Another one that hurts

I wish that were true, but it simply is not the case that what any Muslim condemnation matters to the rest of us. Muslims decry and publicly repudiate terrorism and terrorist actions every time they occur, and people still continue to ask each and every time 'Why don't Muslims condemn terrorist acts' exactly as though nothing had ever been said. Or any other argument. But yeah, that calculation is about right.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Quite frankly, I think being the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons does cost the US quite a bit of credibility when speaking out on nuclear disarmament. We still have to do support non proliferation, but even the fact that we posses one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world does undermine our voice in that area.Do you really believe having nuked two cities does not cost us any credibility? You may have a point, but your line of argument may be undermining your attempts to make such a point. If you are going to build an argument based on questions, you should make sure you know your audience's response to those questions.Edited by NoNukes, : Two for to and two for tea.

No. Of course we can comment. The question is whether or not such comments carry weight. Don't put words in my mouth. The US can comment, but nations who wish to acquire nuclear weapons can understandably give those comments very little weight.ABE:Here is what I actually said: Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.
