Is Saudi Arabia building a ballistic missile factory a good idea ?

Another new kid on the block of nuclear proliferation. If we can't stop Iran why bother with S.A. ?

That’s for the Saudi people to determine.

As Americans, we’re in no position to ascertain whether it’s a good idea or not. We’re presently acting on dozens of horrible ideas and no one seems to care. If I were a Saudi, why would I take an American opinion seriously?

As long as the US, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, England, France, Israel etc etc don´t have automatic launch all missles, when the Saudies launch one against somebody, I am all for it.

However, non proliferation is a good idea! Because you don´t want a mad man like Individual 1 to have access to nukes. Oooh..shi....

I wish to God no one had nukes - I wish the damn things had never been invented - but as we not only have them, but have actually used them, it's pretty hard for me to condemn other countries for wanting them, too.

Why? They’ve used nothing stronger than poison gases on each other, but that’s not unprecedented. The Europeans were doing that to each other a century ago.

I would agree. I wish no nation had any WMD's, but it's substantially more dangerous to the world for a middle eastern or other unstable nation to have them as opposed to nations like the U.S. or Russia.
