Look guys, on such a delicate topic, we shouldn't resort to name calling, tearing apart every little piece of a person's post, etc. Do you honestly think you're going to get through to someone that way? I've made this mistake before too, and from that experience, it simply doesn't work. I don't agree with PA's statements either, but there's no reason to be so degrading and accusatory.
PA, I want this war to be over just as quickly and painlessly as possible, just like you. But for the reasons I stated, the effects and consequences of using nuclear weapons in attempt to end the war will be neither quick nor painless. There would indeed be more long-term suffering than there is being created right now.
And wouldn't it be a little bit hypocritical for the U.S. to nuke the innocents in Iraq after the reason we began this war was the fear of nuclear weapons being used against our innocents here and those in other countries? We'd gain more enemies from other countries and lose much more support.
