why's the usa the only with mass destruction weapons???

[Purple]

Why should the USA be the only one with all the mass destruction weapons? They go down to the poor and helpless countries, and demand to see their weapons... If there's going to be a war why should the US be the only ones with nukes and bombs and whatever mayhem-making weapons of world wide terror to bomb the poor and defenceless places in the world? They are the biggest and the richest place, their power has already been showed, why should they be allowed to go on terrorising others? Someone need to plant their foot in the Bush! Kick his ass..........or something...

"yeah I shot the bum twice in the ass and once in the back when he tried to escape... can you believe it; he broke into the kitchen and stole all my food for the barbeque party...." (heard from a robbery"victim", in Beverly Hills)

Better shoot him. And also, it would be kind of useful to have him read this info:

But, actually, I'm not sure if he knows how to read, and even if he does, I'm not sure whether he understands anything besides his own brainwashed thoughts.

this is a common anti-war sentiment that lots of people have said. that America has nuclear weapons, but Iraq is not allowed.

the reason is because Iraq lost the Gulf War. it invaded Kuwait to satisky its own imperialist agressions and lost. part of the peace treaty was the right not to build WMD. its the same reason Germany has such a small armed forces.

[nz revolution]

I always get confused when people say that.

With the attempted storming of the US embassy here or occupation if thats what you are telling the cops you were only trying to do. Someone said they are the only ones with them.

Did Russia's nukes dissapear when Gorbachov was abdicated? China has them don't they? Britain? France...

The US is the only one who has used them yes.

[Saint-Just]

It is that the U.S. does not want the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. If you have them you can retain them, however the U.S. does not want any country to create any more.

Since the U.S. has around 20,000 nuclear warheads, they are substantially ahead of most countries. Russia, China, U.K., France are major nuclear power too.

They are not saying that no one should have them but rather no one esle should be able to develope them.

[Doshka]

in theory, comrads, all countries should be allowed equality...in weapons and other issues ofcourse...but in practice the U$ is the strongest country in the world today, it is a capitalist, hypocritical lie, which pretends to be a democracy...basically it feels threatened by any country which could become strong enough to fight or stand up to it...any country that even comes close... having the arms that it does, like any bully, the U$ attacks the weak...a true terrorist...and come on people! stop giving bush all of the credit! that idiot wouldnt know his ass from a hole in the wall...its not him thats doing all of this...its the system, for decades working through pea-brained apes trained to kill.
please understand that this is just more reason and cause to fight and never give up, hasta la victoria siempre

the US and Russia both have about 6,000 nukes. they're probobly gonna get down to about 1700 each soon.

[Saint-Just]

I was previously under the impression that the U.S. had more than 6000 nukes. I don't think they will go to 1700 will they? China has around 2,500.

[Beccie]

What you have said, an average dude, reminds me of a quote:

“A crime is not a crime if we commit it” – I think John Pilger.

September 11 has a horrendous crime, according to the US. But the bombing of innocent afghan civilians, and the impending bombing of Iraqi civilians for revenge is justifiable.

America claims the Saddam has weapons of mass destruction that he is not afraid to use. But America also has WMD, will they use them on Iraq?

The hypocrisy of the US is laughable.

with China moving towards being a superpower, and the Ruskies looking more Chinese/EU orientated in the foreign policy, i think it'd be unwise to go that low. i'm almost certain the US and Russia both have around 6000 though. i'll look into it.

Don't forget the other country with a large stockpile of nukes, Israel.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

The reason why Iraq cannot have any WMD is beacuse it has shown itself to be athreat to the surrounding area, which it is. Yet, the US is claiming that Iraq is a threat to the entire world, which it isn't at all. The US's requests for a halt in the global development of WMD is not entirely hypocritical since the US is also not currently developing any nuclear weopons. Besides, the US would only use it's weapons once it brainwashed the American population to think it would be okay, then in the eyes of the government it would be okay, regardless of what the international community thought. The US also doesn't any third-world countries to own WMD beacuse these weapons could easily end up in the hands of potential terrorists.

Pakistan, India and Syria for example?

your very right thank you for bringing this up...and who supplied them with nukes...doesnt take a rocket geniouse to catch a trend

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

I thougt much more.

The USA has nukes aimed at the whole world, every nation with even a little might. That asks more than 6000 nukes. I always thought of numbers like 15000.

[Doshka]

just to enlighted you guys about israels nukes...they are also refusing the nukelear inspection, but ofcourse the U$ is overlooking this because they want israel to be the regional superpower to keep the people of the region under check, again another example of the hypocracy of th states and how selecive they are. ther logic is might is right, it is our duty as people, comrads, to reject this, i find it amazing that the rest of the governments of the world, while they talke about human rights and peace and the dangers of weapons of mass destruction they overlook israel completely...hasta la vistoria siempre
