I.N.D.I.A. = "prophecy About Knowledge Increasing Shows That Armageddon's Nearer, Vindicating Eschatological Revelations Skeptics Unendingly Soft-pedal. It's Now Daniel's Information Age...."

Read chapter 12 of the Book of Daniel. The knowledge-increase (science) is tantamount to a knowlege explosion in the original Hebrew.... Thus the increase of science doesn't disprove the Bible as atheists maintain, but rather confirms the holy Bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE THREAT?! So Middle Eastern countries have nuclear weapons, why does that give us a right to attack them? America has nukes 'for defence' and what is there to say that the middle east only want them for defence as well? Why do we have to attack them just because they've up'd their defences a little? Take 9/11 for eg, something must have pissed off the middle easterns or they would have had no reason to do it. People don't kill othersfor no reason unless there crazy.can crazy do that?

How about this .. my friend said just nuke the middle east .. I was like 'fuckg no' but then I thought about it .. it would solve everything! No more terrorists, no more threats, no more terrorists .. wait, did I say no more terrorists? Yeah! I mean its totally impractical but w.e

or just destroy all the nukes on the whole planet. Kinda unfair if we have the US and Russia controlling all of them .. : /

Israel should not have nukes. That would explain why other Arab countries want it as well (Iran & Syria). The best would be for Israel to surrender it's nukes to the US for dismantling, before a weapons race ignites in the Middle East.
