what if some nation DEMANDED we give up OUR nuclear programs?

[mopaul]

i suspect that we wouldn't like that very much.

1. Much like every other demand or request from anyone else, it

would be ridiculed and ignored by the misadministration.

2. But we are the United States and we know what is best for the world

We know better than any other nation and we are the chosen people. We have been chosen to be the keepers of WMD's and to spread Democracy around the world even if it means we must use the WMD's to force that Democracy.
sarcasm off

3. But our nuclear weapons were handed down to us by God.It says so

right here in the Bible.

5. Here I'll do it. Then we will see what happens.

Give up your nuclear programs!

nothing. no response save for the laughter and the slow sarcastic clap.


I bet my persuasiveness is about as powerful as the international communities 'round these parts and on this issue. Haven't counteries made these demands before?

[checks-n-balances]

6. A logical question that I've been pondering a long time

Wish more of the general public would ask it.

8. Exactly

Thats the whole point behind the non-proliferation treaty.

Non-nuclear countries agreed to not pursue the development of nuclear weapons, and the nuclear powers agreed to over time dismantle their arsenals so in the end the world would be nuclear weapon free.


Guess we only want the non-nuclear powers to live up to their obligations?
