not exactly a gentlemanly act of war.
