| How to enrage the Iranian people:
We demand they halt development of any and all nuclear weapons, whilst at the same time discussing with allies the merits of developing such things as mini-nukes and bunker busters. You've got to laugh at the sheer offensive hypocrisy of it.
It's not like the US can even argue that it has never or would never use such weapons on other countries. They are the ONLY country in the world that's used them.

Gorbachev criticizes U.S. on nuclear arsenal, hypocrisy
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev warned the United States on Wednesday "to cure itself" of hypocrisy over nuclear arms and be prepared to cut its atomic arsenal and take it off "hair-trigger" alert.
Addressing a news conference with Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, Gorbachev said the United States should not suggest other nations disarm and make no move to do so itself.
"I think the United States is sick. It suffers from the sickness, the disease of being the victor and it needs to cure itself from this disease," Gorbachev said.
"I think Russia is ready to cooperate. Now the question is, is the United States -- which is the only remaining superpower -- is the United States ready to do this? I think not," he added.
