What I'm saying is...who made the United States into "God" with the power to tell any other nation what they can and can't do?
If we go with the line of thinking that you laid out (and that our own govt. seems to believe and the media is pumping us with)...then shouldn't Iran be demanding that we "de-nuke" as well?
If you step back and look at it for a second you have two countries.
One is the ONLY country to ever use nuclear weapons on another country. The other is run by religious radicals that we don't like (and that don't like us).
Looks like a case of two "bad guys" to me.
But I digress. My point is that the U.S. has no authority over another sovereign nation.
And our insistence on being the world's "policeman" has already caused us a lot of problems over the last few decades.
9-11, the Patriot Act, wars...all because we insist on putting our nose in everyone else's business worldwide.
It's bad enough the govt. tries to run all of our lives right here in the U.S.
Ironically, this is NOT what the founding fathers ever had in mind for our country.
Not many people realize this...but ironically (with our govt. spying on us, running our lives, and invading other countries without being attacked), the first coin ever minted by the U.S. Govt. didn't say "In God We Trust"
It said "MIND YOUR BUSINESS"
I wish our govt. was still like that instead of the power hungry bunch of crooks we have now.
