Whts ur idea on Irans nuclear power?
109555
First let me state that I am somewhat weary aboout nuclear power as an enrgy source because it is a technology in its infancy and a mistake creates chernobyls. As far as Iran, it is tough to say that some can have nuclear power and others can't. It's tougher to see who decides that and how it would be enforced. Also, what is Iran? By that i mean who has the reigns over the nuclear power. Like when someone says the USA, do they mean the 300 million people who live here and are generally good people or does it mean bush, cheney and rumsfeld who seem so loaded with personal agendas that they no longer care whether you know they are lying or not so long as enough people follow along or at least give the impression that people are follwing along.

Did you watch the last war, (desert shield)?  We fired at them and they fired at Israel.  If Iran get their hands on a nuke what do you think they will do?  Let's see, I know generate power for Israel.

lol, the Shah of Iran was instilled in the 50's, before Iran got nuclear technology.  In the 70's he was forcibly removed.\n\nOUr governments secrets continue to be declassified, albeit 40 years too late, but it is good to know what lengths those in power will use to stay in power.\n\nI am aghast at the idea of sharing nuclear technology with India, who refuses to sign the Non-proliferation treaty, yet already has 150 nukes?  Plus their continual pissing match against Pakistan is a little concerning as well...but we collectively put Bush in charge....and are now paying the price.  Iran signed the NPt...which basically is an agreement to NOT BLOW UP THE WORLD.  As the country with the Most Nukes, if anyone attacks with nukes, we can and will effectively destroy the world.  Kind of cry babyish, I know:  play by our rules, or we'll blow up the whole friggin world.....luckily, even our idiot leaders see no point in ruling a radioactive wasteland....at least for now.

Iran is only trying to get nuclear POWER, not a bomb, AND\nthey don't have the technology to deliver anything to the USA even if they did have a bomb, which they don't.

Yes, they do.  But Iran claims it is for generating electricity.  If they had no oil and needed power generation, they would have all the rights to do it.  Problem is that they have millions of barrels of oil and reserves.

Yes. We would be happy to see the Iranians set off a nuclear bomb in their country. (Their country being Iran)

Iran = has oil\nUS = wants oil

look, iran doesnt have the equipment to enrich uranium enough for weapons grade, thats it. no matter what youve been told or think you know. listen to dr. prather, the guy with 43 years atomic energy/weapons expirience. HEs the guy the UN sends in when they want to know what up. http://www.weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=131\nstop with the paranoia. bush decided long ago to go in, dont worry, youll get your war.

Every country needs nuclear power.  Its a clean, environmental power source.  North Korea and Iran should have built Candu reactors that cannot be converted into nuclear weapons as easily.\nNuclear Power cannot help the North Korean People because it brought sanctions and made their life more miserable.   You cannot seperate the two issues.

The biggest 'good news' thing is that Russia said they'd build some Nuclear Reactors and pipe the power to Iran so that it couldn't build bombs but still have the energy. (which is what Iran says it's concerned with.)\n\nIran initially refused but now is saying it'll 'consider' the option.

Iran is basically a weak country militarily speaking. But it could be a major pain in the ass handled wrong. Their military is basically jury rigged. But it is better than anytime since the Shah's fall. And they are the worlds number one supporter of terrorism. So take your pick. Power is half might, and half strategy.

Iran, already a foregone conclusion, we're on a collision course. A nuclear Iran will be up there right along with the coming of Hitler and the Bolshevik Revolution.  We're in for a pretty rough ride, are u prepared?

1. The "ambition" of Iran developing its nuclear prorgam is:\n\n   a. Develop nuclear weapons. In all likelyhood North Korea is/will be helping them in this endeavor...since Iran helped N.K. develop their Taepo-Dong ICBMs. They would be developing such capnilities because:\n\n     (1) Be a significant power in the region.\n     (2) Deter Sunni led countries from thinking about \n         trying to fight them.\n     (3) Send a message to the USA..."Your days of being \n         the top dog are nearing an end.\n   \n    b. Develop nuclear power as an energy means. They could also sell excess power to neigboring countries.  \n\n2. "Iran got the itch to become a nuclear power so it too, can be a big player on the world stage. Because of its religious fanaticism, it would be a dangerous and unstable participant in this very exclusive club".\n  Thats the problem... such stereotypical and biased comments (whether racial, relogious, cultural) show the world how arrogant some can be... and with such an "in your face" attitude it is little wonder why many countries no longer support us. Think about this statement for a moment... if you were another country what would you think?\n\n3. "Russia is certainly not a trusted player in this scenario, nor is China. If we are to maintain our status as a true world leader, we cannot allow this unstable, dangerous and troublesome country to gain any more momentum than it already has." \n   Unless we can trust other nations we might as well lock ourselves up and hide. Todays world is all about GLOBALIZATION.. where countries work together. Also, bullying other nations in order to maintain "our status as a true world leader"  is not being a leader...its just being a bully and does nothing but again but show how insecure we are. A "true" world leader means bringing nations together and working for democracy of all.\n\n4. Also, if there's any country which DEFINATELY should not have nuclear capability its North Korea... a more significant threat than Iran. Yet, whats been our policy to deter this? Give them more rice and m$$$y, then after a few months they are back at it... and so it goes...on and on. The bottom line is we should definately have smoked these jokers years ago when we drove them behind the 38th parallel and into China...now we have some nut running their country. And this is okay?\n\n5. Unless we're willing to spend the next 20-30 years fighting wars with the likes of China, Iran, North Korea and others we feel should not have nuclear capabilities...and losing several tens-of-thousands of US lives... then we need to find a way to bring them into the fold peacefully.

iran deserves nuclear weapons?\n\nare you retarded?

I think no country should do this.But as long as there are several countries who are allowed to use nuclear energy,Iran has also every right to.

well obviously you know that one isotope is weapons grade and one is not.  the iranians want the isotope that can be dismantled into nuclear weapons because thats what they plan on doing with it...  the United Nations offered to give them the alternative nulcear energy isotope plant but they refuse... they want the weapons grade, wonder why?

Your question assumes that Iran has military ambitions with respect to the development of nuclear energy technology.  Either way (peaceful or military use), Iran is about 7 to 10 years away from even developing the capability to enrich enough material to develop a single nuclear weapon.\n\nIt seems much more critical to reign in the activities of nations the world over that have thousands of nuclear weapons (like the U.S., Europe, India, Pakistan, etc.), or nations wherein nuclear stockpiles are poorly secured (in Russia and former USSR states).  The latter is a far more dangerous threat with respect to potential terrorism.\n\nIn addition, all of this is predicated upon accepting "nuclear" as a reliable energy source.  The dangers of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and the like, as well as the intractable problems of nuclear waste disposal and vulnerability of nuclear plants to terrorist threats make it crucial that the entire planet move away from "nuclear activities."
