Iran Should Not Be Allowed To Develop Nuclear Weapons

Before I begin, I would like to apologize for not answering your third point. I must have neglected to notice it. As you stated back in round 2, diplomacy has not worked against Iran. Economic sanctions do not particularly hurt the Iranian government either. Because of this, the only remaining option is an Invasion of Iran. You said this would raise oil prices, but Iran is not the only nation that has oil. The international oil markets can shift away from Iran and buy from Iraq or Kuwait or whatever other country. As for civilians being hurt by economic sanctions, they would also be hurt by an invasion, but a bad economy would be worth saving a group of people from extinction. As for the costs of a military invasion, I have confidence that Israel (backed by the US) could defeat and temporarily occupy Iran. However, I admit that overthrowing these very old regimes in the Middle East always lead to instability. Now, I will move on to answering challenges raised that you raised in your previous turn. You criticized my Nazi Germany analogy, saying that they were moved to barbarianism by their horrible economy caused by the war reparations required according to the Treaty of Versailles. The Nazis took power and forced their beliefs on Germany. However, many Germans supported what the Nazis were doing. Now let me contrast Nazi Germany to Iran. Iran/Persia has always been a civilized nation. In the Middle Ages they were known for their fine rugs and beautiful mosques and stuff like that. But in Iran today, like what happened in Nazi Germany, Iran has been taken over by a group of radicals. Yes, there are differences to why the Nazis hated the Jews then and why the Mullahs hate Jews today. But the point is, they both hate Jews, and different motives for wanting to wipe them out doesn't really matter here. And perhaps you were right when you said Iran would immediately be known for what it did if it nuked Israel. There would be a retaliation, and Iran would be destroyed. So I now have to prove that Iranian leaders would virtually commit suicide to wipe out Israel. what you don't understand is how closely linked the destruction of the Jews is to Islam. The Islamic view of the end times involves Muslims attacking the Jews and wiping them out. If there was a Biblical prophecy that the end times would come when one million Christians did the hokey pokey, I'm sure a million Christians would do the hokey pokey to see the end times through, whether it came or not. Consider Charles Manson. If the apocalyptic "Helter Skelter" he predicted was to come to pass, he may very well have been among those who would've died. He wouldn't have any more power, because he'd be dead. All of his followers would be dead too, so even if he lived he'd have no one to rule over. Yet he was willing to do what it took to make the "Helter Skelter" happen (thankfully it didn't). You've implied that no one is willing to kill themselves to bring about the apocalypse, and this is simply untrue. Next, you said that the "Death to Israel" chants are not to be taken literally. Let's put it this way: many mass shooters show some kind of evidence that they're going to kill people. They might leave a Facebook post saying "gonna kill people LOL" or their psychiatrist may say that he fantasized about killing people and about his previous incarnation being an Auschwitz guard (yes, this happened with one killer in I think it was the UK). You also said that my sources are unreliable. Some of my information came from "Atomic Iran," and the guy who wrote that book had a Ph.D. Some of my other sources include Wikipedia, which is usually a pretty reliable source. I'm not simply making up "facts." Finally, you said that suitcase nukes are hard to make. So are nuclear bombs, but the isolated nation of North Korea made them, and Iran's been getting help from Russia. Implying that a suitcase nuke, if created, could not be smuggled into a city is an absurd declaration (you like using the word "absurd," but it's my turn to say it now). Something the size of a suitcase (or even a car) quite easily be smuggled into a city. Even a car-sized bomb could be smuggled in at night or smuggled inside an 18-wheeler. This is perhaps your only ridiculous argument. My "consession of your third point" was accidental, and I've answered that challenge now. I've removed the "nails from my coffin" by answering your challenges. And as I've stated before, you really should get that book, "Nuclear Iran," if only to rent it from a library. And I don't think anybody's watching this debate, so I could just start posting gibberish if I wanted to.
