Post details: Why Iran cannot have nukes

Why Iran cannot have nukes English (UK)

Allow me to breifly capture a thought.

Iran cannot have nukes because it would induce further concessions to strict Islamic rules in this country which would affect the secular majority, and create an environment where lifestyles are increasingly determined by central goverment dictat. Initially that lifestyle would be shaped to be more compatible with the Islamic lifestyle already lived by a minority who choose it (and people do choose it). Alcohol adverts might be curtaild, piglet might be banned from workplaces criticism might be regulated. Once the principle is established, anything is vulnerable.

Iran is, if you like, an external pressure that may lead us further to our Orwellian future, but maybe that is a link too far.

In anycase we must preserve that quality of London, and I would argue England as a whole, that provided you do not interfere with anyone else you can lead your life entirely in your own way.

Sometimes when there's a lot going on in your head its nice to get it out on paper. Paper's too old fashioned so this programmer does it online. I'm 25 living in London and trying to develop an intelligent opinion about how the world should work. I'm not all there yet, so do help me out.
