The Bush Administration Needs To Stop Being So Paranoid

Well, okay, I understand that Nuclear Technology has its bad sides, but it also has its good sides. Yes, since the breakthrough of Nuclear Technology in the World War II-Cold War Era, we call think of Weapons of Mass Destruction when we hear the word, "Nuclear".

But,

The Bush Administration is taking it to the next level.

Apparently, whenever a country enhances its Nuclear Capability, it's not always about weapons. Yes, Bush and its Administration needs to know that nowadays, political leaders are looking at Nuclear Technology to fill its energy needs, as well as lower the harm on the environment. Do they know that the World even uses Nuclear Technology to make time more accurate than using the GMT!

But nations, like Japan, can't enhance on its Nuclear Technology in a POSITIVE WAY because it "violates its Constitution." Yes, I understand that, but not even for Energy Needs can Japan use Nuclear Technology considering Japan is an environmentally friendly nation?

South Korea is even prohibited to use Nuclear Technology for ANY purposes, also considering that South Korea is an environmentally friendly nation.

Now, we all know that Pakistan, India, China, North Korea, Israel, U.S, and Russia all use Nuclear Technology for Military Purposes, but after the closing of the recent U.S-India Talks, America urged India NOT to use Nuclear Technology while India said it was only to suit its energy needs.

Well, the Bush Administration needs to stop being so paranoid over nuclear technology

The Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, as well as International Opinion and the International Atomic Energy Association, which is against the use of Nuclear Technology for Military Uses, is ENOUGH to make Nations decide NOT to use Nuclear Technology for Weapons.

But the Bush Administration focuses all its attention on nations that make nuclear technology WITHOUT telling the World its purposes. Like Iran, it's all based on assumption that Iran is making nuclear weapons, Iran never said it was, nor did it say what it was using it for. Just because Iran says, "its none of your business" when the World says (especially the Bush Administration), "what are you doing with Nuclear Technology?" doesn't mean the World should start going against Iran.

Just because nations like Pakistan, Israel, U.S, China, and North Korea flash out the negative sides of Nuclear Technology, it does not mean there are no good sides to Nuclear Technology and it does not mean Nations will ALWAYS use Nuclear Technology for Military Uses!

So my words to the Bush Administration is - Not every nation uses Nuclear Technology for their Military Enhancement, or for making Weapons of Mass Destruction, but nations may also use it to suit their energy needs as well as to make their nation more environmentally-friendly. SO STOP BEING SO PARANOID OVER NATIONS THAT USE NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY! Unless they say they're using it for Military Uses, then you can bother them, otherwise LEAVE THEM ALONE!!

Bush still shouldn't think every nation wants to build nuclear weapons when using Nuclear Technology.

The U.S does spy on the world, so they should know better than bothering nations.

But they probably will

It's not like a nation with a nuclear weapons program is going to advertise it until they have it aimed. I agree that there should be some sort of process nations can go through in order to get approval from the UN to start a nuclear energy program, but for now, we should try to limit the number of nukes out there. Especially in the Middle-east.

Glad i could help!
And while i'm helping, you should add "can't successfully, in nine out of ten tries, eat a pretzel without some dire life-threatening circumstance endangering the White House (and extensively the U.S.) occurring ON HIS PART"

or quite possibly an honourable mention of his recent visit to China, and attempt to evade journalists there.

nuclear weapons arent frightening at all. Its a minature sun existing on teh surfact of the planet for a fraction of a second. Big boom, radiation then it ends. The truly frightening weapons are bio. Infecting many people in a realitively short time, could you imagine a weaponized ebola distributed through iternational flights?

Any self-determined sovereign state deserves to utilise nuclear technology for whatever it deems to be beneficial to their nation. The US certainly has enough nuclear weapons for a apocalyse x100000000

It seems to me that there are so many inherent problems with nuclear energy that we should concentrate on proposing and helping with research and financing so that the entire planet can have cheap safe and sane energy from renewable resources. We need to use wind, tides, green energy, solar energy around the planet for everyone.

Once everyone has energy adequate to their needs, a major source of friction will be removed from mankind.

If we don't want Iran to have nuclear energy, have we even offered to help finding alternative resources for them?

Why should we? Because it is in our long term best interest to do things that will enhance everyone's live so that they will become fat, happy, complacent and malleable.

That will happen when everyone has their basic needs met TV, internet chat and plenty of exciting non-violent video games. Give everyone food, shelter, water, health care, clothes, TVs, handheld games and a home computer. A job would be nice if they want fancy extras.

What would be left to fight about, religion? Well, if they can tear themselves away from chat long enough, they might want a little war. But, I don't think so.

Religion isn't the opiate of the masses. Welfare is.

In exchange for assistance, I think we should require that all their citizens receive the above benefits from our help.

There is plenty of evidence that Iran's planning a nuclear weapons program. There is really no more doubt. We shouldn't and will not tolerate a nuclear Iran. If military action is necessary, I have no doubt that we will attack.

Who knows? Maybe they would want to show the US their powers without actually angering the Americans, so what better place to nuke than goo'-ol'-Canada, especially around Southern Ontario.

Well, only one country has made this one step too far and used such bombs. That scares people ever since then. And today people are especially scared because of Bush's arrogant and aggressive talk. The world does not expect Iran to start a war anytime soon - with or without nuclear weapons, but the world is not so sure about the US in that respect (also considering that the US run two messed-up wars already).

What we need to to is step back and allow Russia to work out a deal with Iran. Iran gets the power plants and the uranium, and there's virtually no risk of nuclear proliferation; Russia also gets a nice source of revenue out of the deal to boot.

Honestly, the risk of Iran developing nuclear technology for military purposes is slim. They have too much to lose in the event of a war, and the clerical establishment isn't going to allow Ahmadinejad (who even they think is kind of a nutjob) to derail 20 years of diplomatic and economic progress, especially with China as a new market for their oil.

If India is denied nuke fuel and tech (and we have pissed off Iran with the IAEA voting) then there is no choice but............coal :eek:

India has huge reserves of coal but unfortunately most of them are of the highly polluting type. So all the coal burning would result in this...
