Iran to Target NATO Shield in Turkey if Threatened

Why can't Iran have nuclear warheads? It's not like they're gonna use them. I hate that Israel can have nukes but Iran can't.
[QUOTE=SilentOpp;33489499]Why can't people just leave our shield alone and instead of threatening to blow ours up, just make their own.
I'd rather have a ton of anti-icbm missile shields than a ton of nukes pointing at each other.[/QUOTE]
Because a lot of countries can't afford to build their own missile shields and if only one side has a missile shield then the whole idea of MAD will go out the window. The only real way that a smaller country could become protected by a shield is if they were to align themselves with a larger power or to create a large military alliance (such as NATO) and maybe this is just me, but I don't like the sound of two, enormous intercontinental military alliances. It sounds a lot like the beginnings of a new world war.
