Who do you mean khomeini, Khameini or Almadjinejad? I'm guessing you mean Ayatolla Khameini and know what you are talking about.\n\nThis is one of Ayatolla Khameini speaches about nuclear power from his site\n\nToday we have two options in front of us. One is to take it easy, not to bother about anything, show no resistance and do not work hard to achieve a thing, as some elements and some journalists, among them certain paid writers, suggest. They are in fact telling the Iranian youth: Donât bother, you cannot resist the big powers of the world, you canât overcome them by resistance and hard work; if you like to have nuclear energy, if you want to have access to scientific facilities, if you desire that the world media, radios, televisions and international press do not conspire against you, if you like to have all this things, then you must submit to American arrogance and the wishes of the world powers!! These people of course form a small minority but unfortunately what they suggest is this: the easy, comfortable way for Iranians is to put up their hands vis-Ã -vis the United States!\nWhat does this really mean? It clearly means that an ancient country like Iran with all its cultural, human and material resources and the climatic, geographical advantages should put everything it has at the disposal of an arrogant, world-devouring, ever greedy power called the United States of America! Yet there is another option: to move forward with our own power and to follow our own aspirations with dignity and independence. We should ask ourselves: what sin did the Iranian people commit?! Only this: they decided to live according to their own identity, culture and national determination, to think for themselves and to work for their ideals according to their own will. \nWhy should Iran be labelled a âdeveloping countryâ? This is a euphemism. The label really means backward and undeveloped. Why? Are the mental, intellectual and scientific talents of the Iranian people less than others? Less than those who happened to be scientifically decades ahead of us? No, certainly not, the mental, intellectual power is there, but why are they ahead of us and what happened that we are now lagging behind them? The blame, in one word, should be laid upon those despotic monarchs who ruled this country for the last two hundred years, those dictatorial dynasties who only cared for their own filthy personal lusts. Why did they oppress the people and suppress their voices? Because they did not want the people to be awake, because they themselves were the lackeys and servants of the powers who were plundering Iran. Surely when the owner of a house is awake, his house cannot be easily burgled. So they wanted a dormant, lazy nation. Reza Shah was appointed and supported by the British and, his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was kept in power by an American-British compromise. For some fifty years they kept the Iranian people in backwardness and we missed some of the best international opportunities for our progress. \n\n\nAs foreinger I dont have too much opinion about Khameni, But in 2005 he made a fatwa against use and stock piling of nuclear weapons. So I don't think Iran will be irresponsible with nuclear power. It just wants to develop technology and living standard improvements for peaful uses. After all you would you trust more with a nuke; A country that always goes to war, and has been the only country to use it before?? or Iran.\n\nI think that there is a big misunderstanding about Iran. Before I visited Iran I didn't how big supporter for human rights was Ayatolla Khomeni!, and all he did for women's education. Khomeni has such a distorted image in the west.\nAnd Almadinejad was voted in because he cared about the poor, those that had been fogotten by the liberal reforms. I think he is basically an honest man, but he is not a politian! He says too many stupid things (a bit like George Bush maybe) And he should lear

Iran's president IS nuts, basically. He's spouting nonsense for internal consumption and hasn't completely understood yet that the international media picks it up and runs with it. Iran may or may not really be nuclear capable, but the ayatollahs who really run the country want their populace to think so. In any case, don't bomb them...yet.

If I had to pick one country, I'd support an attack on Iran. Iran is ruled by a fundamentalist theocracy that blatantly lends financial support to terrorists operating in Lebanon and in other countries around the globe. These terrorists pose a direct threat to U.S interests, both domestically and abroad.\n\nThe fundamentalist Iranian President has brainwashed the population into believing that the whole world is out to destroy Islam, and that leading this fight are the Americans. This, of course, doesn't make any sense, since there are millions of Islamic people currently living in the U.S peacefully.\n\nUnfortunately, the Iranians have soaked this propaganda up like fresh sponges, and they have concluded that America is "The Great Satan".\n\nIn a speech broadcast through all of Iran, and rebroadcast throughout the world, the Iranian President made a call for the destruction of Jews and the State of Israel. That sounds a little too much like Hitler for my liking. Notably, the Iranians also deny that the holocaust ever existed.\n\nIn this same speech the Iranian President Ahmadinejad declared, "Israel must be wiped off the map." This wasn't just an isolated event either; these hateful slogans are regularly used at government events to rally the people.\n\nOne of the reasons why the Iranians hate the U.S so much is that they view us as an impediment to their goals of destroying Israel. They know full well that the U.S would not allow them to destroy Israel, and so they are incapable of fulfilling this goal so long as the U.S is around.\n\nThat's why the discovery that Iran is cranking away on a nuclear development program is so scary. It's not hard to imagine that Iran would drop a nuke on Israel in a heartbeat, and probably send a few over to the U.S as well. They could never successfully invade Israel, but when you drop a nuclear bomb, it's all over in a few seconds.\n\nIran claims that their nuclear program is for "energy development only”, but I have news for you: The technology used for nuclear energy is not that different than the technology used for making nuclear bombs. Do we really want them to have nuclear reactors?\n\nThe good news is that the world powers are determined to stop Iran from getting this technology. Even countries that didn't support the invasion of Iraq have put their foot down on the Iran issue. I sincerely hope that we can resolve the issue diplomatically, but if not...

He tore up the Taliban, deposed a brutal dictator and has sought to protect or expand American power around the world.\n\nIt's a good thing.

This is actually to rebuke what v_aaragorn  has said. He is looking for sources on the questioners question. I have a few listed here. These all document the threat that Iran is to the US and to the free world\nhttp://www.washingtoninstitute.org/templateC05.php?CID=1705\nhttp://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2005/10/29/irans_threat/\nhttp://www.iran-press-service.com/ips/articles-2004/august/shamkhami_threats_19804.shtml\n\nHere is a link detailing some of the illegal tactics of the Iranian Gov. against it's people who are not Muslim.\nhttp://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/bahai_educators.htm\n\nAlso from reading the comments from the poster it is very obvious that this person is not Iranian or in Iran at this time. I actually have a gentlemen sitting next to me who is a political refugee in this country from Iran because he is not Muslim, he is Bahi. He and his escaped Iran so that they wouldn't be arrested/beaten for there religious beliefs.

Essentially he wants as few countries to have nuclear weapons as possible, which he has in common with many other people on the planet. The more countries there are with Nukes, the more chance there is of one nation using them against another nation and therefore the more chance there is of global nuclear war, which no-one wants.\n\nHe's being very loud about Iran (and North Korea) because they are "Unfriendly" states, i.e. They don't like America, nor in fact any of the Western Countries. But it's not as if it's just him, many European nations are lobbying very hard to stop those 2 nations getting nuclear weapons as well. Essentially the main worry is that Iran's connections to extremist Muslim paramilitary groups (or Terrorists if you prefer) will cause them to start supplying nuclear weapons to them, which they'll use against targets in the West. There's also the whole Israel problem, the president of Iran has been very clear in his opinions of Israel (he despises them and wants to destroy them), if he gets his hands on Nukes and uses them on Israel, then the whole world could go down the toilet.\n\nThe reason he's not going on about India (or Pakistan) is because they already HAVE nuclear weapons, so there's not much point trying to take them away now.

Find something or somebody in Washington DC that is/was non-political, if he was given a directive and did what he was told then that is all that matters. People in the intelligence agencies or security committees leaking information to the press is for political gain is not  "conscientous", it's treason.  The Contras were percieved as a greater threat than the Iranians, and the Soviet influence in the Middle East a greater threat than militant Islam. Now Ortega has come back into power, the Russians and China aiding, arming and encouraging Iran, Syria and North Korea. The situation has decayed into further chaos, but he's familiar with all the players.

AA my good friend, I think we may AGREE on this one. Iran's primary motivation is to construct nuclear weapons, nuclear power would be a secondary benefit and of course like any good sociopath, Iran is playing the "energy end up" while minimizing (to the outside world) the thought of developing nuclear weapons.

No but I would not be suprised if God is trying to tell the Iranian Officials to knock off what they are doing or else you can only imagine what is coming.

The Iranian leadership appears to advocate violence to other states as a matter of doctrine. There have been speeches by the leadership promising to wipe Isreal off the face of the map.\n\nIran is not averse to supplying arms to other groups to go and further their political aims. The idea that they may also supply terrorists with even low grade Uranium for use in a dirty bomb is not a pleasant thought.\n\nIran has supplied arms to Sunni muslims in Southern Iraq before. Iran supports Hezbollah terrorists and pays money to suicide bombers families. One of the first acts after the revolution was to sieze the American embassy and hold staff hostage. Iranians took hostages at their own embassy in London.

Nuclear energy is very cost efficient if it is used carefully obviously.  However everyone knows that Iran is not interested in nuclear energy for just energy alone.  They want to be a bigger fish in the pond so to speak.  I think that some of the radicals in Iran would not hesitate to drop a nuke on Israel or the United States.

For all we know the leaders of Iran are shilling for Bush and his Neocon buddies. maybe they are simply playing a part in the overall geo-political strategy of peak oil.\n\nDont believe the hype.

i believe the Iranian President is kinda radical crazy and is pretty much hellbent on controlling other countries in the middle east,Everyone knows he wont be happy till they have nucks,and I believe he will use them, unfortunately for the Iranian people most countries believe that also.He's probably Hitler reincarnate.

Consider this. NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WAS FOUND.\n\nWhy  woud a leader of his country tell his neighborhing enemies that he has NO WEAPONS AT ALL!!!!\n\nOf course your going to lie!!! to PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE!!!!\n\nAnd if Sadams crimes were so vulgar why dont the Iranians release him to the USA? They wont cause THEY DONT EVEN LIKE THE USA GOVERNMETN INVOLVED TOO MUCH\n\nIf you want the Iraqies to suffer like we americans do, give them Celion Dion and Britney spears!!!!\n\nThey'll think twice about being americanized

If you have a relation to him, you must know him yourself better than every one, be in touch with him to more information, also i think we can find every kind of humans in each country, there are always bad&good together every where, but my own experiences say at all Iranian are good and honest people.

Not only does the Iranian President but all the Sheettis believe so. Thus it can be understood why the man is so confident that he will save or rescue the world from the GREATEST DEVIL (America, Israel, all the West), the rest of the world are LITTLE DEVILS (the Sonnies and other religions) who are easy to handle later on.

Forget about the politics & people.  \n\nA radioactive dust bowl comes to mind if Ahmadinejad doesn't pull his head out of his *ss.
