Nuking

On my post, Terrorists, Jojo posted a comment. It was about how in her geography class some kid said that we should nuke the entire Middle East and save ourselves a lot of problems. As Jojo brought up, that's just wrong, it's murder. However, that isn't the gist of it. It goes much deeper than just murdering a bunch of innocent Middle Easterners.

There are plenty of people in the U.S. who either are not bothered by murder like they should be, or they don't view Middle Easterners as human. So if it was just a matter of murder, I'm pretty sure it would've already become a major issue.

I think that one of the main reasons we don't even consider nuking the Middle East is because of China and plenty of the other countries in Asia. We depend economically on China for a lot of our goods. Take a good look at the map.

Look at how close China is to Middle East. Quite close actually. In fact, if we nuked the Middle East, nuclear radiation would probably reach into some of China. Not to mention, China is friends with some of those countries. They have defensive pacts and such with many of them. So by nuking the Middle East, even if they didn't care about the nuclear fallout entering their country, they'd have to declare war on us. If it was just China, we'd probably give them just as much damage as they'd give us, but it isn't. China would bring in several other countries. We can't take on all of them. Not to mention we wouldn't have any allies. If we decided to nuke the Middle East, all the European nations would back off, do economic sanctions, and pretend they never knew us. So if anyone ever says Hey, why don't we just nuke them. Tell them how stupid and dumb they are. Nuking anyone never helped anyone. What makes them think it's going to start now?
