What would happen if three nuclear scientists in the US were assassinated? There would be massive outrage, each of the Presidential candidates would be loudly banging the drums of war against any Nation considered complicit.
Why would Iran be considered a Pariah of the International community if they acted in the same manner?
Why are we so "afraid" of Iran?
Their leaders are theocratic lunatics who believe in end times and more War.
"On occasion scientists working on the nuclear program in Iran turn up dead. I think that’s a wonderful thing, candidly" Rick Santorum.
Hey Mr. Frothy, I thought you were pro-life? What does your campaign site say again "Rick Santorum has been a national leader on pro-life issues with a clear record of results. He has a broad and impressive record when it came to defending the dignity of every human life, especially the most vulnerable among us. "
They will use a nuclear bomb if they develop one.
To date only one Country has gone nuclear when at War. It was not Iran. It is not Iran refusing to agree to a "no first use policy".
Why do we retain diplomatic ties with Pakistan when they work against us? Why didn't we invade North Korea, a part of the "axis of evil"? Could it be that they have weapons of mass destruction and are not afraid to show the World that they have them?
They are prepared to commit wars on our shores.
Which Nation has declared War against the USA?
We claimed a so-called Iraninan plot to kill a Saudi Ambassadoron US soil an Act of War. So what would Iran call the assassination of three nuclear scientists? All of whom were civilian? Peace Keeping?
If Pakistan started to murder the people involved in the manufacture of drones - what would we call that? Collateral damage?
Bin Laden and Alwaki were involved in the murder of thousands of people. They were at War against the US.
Civilian scientists are not at War against the US, the UK or Israel, or whichever idiot Nation ordered this.
The "policeman of the World" has no moral argument in the war against terror if it is itself participating in terrorism.
These assassinations are a co-ordinated act of terrorism against Iran.It is absolutely to the credit of Iran that after the sanctions and the acts of terrorism that they have not retaliated.
Attacks on Iranian scientists
Jan 2012 - Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a professor at the Technical University of Tehran, died after bomb was placed on his car by a motorcyclist
Nov 2010 - Majid Shahriari, member of nuclear engineering faculty at Shahid Beheshti University, killed in Tehran after bomb attached to his car by motorcyclist in Tehran. Another scientist, Fereydoon Abbasi Davani - future head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran - is hurt in a separate attack
Jan 2010 - Massoud Ali Mohammadi, a physics professor, died when a motorcycle rigged with explosives exploded near his car
Hillary Clinton, for President Obama has condemned the attack. Absolutely right, not enough. We should agree to investigate, out and prosecute the people behind this or even hand them over to Iran.
We are sleep-walking towards a new war, deliberately or otherwise. Have we forgotten what happened in Iraq?
Iran is a much better armed Country than Iraq. It is wealthier and much better armed. If the US or Israel launch an attack on Iran, we can expect retaliation. We can expect it against their "axis of evil"; the US, Israel and the UK. We can then expect the US to further retaliate and to "up their game". Where does this brinkmanship get us?
These acts of war must stop. It is time for the West to end our provocative behaviour, rejoin the International community and be a productive member of it.
