Iran is a "rogue state," which means that they support terrorists and scoff at international relations. Giving a rouge state nuclear weapons is like giving a loaded gun to a baby.

Iran has NOT allowed the IAEA inspectors to do their jobs. If Iran's intentions were as they say, they should have no problem with the Russian offer to have the enrichment facilities in Russia.\n\nGiven the Iranian government's statements regarding Israel and "causing harm and pain" to the US because they got referred to the UN Security Council, how can we think for one minute that their efforts are peaceful. Their rhetoric sounds like it could have very easily come from Bin Laden or another Islamo-fascist zealot bent on murdering anyone whose views differ from their own.\n\nThe asker asks why Iran cannot use nuclear energy. The world has no issue with this. Iran is welcome to use nuclear energy to bring electricity to its people. You can be damn sure, however, that the world isn't going to turn a blind eye while a fundamentalist state enriches uranium against UN and IAEA requests.

Yes is we ever allow a nation like Iran to get their hands on nuke technology, first thing they would do is distribute bombs to every nutjob terrorist group to go blow up Israel, Europe, and USA.

more than likely.if they do they should nuke and nerve gas them till they glow.these people dont want nuclear power for energy.they want to make dirty weapons,and with the rumour of russian missile technology already in the country,it would just be a matter of time before they strike at israel or cities in europe or anywhere else for that matter.the west needs to learn that diplomacy does not work these people.

A nuclear power station in Iran is not bad. However the 'fuel' (enriched uranium or plutonium) can be used for composing an atomic bomb. The politicians are afraid for that. So do I.

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.

Israel is a lot less likely to be firing off nuclear weapons at their enemy-of-the-week than Iran is.  But who has the right to develope them and who doesn't - I don't know.   The US and the UN want to be the Police of the World, and that seems to cause more problems than it solves.

now .. haven't you opened a can of worms ?!?!?!?\nit is a tough one, mainly because NO ONE can say whether or not there's actually a military (bomb-making) aspect to the "nuclear ambition". \nConstruction of the nuclear power plants in Iran started many years ago, long before the mullahs came to power ... so it's not as if this is something new that the current regime has suddenly come up with. In that sense, and since there is no "proof" of any malicious ;) activity, I personally don't see why not complete power plants on which millions and millions have been spent already. But then again : is there an atomic bomb hiding behind the facade? I don't know ... you don't know ... Bush doesn't know ... the IAEA doesn't know. To be fair, I would say all "countries" are "innocent" unless PROVEN otherwise.

No, Iran should NOT have a nuclear weapon. They are dangerous actually VERY dangerous and people in Iran are stupid.

Like it or not, Iran and North Korea are not allowed to have nuclear weapons because an alliance of nations (namely the UN and NATO) have passed restrictions against thier developing of such weapons... That being said, I do (and any reasonable person should) think it is AT LEAST a little hypocritical that we attempt to disarm the world, and yet spend record amounts to arm ourselves (we, as in the the US)... I do agree with you that Bush (at the moment) is a far greater threat to world peace (like him or not, actions are louder than words), than any two nations combined... What angers me is that we are trying to stop Iran from developing nuclear power... they have the legal right to develop nuclear power under the UN, but also must submit themselves to inspection (something they have refused to do)... but, keep in mind that the US openly has a nuclear weapons program, and only a small fraction of it is "visable" to the UN (despite what the politicians say)... With ALL of the above being said, if Iran would openly submit to inspection, I would not be against their RIGHT to develop peaceful nuclear energy (note that all US nuclear POWER facilities are open for inspection)... as for nuclear weapons, it is my firm belief that if one country wishes to disarm another peacefuly, it must do so its self... that is not to say we should completely disarm our nuclear stockpile, as this would create an imbsalance between us, and other world powers (namely China and Russia)... I do know for a fact, that a nuclear (weapons) Iran is a danger to the world, in particular, the US, Europe, and its neigbors... really it is a far more complicated issue than it seems on the surface, and WAY more complicated than our political leaders (and those of other nations) want us to believe. Sanctions (economic, and material) have been proposed (against Iran), but I believe, that given our fragile economic state, imposing such sanctions, would be the economic equivelent of "kicking ourselves in the (censored by yahoo)", and would therefore most likely fail quicly, or WE would face the consequences of economic recesion (thus succeeding in punishing ourselves!?!)... most politicians are playing this economic impact down, and I fear that our government may start bombing Iran soon (much like Iraq under Clinton)... now I know you asked to minimize the "Bush bashing", but I just gotta get it out of my system... It is my thought that the war-monger, chickenhawk, ideological, neofacist, Bushite, republican morons (notice I insulted republicans, and not conservatives, as they are not always one and the same), will drag us into another unecisary conflict... now that I've got that out of my system... I just am not sure what is the BEST solution (or if there is a "best" solution), but I know what we certainly shoudn't do, and I fear we will do it anyways...\n\nto directly answer your question, we are alowed to have a say, only because of our size, and military might, if Iran had these two factors over us, (they were the super power), THEY would be telling US what to do... it's not right, but such struggles between human powers/groups/factions have been going on since the begining of humanity... and will probably go on until humanity is gone... I hate to say it (and as a member of the human race, I am ashamed to), but nothing has changed, same concepts, just different weapons, and different names... same old desires, fortune, land, and power... don't think about it too hard, or you'll wind up like me... the sad thing is majority is power, and in this world, the individule has little say, something I recognize, but never really like to believe...\n\nAnyways, sorry for the long, drawn out, boring rant, but it is a complicated issue, like I said, don't stress about it to mutch.\n\n*************************************\nNever fear "marty barber", I am 100% sure that a good portion of your people are hypo

Well Iran has been wanting to talk with the US for a while now.  When the Pres of Iran wrote his letter to Bush he said that he would love to talk to the US to discuss options.  Yet we just blew him off and talked about military options.  We make Iran to be this big bad guy but if we were to just listen to what they really say instead of listen to what just the media and our own govt tell us...we'd understand it better.

Iran is using oil to make electricity , atomic tech. is not only to make energy.we use atomic tech. for cancer,biotech,.... ... its a technology and every body should use it.\nwhen you hear about atomic energy you just think about atomic bomb !! israel is not a good nation untill they attack to other nations. iran is strong enough to control the area.they didnt attack to any body just other nation want to attack to iran becouse of oil and they see iran is improving and they can not see that.atomic tech. is an improvment for them.bbc&cnn,... are false,listen to reallity

In my opinion, I don't think that it is the United States' business to meddle in Iran's Nuclear Program.  Although there is the possibility of terrorism, all I see the U.S. getting out of Iran is oil, just like Iraq.  People really are paranoid about nations with the possibility of producing Nuclear Weapons.  Again, I think Iran should be free to explore its nuclear program, for the power-saving opportunities and such. \n\nThe bottom line . . . \nIran should explore its opportunities with Nuclear Power, and the U.S should keep its nose out of Iran's business.

that is possible, if Iran has nuclear weapons we will need the best units to be stealthy and precise to ensure that they are destroyed rather then a whole bunch of regular soldiers knocking on the front door with a machine gun and smoke grenade.

I think iranian must live like other people!many countries in europa and america have nuclear bombs and use nuclear energy and there should be no difference between nations, all of them or none of them! so if some one country can use technology for their people no one could prevent it and iranian peolpe are so peaceful and they hate war,and just other powerful countries that they fear about their profits in the weak countries make some forces about iran and other countries...

It is absolutely wrong to spend any kind of money on nuclear weapons. We want a world without them? Then why is this country going in the opposite direction of world peace and building them? We wage war on countries that are supposed to be making WMD's (then turn out to be not) yet we are making them ourselves and then when Iran wants nuclear power we jump to conclusions that they want nuclear weapons (the UN nuclear watch dog says that there is no evidence of weaponisation, just like with Iraq) . And even if they were, we're not setting a good example to follow are we!? And what about calling for reigme change in their neigbouring countries then invading their neighbours for "reigme change" and then calling for the same thing in Iran? It kind of makes a nation paranoid and want to spend money on defence...getting frightened into the position of moving in the opposite direction of world peace.\n\nI say spend the money on buying them a nuclear power plant. Who can argue with that? Its far less expensive than war and It dissolves a confrontation peacefully, Iran gets free energy and the world ends up with less nuclear weapons. I say we cant lose if we head in that direction.

Man, tell me honestly, do you really want Iran to have nuclear weapons. Forget your equality crap and think logically, do you really want Iran, who wants to kill you, to aquire nuclear weaponery??\nAlso, I think you're a bit misinformed since Pakistan has had a nuclear weapon program since the '70s, claimed they had the technology in the early '80s, and it's main supplier was China, NOT the US.
