US is the only irresponsible country that used nuclear bombs. Why US thinks IRAN should not have them ?

Iran should have the right to peaceful nuclear technology.Why is it U.S.A,India,and all the other countries can have nukes, but Iran can't?Bush is a Racist. He hates Iranians.If you really don't want Iran to have Nuclear tech, ask the world to destroy their nuclear stockpiles first,especially the US.

No one plan to Nuke the US specially Iranian, there are more Irani people in US than you can imagine, just go check your best universities like MIT or Stanford.\nThe only attack to US has done by Bin Laden and if you know he was created by CIA in order to prevent Afghanestan to have a government like Iran and Iranian supported Anti Taliban groups in Afghanestan all the time that US was supporting them, and Iran government yelled that he is a murderer, its not Iranian fault.\nUS don't like Iran to be a nuclear power, its a fact but you must search the reason elsewhere, its not hollywood movies, its politics.\nA nuclear Iran will ruin all power equations in Middle East. Even they can force US to leave the territory. That's the real reason.\nIran has threatened Israel to wipe out of the map for 30 years and nothing actually has happened and will not happen.\nThe main use of Nuke isn't military, its political, look at India and Pakistan, they declared they are both have nukes at the same time. they both have it but it was hidden, when one did a nuclear test the other one did it about a week. Can you get my point?\nAbout Iran and Israel there are many hidden facts that I'm not in the mood to repeat(if you really like to know them ask here or email me)\nAnyways don't worry, we will not nuke you, one who has to worry is me because once nice Americans  attacked an Iranian AirBus which was full of civilan travelers and I'm young and want to live long to see my grandchildren.

The Us has the largest stockpile of active nuclear material thus it is still the most dangerous nation there is, liable to use their nuclear arsenal if they deem it is rightious enough for their cause such as they had contemplated during the attack on Iraq. As for the world many countried now own nuclear arsenal such as France, Isreal, China, Russia, India, Pakistan and other countried deem to be developing nuclear capabilities such as North Korea and Iran.

Viva, Kabobb, people like you would get us killed. Iran doesn't deserve nuclear weapons. \nLet's put it this way. You have an enemy who you know hates you with a burning passion, I mean wants you dead and would probably roll around jubilantly in your blood. Now, let's say you learn that they're aquiring a bomb, they say they just want it for decoration in their front yard, modern art, but you know they only want to blow up your house, killing you and your entire family. Now, would you say, "Oh, they deserve to have that bomb, it's just for decoration. They even let people inspect their home to prove they weren't going to actually use the bomb"?\nBe honest, would you still be saying that?

I think that this question is totally irrelevant. If Iran( or any muslim nation against USA)  builds nuclear facilities (civilian or military) americans will destroy that country (only becoz they c them as a threat).\n\nI think that america's common sense has been permanantly crippled by bin laden. Post 911 America views the whole world suspiciously (except their slaves in UK and friends in Israel). America has ever since been contradicting themselves. Remember the war in iraq, it was fought bcoz bush claimed to have evidence of non existent weapons and the threat of a dictator.My question to the world is "If iraq , y not pakistan?". Mushy's a dictator and one who openly admits to having nuclear weapons.\n\nI predict that soon the patience of the international community will run out. A grand alliance (Russia, China , France , India and the Arab world) could be formed so that america and americans will exist only in history textbooks.

With all due respect , sgt_k is a total idiot  , learn how to respect others' opinion then start talking ... \n\nback to the topic , well, yes, i agree with yunussh ... for the following reasons : \n\n1- we have known what is the meaning of being told by america that somebody or a country is having a mass destruction weapons , it's a big lie like what happened in iraq , but iran would never let america do the same thing , simply iran can make what the american would never expect. \n\n2- we know that israel has a nuclear power , it threats all the muslims around it , who knows if they haven't already invent a bomb with a short range of action that , for example , can destroy egypt without affecting israel itself? , that's why , countries near israel has the right to defend themselves in the way they can , you can't stop iran unless you assure the whole world is having nothing called nuclear power. \n\n3- america is doing all that because of israel , techniquely speaking , iran can't threat amecrica in a way or another ! they are thousands of kilos far away ,but when it is about israel , yes america can do any idiot step for the sake of israel , why ? because isreal , 10 million people , is controlling every single step america is doing , shame on you american !\n\nfinally , don't ever dream that what happened to iraq will repeat itself ,,, american soldiers themselves won't accept a new war and now they know that a muslim can really be happy to die when it's about making strangers out of his country ,, leave us alone , or u never be in peace ...\n\n\ngourge bush or any other president , american will never elect a president who hates israel , that's why we never expcet a good thing from you , america .. \n\n\nnow , was it convincing?

no, there is no reasonable explanation why Iran should be allowed to enrich Uranium. I am not saying this because I am an American, I am saying this because I live on this planet, and no offense to anyone, but some of those Iranian extremists scare the crap out of me, because they would not think twice about completely obliterating our world with a nuclear or atomic weapon. Once again, no offense to Iranians who are not crazy extremists.

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

as a matter of fact, the US indeed have arsenals for nuclear bombs. The US Gov't has to maintain nuclear bombs, simply because, it wanted to stay as the world's most powerful and influential nation.

I DONT AGREE WITH BOTH.BUT IRAN DOES HAVE A RIGHT TO ENRICH FUEL IF ONLY FOR CIVILLIAN PURPOSES.AND IF US WANTS TO OBJECT IT WHY DOESNT IT DESTROY ITS NUCLEAR WEAPONS FIRST AND THEN PREACH ABOUT NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION

A couple of issues with your question.\n\nThe US is no longer testing nuclear weapons, and production is limited to what is required to replace older systems that are obsolete (read the SALT-II treaty).\n\nNext, of the countries that currently have nuclear weapons I would say the ones most likely to use them are Pakistan (which would lead to its anihilation) and Russia, out of desperation and impotence.  The chances of the US using nuclear weapons is fantastically small.\n\nThe US, and the UN for that matter (if you come up out of your hate america haze long enough you would realize that France, Germany and the UN are the ones leading the charge against Iran) don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons because it seems very likely that they will use them on their neighbors.\n\nBesides, would you give a loaded pistol to a three year old and expect no one to get hurt?  Same idea with Iran.

i guess Iran has a right to build nuclear reactors and also if needed nuclear bombs! if US & other western powers can possess it, then why should they maintain a double-standards in askinm other countries from not having it. They let India have it simply bcos it serves their foreign interets. Iran should go ahead with it! FYI, I am an Indian.

The whole MAD business.  If both sides start using nuclear weapons, the world has a good chance of ending.  So, no one actually uses them.  I'm guessing if Iran actually uses them, the US won't retaliate because no one wants to use nuclear weapons.

yes, to date America is the only country to drop nukes on civilian populations ,we also destroy cultures that have never set foot in this country and have never killed any of our people outside of their boarders (Iraq)

Iran is a fine country.  But the people that run it need to be taken out in the street and shot.  And if that doesn't help it, then nuke it and turn it into a wasteland.

Well Britain , Australia , the US have shown that they\nare responsible with their nukes and will not use them to kill million of people however Iran is different. The President of Iran had said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the planet> I don't know about you but I don't trust nuclear technology to a person who goals is to wipe another country out of existence.He had apparently said that the world will end in three years and his goal is to bring chaos and destruction to the world to bring about \nthe reign of a Muslim prophet . This Prophet will make the world an Islamics world- Can you trust a guy who said all that with nukes??\n\n there a different process to transform Uranium to\nuse for Power than for weapon . the problem is that Iran\nrefused Russia offer to enrich Uranium for them to make sure it wont be used for WMD. .This is a compromise agreed on by the UN to let Iran have nuclear power for energy consummation. Why? the obvious reason is the want nuclear grade uranium for WMD.
