Fighting Evil

RE: Fighting Evil
Most world powers aren\'t interested in anything but two things. Money and staying in power.

In a political climate today (of course this is just my interpretation) you can\'t admit failures unless the media or public forces you into it. Let\'s face it admit failure in any of your decisions and you commit political suicide.

Money, while difficult to say that everyone wants it badly. Look at each country in the world trying to keep their currency in good shape. Import/Export is all regulated by fear of losing money even if that would equate to better services to your people.

So ultimately money is in a stronger favour then people in some regards.

Now take the question of using brute force to take over a country full of extremists. Pun says \"Nuke it baby, if they (assume terrorists) light one in our cities.\" 1 lunatic responsible for a demise of some middle eastern cities? Surely that\'s outrageous. It sounds a lot like the cold war rules applied to modern conflict.

Modern conflict consists of people who\'ve lost everything being brainwashed (willingly or not) into suicide bombers for the sake of it. Does a suicide bomber care where he inflicts damage? His homeland? No problemo. The IRA does bombings in their home country? Iraqi resistance blow up bombs in Iraq. Not a problem.

If city X in western society gets nuked by terrorist (not a specific country), then surely chaos would ensue. Now here\'s your problem most of these terrorists might be spread all over the world. Declare the middle east as evil and nuke it? Whoa, where do YOU think a lot of precious oil will come from. By the time the first nuke hits an islamic city the world is already doomed. Welcome to world war 3 and this time not dominated by old fashioned war, but also by religion. Remember tactically world war 1 and 2 were not really fighting against a certain religion. So there if you were to enforce those ideas Pun would you have to \'cleanse\' your cities of innocent people for the sake of enforcing those ideas you fear?

Everyone will be paranoid as heck and a many of people will die innocently. If there is still a world afterwards then it won\'t be as good as we have it now.

Still let\'s take it we don\'t nuke a middle eastern city, their governments can have extreme pressures applied to. They can be forced to hunt down the people responsible. A small amount of western people might blow themselves up in islamic cities.

Oh well I believe this picture i\'m painting isn\'t going to be very nice, I would definitly not nuke middle eastern cities. Instead of a small amount that don\'t like you you would have half a content happy to turn you into roasted kebabs (Forgive me for the joke there). Now you have deemed a whole religion as evil and ignited the wasp nest.

Trust me if the world is the same in 50 years time then i\'d be awefully happy. Happy as in I can feed myself, spent some time with family and all. It doesn\'t take a lot to disturb our lives.

Don\'t do anything stupid world governments around to world!

And pun this is just an attempt to paint the picture of the world after the events you described. You can only kill so many people with atombombs. Also like to point out that I never say America in this post above, remember france has got some nukes too.
