Is amazing how easy a Muslim country be called terrorist state , if it does something while the christian state do the same their just keep quiet. Incase of Iran its being accussed for making Nuclear, No country is forcing North Korea from their act of making Nuclear. is UN the global Organisation or US?

because these "all" neither want to call IRA as christian terrorist nor israelis as jewish terrorist.

Some say we have no respect for life.  And we have nukes.  Everyone gets all worried when a new country gets nukes.  Sadly, the power a country obtains by having a nuke (USA!) makes it a desirable goal for countries.  We were just as afraid of pakistan and india having nukes, but now that they have nukes we 'work' with them.  We won't negotiate or lift sanctions with/on North Korea, but if they get nukes, we'd meet them as equals instead.  So you see, the United States created this 'everyone wants nukes' problem.  I'm sure the rest of the world isn't so sure we're completely trustworthy and capable of having them, just as we're afraid of other countries having them.  You'd think the solution would be to eliminate nukes.  Sadly, that's impossible because then some other country would get them and they'd be the super power like the USA.  And then we'd be on the short end of the stick internationally.  Basically, we'd be screwed.  It's a no-win situation.

If we invade Iran it will be a grave mistake for one they can fight back ,its not as easy as invading Iraq (and we've turned that into an impossible situation). Also my personal opinion is that whilst were pointing the finger at Iran and getting all above ourselves there are bigger nuclear issues  that are being avoided like North Korea and China that have nuclear capability and would without a shadow of a doubt, whilst every ones focus is off them attempt to take over the world. (and could quite possibly succeed)

Yes, Seneca said that.  Interesting that you would quote him. Do you know what his point was in saying "Be careful that your enemies dont get your weapons"?  Sounds a lot like that quote is very much in support of limiting nuclear proliferation Would it be best if nobody had nukes?  In the 50 years before nuclear weapons were invented, over 100 million people were killed in wars.  And in the 60+ years since, is that true?  If the US destroyed all of it's nuclear weapons, do you seriously believe this would end the problem?  That countries like North Korea and Iran would generously quite trying to build them?  The US, along with the EU, is trying to stop other countries from building nuclear weapons.  Are you trying to say that because the US, France, and the UK, among others, have nuclear weapons, that they should not try to stop proliferation?  Are you saying that the US and those other countries should get rid of their nuclear weapons, and thus would miraculously cause everyone else to stop building them?  Think about it-the US is hated by many powerful countries.  If the US got rid of their nuclear weapons, would that tend to make those countries more eager, or less, to build a weapon that, once the US had none, could aid these other countries in actually defeating the US on a battlefield?  Think through your argument- The US having nuclear weapons may be a problem, but it is unrelated to nuclear proliferation.  And, the US is not leading the battle to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the EU is.

Hizbullah is Iran's secretly (not really so secret) funded army. And I am not surprised at this attempt. If we continue to demonstrate that we have the stones to stick this fight through to the finish, they will lose ground. They (Iran and Syria) are known for their double-speak, loudly and globally proclaiming how America is bullying the middle east, yet at home and speaking to their citizens declaring a terrorist war on ALL of the western civilisations. No surprises here.

This makes no sense.  The axis of evil still needs to be dealt with.  Any ideas?  \n\nIran and NKorea cannot be allowed to have nukes.

Yep. If one nation posseses nuclear weapons, what gives it the right to forbid nuclear weapons to other nations? Dont get me wrong, I dont approve of any nuclear weapons at all, but if the Iranians want them, then its their right.\n\n\npeace

Israel is our problem too, if your a Christian especially. Moses led them out of Egypt to the Holy Land. That is our home to live when Jesus comes back. Why would we allow some country to want them blown up? I wish Iran's good people could over throw the evil leadership, then we wouldn't mind if they had nukes. Just get the supporters of terrorism out!! Please

I think this is how Bush sees it. This is an analogy. Iran, Osama and N Korea are all school yard bullies. Osama comes and punches you square and hard in the face and runs away and hides, N Korea is just yelling verbal threats but other than that is doing nothing, and Iran is slowly walking to wards you cracking his knuckles, now who would you see as the immediate threat? George sees it as Iran, I dont know about you but thats just from one "Repub"

A branch of Islamic is Muslim, and it's the Muslims that are doing all the stuff in the Middle East. The suiside bombings and stuff like that. I'm not sure if this guy is a Muslim, but the president of Iran wants Isreal blown off of the map. Let's just say that we better not give this guy any uranium!

North Korea is ok because they don't have oil. \nBut Iran, NEVER!!!! How will the US be able to invade Iran if the have a few Big Ones?

In my view,Iran is as entitled to develop a nuclear program just as much as anybody else,regardless of whether it's for energy or military use.Iran has a hostile neighbour that is bristling with nuclear weapons,so who can blame them if they're trying to develop an effective defence system.Israel is a country which is founded and run according to religious fundamentalism and in my view they are the most likely to be the protagonists for the next nuclear war but nobody is prepared to try to disarm them or halt any nuclear research and development.I am from the czech Republic by the way.

Because Iran is a country full of nuts and loose cannon's. Any psycho nuts that can twist the beautiful writings of Allah  to mean lets murder everyone, who is not like us ,or does not share our beliefs, do not deserve the trust of responsibility of Nuclear power. In other words, they can not be trusted, to do the right thing.  For those in U.S. that do not get it, it would be as if all the Baptist wanted all the Catholics dead, who wanted the the, Lutherans dead, who wanted they Methodist dead,  etc etc etc....for no other reason than being different..so much killing that the people   do not remember the reasons, it is tit for tat,   it is as stupid a concept as your question.

If you must ask short sighted questions, then you can't see beyond the end of your nose.  Iran is a radical country that cannot be trusted.  This is true in any country where Islam rules.  To allow an Islamic state to have nuclear arms to threaten it's neighbors, would surely  draw unpredictable reactions.\n\nAs it is Pakistan has nuclear weapons, fortunately their government has treated this fact responsibly.  Iran, on the other hand, with the president they have today, would not be a candidate for the Nobel Peace prize.  So, your goose and gander example just won't fly.  The fact is, nobody wants Iran to have nuclear power and that includes country's that do and do not themselves, have nuclear bombs.  While you are pointing the finger, point it not just at the US, point it at all civilized nations.\n\nThose same nations do not believe or trust Iran regarding it's intentions for nuclear power.  If they did trust Iran,there would be no issue here.  The fact is, most of the world believes that Iran wants  nuclear weapons capabilities.  So, unless you know more than most nations of the world, perhaps you should think twice before you declare what Iran's intentions are regarding this matter.

only after the US invaded these not-so-much-of-a-threat-to-the-US countries that they started strapping and blowing themselves up in record numbers. you worry about the lowly guy with bombs strapped on his chest... are you even aware that North Korea's REAL weapons of mass destruction are pointed to the West? so what threat are you talking about? as far as i'm concerned, we are (the US) a manace to others and ourselves.

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

It would be very difficult for the U.S. and Israel to accept Iran having nuclear weapons. I give it less than a year because I believe common wisdom is that Iran could have nuclear capability that soon. \n\nWho will be involved?\nUs and Israel mainly, with Bush trying to put together a coalition like he did with limited success for Iraq.\n\nWill this lead the Western world into an endless war with Islam? \nI don't think so, but this is why it's so important to foster democracy in Islamic countries.\n\nHow far off is a war with Iran and Israel, and when will the global community step in and stop the Iranian "president" from dictating us and threatining us with oil?\nThe "global community" won't do anything to stop Iran, in my opinion. They're all afraid of terrorist retaliation. Look at news organizations' reaction to the rioting over the cartoons. They're all afraid to run the cartoons.\n\nIs oil worth the threat of an arms race in the middle east?\nI don't quite understand this question. Are you saying we are somehow responsible for encouraging an arms race because we want middle east oil? An arms race between who and whom?
