    Agree with you. It makes zero sense to allow Iran to get nukes. It will start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Obama and other liberals have no idea who they are dealing with when it comes to Iran.

    Yes, if only we don't negotiate, Iran will magically not get nukes.

    Negotiate???? I say we need to go in and wipe out any and all advancements they have made toward being a nuclear power. They have threatened many times to destroy Israel, our only true allies in the Middles East. If you don't think they will try to destroy Israel if they get nukes you are incredibly naive. Iran is run by Islamic extremist who think that it is there religious duty to destroy Israel.

    The only people who actually believe this are the gullible people who are easily manipulated by fear. Everyone who's analyzed Iran comes to a completely different conclusion. Unlike an ISIS, Iran acts very rationally on the world stage - they are agitators and problem children, but they aren't going to destroy themselves for the sake of destroying Israel. Their leadership, like most leaders around the world, craves power - not their own death.

    I see, you obviously do not understand religion which makes you as gullible as the Obama administration.. Iran believes the only way to bring their "Mahdi" back and to thus establish a world caliphate is to destroy Israel. No amount of negotiation will change this and they could not care less about any collateral damage they sustain making this happen.

    You are extremely naive if you believe a modern nation-state would completely disregard self-preservation and attempt something a careless as attempting to deploy nukes on another sovereign state. There is a reason why in recent history modern states don't attempt direct war with other sovereign states. Coalitions and alliances instill considerable fear in nations such as Iran and North Korea to actually carry out their empty threats. Nukes are only used as show of force bargaining chips today.

    You are the naive one when it comes to religion. Muslims think they have to send the world into chaos to bring back their Mahdi and think the destruction of Israel will accomplish this. Iran has been threatening this for years and will not hesitate to use nukes if they acquire them. I do not understand why some people think that Iran is even the slightest bit rational in this regard.

    Little lesson in political science for you. Nation-states with theocratic tendencies use their theocratic principles to instill fear into their subjects rather than employing their theocratic principles in foreign policy mainly because majority of the governing body of these theocracies don't literally believe in the religion they use to instill fear into their citizens. Self preservation is the number one goal for a state even those that don't have an apparent separation of religion and state.

    Lol!!! Okay, yea I am sure the Islamic extremist running Iran took the same political science class you did.:rolleyes: You do not understand religion. You are assigning normal, rational thought to the irrational.

    Iran is a reletivly stable state with a clear and stable regime. They aren't run by 'crazies' but rather individuals that understand the power of instilling the fear of Allah into their subjects. Again, self preservation is the number one goal of states and deploying nuclear arms at another sovereign state would be the end of Iran.

    I'm loving watching the liberals squirm over this whole Netanyahu speech. They know they're wrong and their leader (Obama) got shown up.

    Why do you not love America? Why do you root for foreign heads of state over our own?

    Our head of state is the equivalent of Neville Chamberlain before WWII.

    Yes, by all means start ANOTHER war with what is BY FAR the most westernized country in the region so you can continue being Israel's lap dog. The rights infatuation with feeding the perpetual war machine is crazy. Almost as crazy as their complete and total disregard of world history.

    I would say individuals who fall for the politicans' traps of pandering to the facilities of fear are naive.
