What could be used as justification to hit Iran with Nukes?
- Thread starter HERESY
- Start date
Yes, the only arguments that could be used would involve Irans support of terrorists and their intention to process uranium with the aim of developing nuclear weapons (which they could then, theoretically, provide to terrorists).
What is the real reason? Several possibilities - securing the gulf to ensure prompt, hassle-free delivery of middle eastern oil to the west and punishing Iran for attempting to convert their oil money the petroeuro instead of the petrodollar - make an example of them so that other OPEC nations won't follow suit.
Either way, if Bush decides to declare war on Iran, none of the possible excuses justifies it. You can't destroy someone just because they might, in the future, attack you. If that were the case, the whole world would be ganging up on the U.S.!

I don’t believe a full out “waste the country and watch the fallout blow over the region” kind of strike will take place. Tactical nukes are a different option all together.
Cause for a strike on Iran that would also employ tactical nukes:
Nukes would be used on “underground facilities” and probably on sites deemed crucial to their nuclear program i.e. enrichment facilities, the plant the Russians are building, etc.

- An attack on U.S. troops in the Gulf region. Probably in Iraq in some kind of close border skirmish.
- Some kind of maritime encounter. U.S. ships and Iranian ships disagree on whose waters each is in and shooting starts. U.S. ship military or otherwise hits a sea mine. U.S. stops a boat/ship doing something they deem illegal and it goes awry.

^^I was reading the quote above, it said, "you can't destroy someone just because they might, in the future, attack you."
Um, you've heard of Iraq, right Hutch? They didn't have SHIT that we said they did. We lied, went in, occupied, turned shit upside down, and now we're "trying to help them put it back together" so that we can have an quasi-American gov't in Iraq.

Yeah, right, from the 1970's? Those little gas things they found? lol....We probably gave them any weapons we were "looking" for. Although, it wasn't about weapons, it was about Saddam, and telling stupid people he's a bad guy and the US is trying to help Iraq by executing their leader.
I wish someone would invade the US, find Bush, put him on trial, and then cut his fucking head off with a butter knife.
