You have a nuclear arsenal. You bought this at Wal-Mart. You get to nuke one Middle Eastern regime off the map.

For anti-delete purposes, I'm saying the government/nation, not people within the country.

I nuke Wal-Mart. Do we really want to do this?

does Kurdistan count?

lets face it sooner or later it will happen and its either this, bacteria or chemicals :(

We don't hjave wal-marts here in Poland, anyway, rather then to defeat the a middle eastern regime, I nuke Kansas, and possibly some other bible belt states.

Mercy nuke: Buffalo, NY.

But Kansas just declared evolution to be legal.

I'll nuke Poland, especially Warsaw... ;)

In response to this nuclear proliferation on my bible belt state of Florida, I use the remains of my arsenal on Switalia's house.

I'm going for Alabama, followed by Iraq.

But Kansas just declared evolution to be legal.
so? I can tell it's not going to last.

I nuke New Jersey. Because we really, really need to be put out of our misery. This counts as a Middle Eastern regime because we are in the middle of the East Coast. ;)

Oh. you know where I am? Okay, what is my address, down to the flat number?

Saudi Arabia, because they suck.

If I have any left I nuke Russia and the US to start World War Three! :D

The House of Saud must fall.

Tiring of mortal games, I take the nukes purchased at Wal-Mart and the rocketry I purchased at Target and place all the nukes in low orbit around Earth. I detonate them, thus wiping out absolutely nothing: since Target is French-owned and all Wal-Mart products are out-sourced to third-world countries, nothing works.

I nuke Wal-Mart headquarters.

It's between Iran and Yemen--Iran? Yemen? Iran? Yemen?

*removes quarter from pocket* Heads--Iran. Tails--Yemen.

It's heads. Goodbye, Tehran. You and your anti-Semite president can burn in--the eternal black nothingness of death.

We don't hjave wal-marts here in Poland, anyway, rather then to defeat the a middle eastern regime, I nuke Kansas, and possibly some other bible belt states.

I would stregically set off nukes to get no one but those who would attack such states because they dislike a few of the people.

Purely for the absolute hypocrasy of such a stance. :sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

I believe we have our winner, folks. :D

I'd nuke Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Wyoming, and Georgia.

I nuke Wal-Mart headquarters.

Indeed.


It's heads. Goodbye, Tehran. You and your anti-Semite president can burn in--the eternal black nothingness of death.

You'd kill thousands of Iranian Jews as a statement against anti-Semitism? Oh, the irony...

Would anyone even notice if you nuked Oman?

My friends,
I believe we are all missing the point here.
Paris Hilton has been presented as a viable target for a nuclear strike.
We finally have a chance to bring about her evil and destructive dominance over the media of liberty loving people everywhere.
In the interests of all that is still good and righteous in humanity, i reduce her to glowing ash.
And it is my fondest wish that, regardless of your views on these middle eastern states, we can unite-jews, muslims, christians and everyone else- hand in hand, to ensure that a great evil such as Paris Hilton is never inflicted upon the innocent children of the world again.

Thank you, and vote Paris Hilton in this poll.

Buying nukes from Wal-mart & buying nukes from North Korea, what's the difference? :D Besides, I wouldn't nuke any Arab nation without affecting Israel ;) & Russia and China are just right there, great neighbours to the Middle East:eek: Fourth, man, you got to have the balls or low brain cell count to follow through with it.

Would anyone even notice if you nuked Oman?

Oh man. Good point. You could wipe out an entire country and nobody would pay any attention beyond "Hey, wasn't there something there before? I can't remember what it is."

Oman is cool. :(

I agree with Isla del Libertidad, let us nuke the Paris Hilton; and maybe the Peoples Republic of Hollywood will fall with the remaining nukes.

Oh well if Paris has to go

Saudi Arabia. I'd like to see every member of the royal family hung by nooses made of pig intestines.

It's hard to choose between Iran and SA. But SA it is, since Iran only talks big, while SA is the ultimate incarnation of psychofundamentalism.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia. I'd like to see every member of the royal family hung by nooses made of pig intestines.

I wouldn't. That's gross.

Saudi Arabia. I'd love to see that entire family wiped out in one single stroke, and the palaces built by their peoples' suffering and exploitation vaporized in a single flash of atomic power. It would be a fitting end to an evil regime.

Iran, for sure. They took the most awful form of government, and made it even worse. That's a rather sad accomplishment.

I'd nuke Dubai, because they're far too amazing and that makes me jealous. Everytime I read about whatever their latest abusurdly extravagant building project, I can feel America's penis shriveling still farther back, losing yet more of its bouncing, phallic dignity.

That's why we've got an antenna on top of the Freedom Tower...it will make it just about as tall or taller than the Burj Dubai.

America needs to get its penis back by building a space elevator.

I don't want to nuke 'em, because that's way too quick a death. No, I want to see the moolah-cracy in Iran overthrown and every last one of them suffer a violent, painful and humiliating death. I want to see every ayatollah from Khamanei on down lined up against a wall, stripped naked and then shot. Then every Revolutionary Guardsman. And don't leave out A-Muddy-Dinner-Jacket and everyone else connected with the regime. :mp5:

Payback, baby.

*sigh* probably won't happen any time soon, though :(

Why does everyone feel the need to hate on Ahmadinejad? Am I the only one to look past his policies and abrasive personality to see what really matters: the pretty face and dress sense behind them.

Just looking at that picture makes me wish he would fly by my window on a nuclear missile some night, and carry me away to a magickal land of rainbows and governmentally enforced happiness.

i would nuke all but that place with the cool hotel

NAZIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Israel, just so people would shut up about the Jews.

Alot of problems would be solved if Isreal disappeared.

I find it suprising that people actually find it acceptable to nuke any country, especially over paris hilton.

Fortunatly, that will never happen :)

Hardly. The fact that they're jews has nothing to do about it. The fact that Israel was forced into existance by western nations feeling bad about the holocaust and is the main cause of anti-american terrorism in the world as well as conflict in the middle east does.

Israel, easy.

I find it suprising that people actually find it acceptable to nuke any country, especially over paris hilton.

I wouldn't mind doing it if and only if the people were evacuated first. I don't want any innocents to die when I wipe out the Saudi royal family.

It's hard to choose between Iran and SA. But SA it is, since Iran only talks big, while SA is the ultimate incarnation of psychofundamentalism.

That was my line of thought as well...plus I would actually like it if oil prices went crazy, so I get to kill two birds with one stone. :D

The entire fucking world. We all suck, we're all assholes. At one point or another every people/nation has been horrible to another, and deserves elimination. So we nuke the world and I finnally get to live out my dream of being The Road Warrior.

Israel, easy.


Bro do you really have such hate for them?

Remember what the Prophet Isa said, and that is that if you hate your brother, then you have committed murder, and as we are all from the same orgins, then then Israelis are as much of a brother and sister to you as I am, or any muslim is. I think you need to re-examine your hate, it is very un becoming of a Muslim.

The modern salafi movement exists independent of muslim grievances about Israel. The anti-American feelings due to US support to Israel may lessen due to disappearance of Israel, but it would be of no significance to those targeted by islamist terrorists elsewhere (who make up the bulk of victims to islamist terrorism).

Btw, my choice is KSA, hands down.

The Jews and Zionists are not my brothers. Muslims are my only brothers. The jews have declared war on Muslims and kill them everyday. Forgive me if I don't view them kindly.

I read it everyday. In fact here is a quote from it.

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued"

If they attack Muslims, it is fair to fight them even if they are people of the book.

The Muslims and Jihadists are not my brothers. Westerners are my only brothers. The Muslims have declared war on Westerners and kill them everyday. Forgive me if I don't view them kindly.

...see how dumb this sounds?????

I am a kind person and I do not want conflict. However I can't be silent when I see Muslims under seige.

I'll go Israel simply out of curiosity to see if Hezbollah et al lay down their arms and get a proper job or if they find some new excuse

Yemen, because they suck. Yeah, Yemen.

"...until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued"

Fnarr fnarr

I am a kind person and I do not want conflict. However I can't be silent when I see Muslims under seige.

Well, look at it from this perspective:

The Israelis are like wolves, and the arabs are also like wolves.

The Israeli pack was put back in the wild, into a territory that had been taken over by the arab pack. Well, now both sides fight for territory, but what they don't realize is that the fighting won't end until both packs are either dead, or join together.

So with that being said, yes there is wrong on the Israeli side, yes they are a bunch of twats much of the time, but so are many arasbs and muslims. Now we can solve the problem in two ways, and there are ONLY two ways. Total destruction of both people, or the joining together of both people.

Which would you prefer?

I am really getting tired of this argument about whether Israel has a right to exist. It has as much right as any other artificially created country. And guess what, they're all artificially created. You need to finally realize that all borders are constructs and that the only real differences are that one fool says that his religion is more legitimate than another fool's religion and that the fools are ready to kill over this idiocy (aided and abetted by a third idiot who wants the resources left when the fools kill each other off over a stupid difference between the names of Allah, Jehovah and Christ). Get over this crap and let the rest of us get on with our lives - with or without Allah, Jehovah, Christ or oil!

I am a kind person and I do not want conflict. However I can't be silent when I see Muslims under seige.

Look at the fucking map of the middle east, isn't it easy to see that Isreal is the real nation under seige here? They're surrounded by billions of Arabs and Muslims. Isreal is by no means placing the rest of the middle east under seige.

Why Sudan is not in the list? I mean it is currently probably only country in the world that actively practices genocide, that Saudi Arabian, Syrian, Iranian and Israeli s**t is nothing compared to that.

Iran

At high altitude

Operation Light Switch...EMP attack and blind their intelligence..then take out every last airbase, every last army base, every SAM emplacement and their Navy in one massive coordinated operation.

Then tell the Iranian people in a HUGE leaflet drop that while we are busy keeping the military occupied.....they're free to stage their own Tianmen Square.

Give Iran back to its people. Kill the theocracy and give the people back their destiny.

Nice plan and all....but "Tianmen Square!" it was a fucking slaughter of Innocent Civilians at the hands of the PLA...and then they billed the families of the dead for the bullets they used to kill they're loved ones....

I nuke New Jersey. Because we really, really need to be put out of our misery. This counts as a Middle Eastern regime because we are in the middle of the East Coast. ;)

Every country is east of something and in middle of something else.

Stop global warming: NUCLEAR WINTER NOW!;)

"Then tell the Iranian people in a HUGE leaflet drop that while we are busy keeping the military occupied.....they're free to stage their own Tianmen Square."

So the one time their entire armed forces are busy doing something else we ask the Iranian people to sit down in a big square and do nothing for a couple of months? A plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it!

A little problem: the EMP attack is going to kill a lot of Iranians also, via neutrons. Also the Tien-an-Men square isn't a happy example of a successful uprising for democracy, don't you think so?
Also, Iran isn't a total theocracy, there are some bits of democracy (significantly larger bits than other places like Saudi Arabia, just to name one...)

Saudi Arabia.

And the runner up is the United Arab Emirates. Anyone who lives there is compliant with slavery and deserves the full force of nuclear annihilation.

You have a nuclear arsenal. You bought this at Wal-Mart. You get to nuke one Middle Eastern regime off the map.

For anti-delete purposes, I'm saying the government/nation, not people within the country.

i was going to vote saudi arabia, since its mi least favourite BUT you gave a paris hilton option. so she get my nuke vote.

I'm saying the government/nation, not people within the country.Only for countries where the people do not elect the government.

I would nuke Israel (I don't know, something about their style of 'democracy' that pisses me off than the blatantly obvious theocratic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia).

Since when was it possible to nuke the government of a country and NOT the people?

Anyway, I am opposed to nuclear weapons.

Saudi Arabia. Looking at it religiously, they've hijacked Islam and destroyed Holy Shrines. Looking at it secularly, they've killed all who don't agree with their form of Islam or they beat them to a bloody pulp, AND they're funding terrorists in Iraq (the people who are fighting the civilians). There is also a rumor that they are helping Pakistan with their nukes or that Pakistan is handing them nukes.

On top of that, they are oil-hungry. As was said in the great show "Little Mosque on the Prairie": "The Saudis wouldn't see the moon unless oil was shooting out of it".

I would nuke Israel (I don't know, something about their style of 'democracy' that pisses me off than the blatantly obvious theocratic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia).

I think (and I'd probably get flamed for this) that Israel and Saudi Arabia are all on the same plane of evilness (now I sound like Bush). It's just that Saudi Arabia has already taken over Shrines while Israel is preparing.

I only have one nuke anyway, so why waste it on the Israelis when I could use it against "King" (Dictator) Abdullah?

Yes, we know you masturbate to people dying. Now go play in the sandbox while the adults talk.

The only "masturbation" going on here is the moral masturbation of people on your side of this (or any other) argument. As for "adulthood", let us know when you finally get there.

And yes, I certainly will enjoy watching ayatollahs, moolahs and Revolutionary Guardsmen die. Just like I enjoyed watching the video of Khomeini's funeral when that worthless stiff was knocked out of the coffin and down into the dirt to be stepped on and dishonored, like it deserved :D

Ugh, anti-Muslim ignorance rears its ugly head again.

Reading the beginning of that verse, you'll see that it was talking about those whom we defeated on a Physical Jihad. Physical Jihad is a war which is started only for self-defense for yourself and/or innocent people. Don't bring me the "then why did the first 3 Caliphs conquer?" because I believe the first 3 Caliphs to be usurpers in the first place.

Remember the time when 12 year olds who have no arguments and don't have the brainpower to debate hijacked this thread?

Look at the fucking map of the middle east, isn't it easy to see that Isreal is the real nation under seige here? They're surrounded by billions of Arabs and Muslims. Isreal is by no means placing the rest of the middle east under seige.

Just as a quick note, Israel is not surrounded by "billions of Arabs and Muslims". Not everyone in the Middle East is Muslim, and not everyone in the Middle East is Arabic. In fact, there aren't even billions of people in the Middle East. The total population, excluding Israel, is around 265,705,848.

Remember the time when 12 year olds who have no arguments and don't have the brainpower to debate hijacked this thread?

Hijacks happen. This thread wasn't exactly debating before either.

I would nuke the nukers so they wouldn't be able to nuke again.

There is also a rumor that they are helping Pakistan with their nukes or that Pakistan is handing them nukes.

They funded it. Look up Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's tours after 1971.

It is just muslim ignorance. :p

Your view is that of a shia who make up less than 15% of muslims. All the sunnis consider the first four caliphs to be rightly guided. Meaning what they did (conquests and invasions) was rightly guided and hence not wrong.

Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman may be demons to you, but they are very revered figure for all sunni muslims (again, they make up most muslims). It is drummed into their heads since childhood.

Saudi Arabia, just as soon as my uncle and his family stops working there.

the UAE.

I don't believe those are the only two solutions to the problem.

Iran, followed by Saudi, although the Saudis may take the top spot, depending on how they respond once the US ditches Iraq.

I do not like Saudi Arabia. Exporting oil and terror in equal quantities is just mean.

I say we nuke Paris Hilton and all of Hollywood with her. Once this is done, we can finally stop asking everybody if they heard about Tom Cruise's sex change or Nicholas Cage's addiction to Pepto Bismol and blah blah blah.... Just destroy Hollywood and our problems in this nation are solved.

It's hard to decide. I mean, are we talking wiping out the entire country, or just it's government? Because I harbor no ill will towards the people of these countries.

Talking Governments, however, probably Saudi Arabia. And I'd nuke some Israeli weapon warehouses.

I nuke Wal-Mart. Do we really want to do this?

Damn it, he beat me to it.

Saudi Arabia is evil, but I wouldn't nuke it. It's not the people's fault their leaders suck.

I'm assuming the 'anti-muslim ignorance' is aimed at the concept that Islam is inherently violent rather than my admittedly Beavis-inspired juvenilia.

Regardless, it's disingenuous to say the Quran is not filled with violent exhortations to destroy infidels just as it would be to say the Old Testament is a peaceful loving book. Given the context of the timesthey were written both books are tribal-inspired writings aimed at unifying one people against all others. Fundamentalists on both sides take them as literally as they want.

The main problem is that the rulers of Saudi Arabia, among others, base the legitamacy of their power on religion and, as the world globalises, that legitamacy comes under threat. The last time this happened we had the Spanish Inquisition, witch-burning and, conversely, the settling of America, as the Enlightenment threatened the existing power base in Europe.

Tiananmen, actually, is not too bad a comparison given it was caused by the opening of China and the increased dialogue between students in the West and those in China. The government clamped down, no country intervened and, given I've lived in China for the past 7 years, it's hard to say that the country isn't vastly more free than 15 years ago, not perfect perhaps but not that bad either

Why Saudi Arabia?

Why Saudi Arabia?

Because they're an insanely repressive, brutal, and corrupt country that is one of the biggest sponsors of terrorism in the world?

Surely also one of America's biggest trading partners, a friendly monarchy, and a state that provides universal post-secondary education.

A totalitarian dictatorship where homosexuality, apostasy, witchcraft, etc. are punishable by death; women can't vote, drive, go outside without a male relative, or leave the country without a man's permission (they can also be executed for being raped!); where all religions but Islam are banned; where corruption is rampant; and a monarchy of camel humping savages who pretend to be our friends while sponsoring terrorism.

thats them all right

True - it's a tough call - my only point is to say that the threat to religious fundamentalism is causing a great deal of the problems in the Middle East, just as the threat to the Catholic Church caused much of the brutal repression in Europe 400 years ago.

I'd say, though I'd be happy to back down, that Saudi Arabia has the strongest fundamental element influencing government of all Middle Eastern countries.

savages

Why do you insult savages?

Actually, I was joking... implying that the Saudi regime was more "savage" than the "savages."

Though on a more serious note, it is interesting that we use "civilized" as synonymous with "decent" (and "savage" and "barbaric" as synonymous with the opposite), considering the horrific atrocities that have been committed by plenty of civilizations and civilized people....

Germany.

A little problem: the EMP attack is going to kill a lot of Iranians also, via neutrons.

Um...no... There are no neutrons, and no one dies if the bomb is detonated in the high atmosphere.

EMP does not create neutrons.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/intro/nuke/emp.htm

A neutron device and a nuclear emp device are two different things.

Nice try and wrong.

Israel, because then they'd detect it and nuke several others in retaliation, giving me several for the price of one.
