Do you believe the threat from the USA having nuclear capabilities is the moral equivalent of Iran having them?

If so, justify your position, please.

The mind boggles.

America is the only nation in the history of the planet to ever use these weapons in war.

Iran's ( and many other nations) only chance in hell of defending themselves from invasion from Powerful western superpowers is to obtain nuclear weapons.

the reason the US doesnt want others to have nukes is that it weakens our position as a world power.

I root for the underdogs in this situation.

Rooting for the underdog, a noble sentiment indeed. Once they have nuclear capability I'll be rooting that they do not decide to proliferate their newfound expertise, I'll be rooting that they don't pull a powerplay in the straits of Hormuz, I'll be rooting that their President doesn't really believe what he says about the coming of the 12th Imam and/or wiping out Israel. But most of all what I'll be rooting for is for the people such as yourself, who hope for a nuclear Iran, that you and you alone bear the negative consequences of nukes in Iran's hands. Of course that can't happen, it's only a fantasy weatherman, undoubtedly you will still be able to bless us with your pearls of 'rooting' wisdom from the sanctity of your dorm room.
