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.

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.

Too bad that there wasn't a way to make them both lose. Iran vs. Mexico, it should have been named the "Down with America" game because they are both out to destroy us in two different ways. The Mexicans are destroying our economy and our country from the inside out, while Iran wants to blow us off of the map. Screw them both.

This is a country that has been openly preaching hate and advocating obliteration of its enemies for nearly thirty years. I HOPE the U.S. attacks Iran rather than allowing it to become a nuclear power. I'm afraid that if it does, it will have to carry the burden by itself, because the rest of the world has shown itself unenthusiastic for unrewarding but necessary hardships.

The US does not ban other countries from nuclear power if we know that the country will not use their power for evil use. Like nuking other countries for no reason.

People above me who are blaming this on Bush, read a newspaper.  This is not a problem that President Bush is inventing.  The United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and Europe agree that this is a problem.  Open your eyes and stop blaming everything in the world on Bush.  The Iranian problem can be solved peacefully if the leadership of Iran will stop trying to get nuclear weapons.  They say that nothing will stop them from their nuclear programs.  If they don't change their minds, the problem will not be able to be solved peacefully.

Pollution of air and water by factories in the US  :D

Get your facts straight.  The IAEA just issued a report on the amount of spent plutonium discovered upon inspection, which was far more than was required for a peaceful energy program.  If Iran wants to act like a stubborn child they deserve to be treated like one.

USA is keeping Iran under pressure and giving signal to other Middle Eastern and Arab countries not to indulge terrorism. This way, interest of USA is protected by trying to suppress terrorism and controll of the oil price. At the same time, USA will not expect to see the rise of another nuclear power state in the Middle Eastern region especially Iran who has long dispute history with the USA and Israil. In my mind, unless unavoidable circumstances, USA will not go to War as they have found recent experinces from Iraq War.

Most Americans don't have an informed opinion about Iran or Iranians. Most don't even know where to find Iran on a map. The various manipulators of opinion in this country are quite careful to keep it that way. The President and his government, the neo-cons and the religious right prefer that "American Opinion" reflect what they wish it to reflect.

In the US nuclear power plants produce 2,000 metric tons of waste a year.

Russia, then the U.S.S.R., uses graphite based fission reactors, as opposed to the U.S. design.  Human error caused the incident.  The second post to your question is a decent description as to the chain of events.

Khatami was a moderate and tried to get Iran to be more normal.  The current leader, President Ahmadinejad is an extremist that will lead his country into a lot of problems.  He has made comments that threatens to make the Middle East even more unstable than what it is right now.  Iran is moving forward with development of nuclear power.  Officially the want nuclear power to generate electricity, but they have a very large oil supply.  Hmmm... what do you think they want nuclear power for?

If iran is heading for Nuclear power,then the reason is basically to start thinking of ways to produce alternate energy.They know it very well that Oil is not gonna stay there forever and now is the time,though already late but not too late,to start initiating a different source.And,its also to notice that<u just cant use the nuclear energy instantly,u have go through all the tests that goes on for years finally b4 you are actually using the product commercially.US has its own reserve of oil which is biiiig as well,but they prefer to finish off the reserve of the rest of the world first with its monopoly themes and will start rigging full fledged then.Imposing a threat alarm on Iran is nothing but gathering the world opinion to go for a war and start selling stock pile of new weapons and buying oil from Iran with lower price when UN imposes sanction after the first stage of battle finishes.US has created the environment just like the british did when they were the masters of the universe.

Be real.  It's not just the US concerned about it, it's pretty much the rest of the world.  Iran cannot be trusted with it and that's that, their government is always unstable and you don't know who'll be controlling the nukes next year.
