Default Re: The Case Against the War

"I think only democratic-style governments should have nukes".

Why do even they havethe right to nukes? A democracy has the right to take decisons that affects itself. It doesn't ahve the right to take decisions that affect others adversely, just because it's a democracy. THat's what I don't get about the argument that the US and Israel are deomcracies, and therefore shouldn't come in for so much flack, buyt should rather be venerated. They treat their own citizens well (well, most of them), sure, which is admirable, but they don't treat other peoples in a manner consistent with democracy.
