Do you think the Doomsday Clock will move closer to midnite if Iran joins the Nuclear club?

For sure....\nI think you have too much time on your hands...

I doubt it.It wouldn't matter if the Iranian leader was the next Hitler.People in the US would still protest it,until it was too late and Iran developed a bomb that somehow wiped the US out.

I hope they don't for their own sake. i smell a rat: ruskies may have gifted iran with some serious weaponry in exchange for mega contracts.\n\nIf it does happen i hope all Nato countries and other allies like Australia, Japan, S Korea contribute more than just token forces to wipe out this irritant.

most probably america will easily solve this by droping a nuke on the iranians...maybe they'll drop it on moscow too if its convientent since they like bombing up other countries like japan,vietnam,afghanistan,iraq....etc..

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

The only comments by the US that are relevant to Iran is, it will not allow Iran to be a Nuclear power.  IT has stated, as has the European countries in the UN, that it believes that Iran is seeking to become a Nuclear power.  If the US is a liar on that basis, then so are the European powers.  The consensus is, that Iran is not being truthful about it's intentions relative to nuclear power.  I agree with that consensus!

twin,\n\nI certainly hope not.\n\nNothing that cannot be solved by a couple of well-placed smart munitions, however.\n\nThe U.S. and the world is right to be concerned about the likes of their ayatollah with nuclear capabilities.  The Iranians are unstable, led by an unstable person.  Who would feel safe with a maniac with a nuke button?

It may be the only option to tackle climate change. Iran shouldn't be denied this technology because of the fears of the west. In any case their enrichment isn't anywhere near that required to make nuclear bombs (70-90%). Lets all work together for a peaceful future.

I hadn't thought about this suggestion before. I think it does leave us in a position to monitor them but stay on their good side, which is key. We don't need to make the situation worse, for sure. Do you think Iran would be open to that? If they weren't, is that sign to the UN that their intentions are malicious?

It would be nice if styles and mores reverted back to the 1950's, but I don't think they will.\n\nIran will probably nuke Jerusalem which will precipitate the total devastation of the muslim middle east and result in the subsequent reassignment of national borders in that region.  \n\nRussia will probably believe that they need to neutralize us before they destroy Israel to end further use of nuclear bombs.\n\nMost people think the "Cold War" ended hostilities between the uSA and the Soviet Union, but I'm sure THEY don't think so.  It's my bet nukes will fly and our coasts will be fried, but our inland areas saved by Patriot missiles.  We'll probably retaliate in kind, cause vast devastation over there, but they have so many bomb shelters, life will go on.\n\nThe results of all the nuclear fallout will replace "global warming" as the rallying cry for environmentalists and they will get the one world government they've always wanted, but they'll find out in short order that it's not the warm & fuzzy grandmother style nanny-state they'd hoped for.  \n\nChina will see all this as an opportunity to leverage their own power-play and they will burst upon the scene with an army of unprecedented size to take whatever land area they can.  \n\nIt gets bumpy from there.

I sure hope not because a nuclear war isn't exactly my idea of a great time.  Iran has nukes of its own and will not hesitate to use them back.  If we get into a nuclear war, I suggest all you people who live in major cities move out to the country and become farmers or something because you know the major cities will be the first to be hit!  I'm in rural Oklahoma so I'm probably ok, unless Iran suddenly decides that it hates cows and farms.

I would think that Zionists would be more interested in Iran dont you? I think the official gov't slogan in Iran is "Death to Israel" or maybe it was "annihlate the Jews". Was one of those or something similarly insane and backwardassed.\n\nIraq doesn't pose as much threat now.

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

TJ Says:\nEarthschoes I seriously believe we will go nuclear. If Iran even thinks about launching, well they know Isreal will blow them off the map. If Iran tries to sneak a nuke in the US and succeeds, well Iran will get wipe off the face of the Earth, even if Russia and China try to stop us.\n\nAnd it looks to me like we are near WW3.\nBRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!

Nah possibility of a nuclear war with nations is slim but if a terrorist group were to get their hands on a nuke weapon then all bets are off. That's why Iran nuke program must be verifiable before they are allowed to have one - they sponsor terrorism (hezbollah, hamas, etc)

I think we shouldn't give up diplomatic efforts until a) it is clear  that diplomatic efforts won't work or b) we are convinced that Iran is just using the delay to press full speed ahead towards a weapons program.\n\nHowever, from what I hear from the EU as well as the US, b) isn't far away, unfortunately.
