so what will matter is that source of rage as you put it... and that release of expression will find its way to that side of the world where someone's skin will be singed

no it won't. the rage will be limited to message boards, blogs and Faux News.

I am sure that Iran or Israel is not Global in size. They are pissant countries that both will soon have nukes. We have a lot more problems back here at home that need addressing. I think Europe is much closer and may need to worry about the fallout. Let them address it if they are worried about it. We are not the police force of the world. It is very costly for us to keep reacting to these events with our over stretched troops. I want all the troops stationed all over the world to be brought back home now. They are not needed in Europe at all. Japan wants troops then let them build up their own forces. Same goes for Korea and many other countries. Bring all our troops home.

Iran and Israel are pissants - well said. Agreed on all other points as well.

Israel has nuclear weapons already. I am not advocating action but I am simply stating a position that nuclear Iran is bad, very bad, for everyone in the world and that may mean unfortunately that the USA will and should play world peace police to this issue

My opinion they are.

It's bad for Israel. The "whole world" meme is just Israeli scaremongering, trying to get the US to do its job.

Scaremongering... a nukes a nukes a nuke....

Not quite.

Nukes come in various sizes with a dizzying array of delivery technologies.

If Iran has one, it will be primitive and will only be able to damage Israel. Danger to the whole world? Not likely. Just Israeli scaremongering.

The U.S. should not play world policeman again. We always do and it costs the tax payers a lot of money and what do we get? We get fair weather friends that like us if we vote how they want us to and hate us and abandon us if we vote not the way they like. If the middle east and Europe and other countries that have a larger stake in these pissant countries have a problem let them handle it.

Let Japan build a military force now is it? Kamikaze, now. Seriously, perhaps now is a good time. To suggest they don't want to protect themselves though, well, what that's just funny.

Well what? Oh well, why not?

Nuke em, that would stop the program

See, there always is a way to solve a problem. The repercussions might suck, but that problem would be solved.

If Japan feels they need a military force then let them establish their own. As it stands now we subsidize their entire social network because all the money they would have needed for their national protection can be steered to more of a social network. We spend a lot of money over many decades ensuring they are safe from invasion. The same can be said of many countries in Europe. We have subsidized all these Socialists. If America all this time hadn't used our own military might then all the countries that were so threatened by a huge threat would have spent a lot more of their peoples taxes to bolster their own armed forces and thus siphoning off the money that have made them the Socialists paradise that our own people here want so badly.

We did get the raw end of the deal in many ways over the past 60 years or so. We gave Japan the tools to bury us without firing a shot.
