This is not the American way! We refuse to use energy that doesn't cost the blood of our children in the middle east, and US wind and sun require none of their blood! It is simply un American! It is patriotic to unnecessarily send our kids to die unnecessarily, right? And if we allow the American public to demand science in this area, well, it will be hardly any time at all before they are demanding that the externalities of carbon fuels be handled the way cancer, health costs finally were handled with cigarettes, where the offender, the polluter pays. And if we want to kill 14,000 Americans with coal pollution to avoid the vicious ire of the coal industry, well that's our business, non-foreign-terrorist deaths are totally ok. And hey, they are our children, so if we want to hand them a dead ocean devoid of life, 50% of the world's species gone by 2075 - THEY ARE OUR KIDS. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL US TO STOP. This is the land of the Free-to-do-to-others-whatever-we-want-if-we-have-the-money-to-get-away-with-it! Love it, or leave it!

Yes, Iran must not get the bomb. You needn't bring your Holocaust hysteria into the mix to argue this. In doing so, you disgrace and defile the memory of those poor victims, and further draw hate on Israel by making so plain your detesting of the rest of us.
And you needn't bring your hysterical nonsense suggesting that given the bomb, Iran hates Israel so much that it will bring annihilation on itself just to extinguish Israel. There is one country in the middle east where we've seen that type of craziness over, and over, and over. It isn't Iran.
The biggest threat to Israel is it's own right wing's Hatefulness to the rest of the world. Stop it.
