Yes, there is some division on this issue, the question is why. Is it the humanity? The news sites are also divided, that's OK, but deliberately refus...

The use of violence in resistance is not permitted by International Law, is it? There may have been a non-violent, though possibly illegal method to f...

The answer would be yes, if there was no other way to win the war, or for that matter, shorten the war. One possibility is development of the atomic b...

I don't think Iran will risk its oil tanks. If they have not done anything now I don't think they will.
