Honestdictator - "Having already made nukes is different than developing nuclear weapons."
You're right. Has Iran already developed nuclear weapons?
If so, please provide details.
Honestdictator - "The reason Isreal would strike and the surrounding neighbors may not care is to STOP Iran from learning how. The uranium enrichment is what is worrying the international community. Please know the difference between prevention of, compared to proving the existance of."
So, in essence you're saying it's 'right' and OK to attack a country based on what are essentially guesses that Iran MIGHT BE or LOOKS TO BE developIng nuclear weapons?
Really?
Couldn't this rationale also be used by Iran to launch an attack any time on any other nation that DEFINITELY is nuclear armed?
Would you disagree with this?
Please know the difference between gossip and rumor, and hard facts, the latter, of course, sometimes being harder to pin down but exponentially more important.

OK, here''s a simple clearcut challenge for everyone who claims Iran has nuclear weapons - as opposed to nuclear reactors:
Surely if you so readily believe In their existence, there must be lots of evidence, no? Just like there was all that hard evidence for Saddam's WMDs.......uh...yeah.
And please don't bother bashing me for putting up this challenge - if you claim Iran has nuke weapons, put up the evidence.
No slacking now.

WilliB - "So,in your mind Iran`s nuclear bomb is not a "threat to world peace", but the possibility that Israel takes it out is???"
Which of Iran's nuclear bombs are you talking about?
Is it the one no one has discovered, or the huge Iranian nuclear arsenal Fox News keeps telling you they are building??
Facts please.

YuriOtani - "Israel is going to have and go it alone. They need to strike soon and HARD. Time is running out and the risk is having nukes go off in their own country."
What nukes?

Ok, let's get this straight:
Israel, a state long known to possess nuclear weapons, is believed to be planning to attack a country for possessing an as yet unproven arsenal of similar weapons.
Meanwhile, the militant majority of America's GOP would like nothing better than to launch yet another war based on as yet baseless claims; risking another pointless, incredibly costly war Iraq-type disaster for which they can blame president Obama for being 'weak on terror' if he vetoes, or a failure if it goes pear shaped.
Turns out the ones who cry 'terror' are the weakest on logic - and likely to be the most dangerous elements of society.

Interesting endorsement considering what Trump had to say about Romney back in April last year: "He's going to lose. He doesn't resonate, you know?"
One could call that a Romney-esque comment, one that leads people to think ''Where - exactly - does he stand?'

But under which president from what party did the latest recession start?
Obam - no, hang on, my memory is longer than that of 95% of hardline conservatives whose history of America - very strangely - seems to begin in Jamuary 2009.

There's also the plight of all of those outside America who are suffering the effects of economic downturns thanks to the fallout from largely conservative-sponsored GOP policies in the States.

Ben - "Which Asian economic success are you referring to? "
'Success."? Interesting to see how you make it seem posters used words they didn't, but I'll take the bait :-)
Singapore would be a good example.
Ben - "Funny how you continue to basically ignore discussing the GOP front-runner in favor of blanket statements."
Funny how you see to have already forgotton the long discussion we had about the the GOP front-runner yesterday.
It was only 24 hours ago.
I've done enough research on the guy. Personally, I think you may have done too much and found yourself missing the forest for the trees.

The GOP is toast this election cycle and they've only got the anti-American policies of themselves and the hardliners in the TP to thank for it.
All good. :-)

Madverts - 'Can't agree with you there. People living beyond their means and bankers allowing the folly is the whole reason we're globally in this mess.'
Have to agree with Madverts and disagree with Ben Jackinoff on this one.
The middle class in the States - as in most developed countries - have been living way beyond their means for decades, one of the reasons we've got a problem with climate and dwindling resources.
Govt. policies and bankers pushing cheap loans are largely behind this economic mess.
You only have to look to Asia to see how people can live if you downsize your life and expectations a bit.

This GOP nomination process is a recipe for disaster.
We are witnessing the destruction of the GOP in its present state.
Whoever they pick in the end - not that it matters - will be a shadow of his former self and will be wide open to potentially up to a trillion $$ in Dem SuperPAC carpet bombing.
Add to that, the influence of the TP: forcing the GOP further and further right, shrinking the eligible base down to the nutjob extremists and alienating their own moderates.
On top of that, the GOP voting stats in Florida were terrible - only about 35% of registered conservatives bothered to get out and vote.
The 2012 election cycle is not just looking grim for the GOP - we're looking at a rout of the Right.

This couldn't be better for the Dems.
The longer this GOP nomination debacle plays out, the more time - and money - the GOP candidates will pour into attacking each other while simultaneously uncovering, exposing and attacking each other's weaknesses.
That's what the Dems should be doing, but the GOP is doing it for them. That's just hilarious. :-)
So while the Dems and us Global Libs sit back and laugh at the GOP implosion, the GOP candidates are not only screwing each other, they're also highlighting each others' weaknesses that Obama and the Dems will be able to attack.
I'm wondering how, later this year, the surviving GOP candidates/frontrunner will be able to survive a week or two of $10 million/day Dem SuperPAC attacks....
As I've said before - where's the GOP strategy to win?
They are destroying each other and bringing the party down at the same time.
That's not a strategy - that's outright lunacy.
Honestly, they would probably give themselves a far greater chance of winning if they adopted Communist China tactics - have the party hierachy select a candidate.
Then there'd be no hugely destructive campaigning and no millions of campaign dollars totally wasted on attacking members of THEIR OWN PARTY.
By have the party hierachy select a candidate, the selected candidate would be flush with money and wouldn't have had to spend month getting hammered.

Ben - " You suddenly bring up a woman's right to choose. Personally I feel this is a strawman because there is not going to be a president that reverses Roe v Wade.'
Not a strawman at all - simply an illustration of the hypocrisy shown by conservatives.
Ben - "So, what is it again about Romney's healthcare plan you don't like again?'
Sorry, can you remind where I said I had a problem with it?

Ben - 'Why would it be wrong to let each state judge what is best for its people? Isn't that rather logical?'
Perhaps, if said states have half sensible legislators.
Going further, I would ask conservatives - in terms of abortion rights would it be wrong to let each pregnant woman judge for herself what is best for her and her family?
Isn't that rather logical?
Apparently that's a crazy notion for millions of conservatives....
