Romney: US has moral duty to block Iran nuclear plans

Source: BBC News

US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said his country has a "moral imperative" to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Mr Romney, speaking during a visit to Jerusalem, said Iran was the most destabilising country in the world.

He said the US recognised Israel's right to defend itself and that it was right for the US to stand with Israel.

fate for it falls on the US to make the world safe for democracy (American-styled vulture capitalism at its most ravenous, ala Bain).

He does NOT speak for us. He is a tourist!! He's not even the Nominee yet!

I'm sure his handlers and his money bags are teling him to go over there and act like he has the job already.

He has no business going there and making these statements. He is a private citizen. Period.

Hell, why not? I hadn't used it for years."

I don't think he's going to get the rousing reception he thinks he's going to get. Nobody is sicker of war than people in the Middle East. While they wouldn't mind having us do their dirty work for them, they know they couldn't avoid getting dragged into it forever.

We have been warned repeatedly during the past 10-15 years that Iran is "close" to making a nuclear bomb. If that was true they would certainly have one by now. If that wasnt true then why should we believe the warnings now.

rather thought that the Christian moral authority said...

"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
