I think most people are not educated of nuclear power. One day I was forced to give an impromptu speech to my class on why nuclear power plants could not actually go up in a mushroom cloud, barely anybody knew it, and they all must have thought that a nuclear power plant was similar to plugging some copper cables into an armed warhead
The official position of the United States government has been that any country that launches a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack would be retaliated upon by a similar attack. Since we no longer stockpile chemical weapons nor do we have any biological weapons, any one of those attacks would be met with nuclear firepower. Let's hope Iran isn't that stupid.

I know what you mean about nuclear power; so many people are ignorant of the process it makes me sick. But that is why we have Facebook groups like 'For those of us who aren't afraid of nuclear power.' I wish more people would take energy resources classes or nuclear reactor operations classes. I learned that the only way you can get significant radiation released from UW's research reactor is that you would have to pack the pool of the reactor full of explosives. Of course, there's a little problem with where the water goes and the fact that that is a semi-truck full of explosives. Or how you could steal the fuel bundles to take them somewhere to attempt to extract the uranium, to attempt to convert the uranium into a useful form for weapons construction, but the 10,000 rads of radiation one foot away from a bundle (in air) would kill you before you could get the damn thing out of the building. Common sense things like that seem to evade people who are against nuclear power...

This why we looked the other way as Saddam used chemical weapons to fight Iran, then used them against the Kurds? The US has selective attention. If it suits our own interests, like fighting radical Iranians, then we turn a blind eye. We obviously didn't nuke Iraq nor will be start nuking anyone for that matter. If Iran nukes Israel, the US could nuke Iran. But be prepared for massive fallout, IE Russia & China.

You'll need a rad-suit too, just in case.

Though, if you manage to be at ground zero, I guess it doesn't really matter.

Mil-surplus Czech cheek-filter gas masks for $10, Finnish canister masks for $40, Israeli civilian canister masks (NATO standard) for $90-100.

And Imperial, Saddam used chemical weapons a year before the U.S., U.K., Soviet Union, Singapore, Italy, and France came to his aid. Yes, France. Blame Jacque Chirac, I'm sure millions of French did.

Thats why im going with Barack, he is the only logical choice.

Iran is too predictable. It is perfectly clear that they are not building chems, or nukes. They don't have that high capacity, theirs is very limited to power plants only. And if Amhadehijad believes he can wipe out Israel, he better think again. We allready know what Israel is capable of doing. Heck they have even beaten an entire coalition of Arab nations, when they faced an oil embargo. In just 100 days of pure military defense.

And as for Clinton saying that the US could wipe out Iran, with a nuclear attack. Then it just goes to show you. That both sides, are full of bull.
