How should the world respond to Iran's missile test?

It seems that Iran does not listen to anyone. How should the world respond to its hostile attitude?

 

Listen to who exactly and to what?

Is it listening to "don't make a nuclear weapon"? Even though they have all the rights to obtain nuclear weapons, but maybe the ones who say so should listen to Iran when they say we are not interested in nuclear weapons but in peaceful usage for nuclear energy, inspectors are welcome to check.

 

How about everyone either stop making nukes, or create a defense system that can hit a mosquito on a sweaty radical halfway across the world.

Iran getting closer to having the nuke helps force the major powers in the world to have to cooperate if they'd like the status quo to be maintained.

As with North Korea, watch how foreign policy towards Iran shifts towards offering many more carrots than sticks...

...And it's all based on the fears of our fathers who entered into the atomic age. We've grown up knowing full well the world can end at any time and have accepted that. As such we can live in a way that is independent of what the chess players and saber rattlers would like us to. All we need is universal fraternity.

 

The world should not respond. Responding to stuff like this only makes them believe they are doing the right thing. Just ignore them, any military response would lead to more and more casualities. Political pressure is the only option...

 

Yeah, that plan has worked out so well with north Korea, what could possibly go wrong?

Like a chicken responds to a june bug.

 

congratulation to iranian that they missiles test are very successful.

Well done.
Iran have all the rights to defend her self.

 

Iran is not hostile, secondly, why should they listen to anyone? Did America took permission when it made a nuclear weapon, or did they took permission when they dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

To answer your second part, I would say, the world should sit back and watch, and if they think that Iran should not have nuclear weapons, then they themselves should first shun away from making any further nuclear weapons and destroy their own nuclear bombs and weapons.

 

Maybe your country would like to start that movement. Chinese can't be that hard to learn... millions of chinese toddlers can speak it.

 

Sadly, rexertea really has a point there.

To truly end these conflicts we need to end our identities.

Humanity is no where near this yet, though the desire has never been stronger I think in as many people.

It is hypocritical to think we can police the world and interfere within the borders of a sovereign nation but refuse to listen or adhere to international policies we hold as unpopular (Kyoto).

The nation that leads by example is the one that will rule.

To do that you need to remove fear, which may very well mean disarming yourself, looking into the barrel and daring them to pull the trigger.

Pacifism is compliance with cruelty; tread softly but carry an unimaginably big stick (just not one that can indiscriminately kill...everything...that's the wrong idea).

 

Here's how the real world functions

• If we led by disarming ourself unilaterally we would not serve mankind, we would serve coffee to somebody that doesn't.
• There's a technical term for "looking into the barrel and daring them to pull the trigger". Suicide.
• Pacifism has nothing to do with cruelty, nor with carrying any kind of stick. That hippie throwback sounding line is cute but meaningless.

Where do you get that stuff... bumper stickers and bad Hallmark cards? Reminds me of PETA protesters breaking in to release wild animals... and getting killed by 'em.
Helps to know what you're doing and who you're dealing with.

 

Funny that everyone is making noises about Iran and not even a whimper where North Korea and this country are concerned.

 

People were very concerened, untill we reslised that north koreas "nuclear bomb" was just a bomb with pultoniam taped to it.

It always makes me laugh when people try to justify iran having nuclear weaopns by pointing out someone else that has them. Think of it in terms of gun licences. Some people are allowed them and some, because of mental instabilities, aren't.

At the moment Iran aren't allowed to have them because they can't be trusted with them, it's as simple as that.

 

then let them speak, nobody has stopped them

 

Actually President Obama has expressed numerous times that he wants to start a global disarmament of nuclear weapons for everyone.

Get your facts right and find another talking point. Thanks.

 

I mentioned the errors made with North Korea in my first post. Get your facts straight. [Heck George, must be an epidemic.]

 

I say we nuke them

 

You mean Iran or people that dont get their facts straight? Be specific... I already have my finger on the button.

 

Why Iran listen to any one? did other countires who try missile or nuclear listen any one?

Iran and every country has right to test what they want to protect them from their enimies

 

It's not so much Iran having them, as selling them to people that are even more irresponsible than Iran.

On top of that, Iran's rhetoric about pushing Israel into the sea, and how the west must be destroyed, etc., just proves the point, they are not responsible enough to have them Period.
