How the hell did we become their "daddy" and they are "defying" us if they ignore our dumb asses?
I'm not saying that I hope Iran gets nukes...but for us here in the United States (the ONLY country to ever bomb TWO civilian cities killing hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children with atomic bombs) to preach to other countries is hypocritical at best.
WE are the crazy fucks that the rest of the world is scared of. WE are the ones who actually used these weapons on civilians. And we are going to tell other countries they can't have them because they are crazy?  |
this sums it up, right? look, i agree we've shot our mouth off way too much around the globe as leader of the free world. and we are the only ones to ever use nukes.
however.
nukes are a historical anomaly. they should of never happened; moreover, 60+ years ago in the height of ww2, dropping those bombs should be taken in context. but in 2011, i am not so sure standing by and letting/allowing/concede/sanction anyone and everyone to develop nukes is wise.
