I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I think the Iranian nuclear works should be eliminated as soon as possible with conventional forces. Even then, however, I think the terror forces still view a massive conventional missile strike as a tactic after the recent Hezbollah barrages. I have no thoughts on how a biological warfare or gas attack should be responded to. That is best left to a dialogue among ethicists and military planners.

I can't believe this idiot. Justifying mass murder.

According to the professor, it would be acceptable for Hezbollah to use on Israel, nuclear bombs, if they possessed such weaspons. Israel has flattened Lebanon in the recent war using conventional bombs. Professor is justifying mass murder. He is saying terrorism is acceptable. He should he sacked from his teaching post.

The palestinians and hezbollah represent a holocaust by a thousand cuts conventional weapons have not neutralized this existential threats therefore nuclear weapons ii the only practicial and moral step as it saves the lives of israeli soldiers in fact conventional weapons used against palestinians and hezbollah are innivective and immoral as it needlessly wastes the lives of israeli soldiers

In the name of God and of humanity, I am utterly appalled by this mindset... but in light of the US and Israeli policy of decimating civilian populations and not giving a damn about the health of the planet as a whole, sadly, I'm not surprised. Please, in the name of all that is good and right, understand that there never was and never will be an excuse for using nuclear weapons on other humans. We're killing this beautiful world fast enough as it is --- let's not utilize weapons (including the "depleted" uranium ordinance currently in vogue) that render areas lethal for hundreds of thousands of years, and that spill their contamination into the entire world's ecosystem. This is unconscionable and immoral... which it seems will only make it even more appealing to the current pack of sociopaths ruling both Israel and the US.

Just when I'm starting to think that America can't sink deeper into the slumps, an isolated American voice uninfluenced by the Bush propaganda rises up. Makes me realize that there always is hope. Always :)

and death burns in the black outside. Use of nukes satisfies the pleasure of the phoney Christians that want the end of time (just not in their neighborhood) to come to this place and have Israel burn in hell. On the flip side their is so much more for the termite to chew on.

and none can use the lessons of the past. geiger counters will measure the survival. Give 3 salutes(count them) for the force first and last. Smoke them if you got them, otherwise put up and shut up.

"..the US and Israeli policy of decimating civilian populations.." My, how short and selective ones rememberance of human history can be. I challenge you to use all of your economic resources to move your entire family and yourself to, oh, let's say Israel. Between now and the time Iran obtains nuclear weapons you can ponder which "population center" you prefer to have spared from nuclear holocaust--yours or the mullahs. Now, now you can't pick "neither" because that is not how it will go down. It's one or the other, baby. Do you have any problem sacrificing your family to the guy who says the holocaust never happened? That means if he causes the next one, that one will have "never happened" either. The "mindset" is very different when it's YOUR family that will end up in the big black spot. By the way, I do agree with you regarding the horror of nuclear weapons. But, to tab the Bush administration and "Israel" as the only powers ever to consider decimating a population center is ridiculous. Pick up a grade school history book or read a newspaper.

The problem is, Kyle, they want to kill us 6,000,000 jews in sigle shot. See how maths work for our ememy kyle? No mercy It's either they or us, no middle way, everything included. Humanism is not in their lexicon
