Do you agree with this sentence <<nuclear program is Iran's certain right>>???

No.  In the same way that a citizen of a country should obey the laws of that country, a country of our world should obey the laws of our world.\n\nThe laws and conventions have been set out by the most powerful countries over the last century or so (since the League of Nations) and, luckily for us these countries have tended to be liberal democracies.  Liberal democracies usually protect each other and never go to war with each other anymore.  Canada, France, USA, Australia, Germany, UK etc will never fight against each other as long as they retain a freely elected government and liberal, open-minded society.\n\nThere are many corrupt and evil governments and rulers in the world, but the ones who have the most impact outside their own countries are almost always in Muslim countries.  Islam is a peaceful religion but demands of its traditionalist followers that they treat the word of God as law.  Traditionalist Sharia law is inflexible and makes little account for the change in technology, culture and society which has happened in the last 1300 or so years.  When a theocracy comes to power in the Middle East which declares Sharia law, the only flexibility they have is by massaging interpretation of the law to accommodate modern circumstances.  But no amount of interpretation can hide the underlying problems associated with human rights.  Islamic theocracies, hamstrung by their self-imposed constraints on governing, are often doomed to either collapse or resort to sacrificing the liberties of its citizens to preserve their rule and becoming increasingly more "fundamental".\n\nIran is an example of one of these "bad-guy" countries.  There is almost no attempt to conceal that Iran funds terrorists, most notably Hezbollah in Lebanon (against Israel).  They have publicly called for Israel to be wiped off the map.  The bad news is that the bad guys have audacity, resolve and versatility.  They do not pay heed to international rules such as the Geneva convention, and can send a suicide bomber into Tel Aviv or onto a train to Madrid without losing a minute of sleep.  The good guys are slowed by conscience.  We must do what is right or at least the lesser of two evils.  A leader consults his cabinet, congress, etc and must answer to his people and the international community.  However, while we are less versatile, we have the great advantage of technology.  It is for this reason that we cannot allow states which refuse to behave responsibly to start to match our level of military technology and be able to construct nuclear weapons.\n\nIran is unlikely to use its nuclear weapons when it develops them but then it is not out of the question.  The threat of Israel's nuclear deterrent may not work on leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  Some fundamental Muslims have the ridiculous notion that a harem of virgins awaits them in heaven if they blow themselves up and scores of innocent "Zionist" civilians with them.  This idea could well be extended to a nation scale.  Most Iranians are good, peaceful Shi'a Muslims who do not want to die, but unfortunately they don't have the keys to the missile silo ...\n\nThe world may seem like it is in trouble, but as communication improves via media such as the internet, increasingly oppressed citizens will see images and hear stories of their so-called enemies in the Western world and learn that we are not all devils (although certain administrations are far from perfect).  This will in turn make them less likely to vote for parties such as Hamas or take to the hills to join Al-Qaeda and may even cause them to rise up against the powers that be in Iran.  In the meantime we must not confuse ordinary Muslims with fundamental Muslims.\n\nThe great irony is that to a Muslim, the idea of a suicide bomber is so much more abhorrent than the idea of a McDonalds on the high street in Riyadh, yet some fanatics justify purging the latter by embracing the former (broadly spe

First, if anybody believes we're going to invade either North Korea or Iran, then they are complete fools.\n\nSecond, if anybody believes that NKorea or Iran are going nuclear because of the foolish idea we'd invade them, they're even bigger fools than the complete fools.\n\nNKorea and Iran started their nuclear programs long before there was any threat from the US.\n\nWhy is the rest of the world so ignorant of simple historic fact?\n----------\nUh, what evidence? You somehow have detailed knowledge of the NKorean nuclear program? Perhaps it slowed until Clinton gave them 2 nuclear reactors.

this is right .. the thing is definately right \n\nsam ;)

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.

Do they have the right? \nThe nuclear weapons is a danger to the wealth of this world.(It is said that they can destroy the world inumerous times) But, more and more, we see an increasing trend of evil politicians in USA allowing it to be constructed at an ever increasing rate. Do they have the right to threat the world just because it lies mainly within their border? They are proving to be incapable, but the rest of the world seems powerless to stop the destruction their greed is causing! Can we trust the political will of the USA people to clean up their government and start to protect what many feel belongs to us all (the world)?

Iran has right to have the nulcear power if us, and other countries have. There is possibility of use of nuclear power against any country from the other countreis too.

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

I have done some extensive study of Iran and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran is a party to the NPT. The enrichment plant that Iran has built in no way violates their resonsibilities as a signer to the NPT. The centrifuges that everyone talks about are normal equipment for anyone who wants to enrich uranium. The same equipment is used to enrich uranium to 5% (for nuclear power) or 95% (for weapons). (The only other way used today is gaseous diffusion.)\n\nIn my opinion, Iran has every right (as granted to them by the NPT) to mine, mill, convert, enrich, burn, and (hopefully) reprocess uranium. Iran's facilities have been inspected repeatedly and absolutely no evidence of a nuclear weapins program has ever been found there. \n\nThe United States was the country that gave Iran the technology and supplies (in the 1970s) for a nuclear power capability. I think that Iran should be allowed to continue with their nuclear program. If they do eventually develope nuclear weapons, it will be another sad day. But they will not be the only country with nukes in the middle east. As of now, it is known that Israel, and India have them also.\n\nIran has every right to nuclear power (no matter now much oil they have) and every aspect of its production. We must not deny them this right.

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.

Yes, the countdown has certainly begun.  This is a time of crises for the world.  I would hope that the used of nuclear weapons against Iran would be the last resort.  Because the first time nuclear weapons are to be used by any nation in an offensive measure, they must prepare to be counter attacked accordingly.  This could easily cause a chain reaction between countries and their allies sparking the Armageddon that we have feared sine the nuclear age has come alive.

Iran should be able to have nuclear energy. If the US is giving it to others then it should go both ways. There should be no room for hypocrisy.
693957
Not only that. The same sequence of warnings could happen for Iran also. These things happen as long as there is ground to believe US (and other nations of the nuclear club) are not fair in their demands when they themselves indulge in nuclear weapons. Something like saying "I am a thief and will steal whatever I can. But anything you steal is a crime and so don't do it"

yes. he is doing a great job. all the people who think he is doing a bad job are idiots. all the stupid people seem to not understand. if they want iran to have nukes then they are anti america.

If the Iranian students, took holds of nuclear technology, I would be moderately sure they would use it for the benefit of the Persian nation. In the hands of the current Iranian regime, this technology will be used most of all for the sake of destruction. Yes, the Iranian people have every right to enjoy the benefits of the modern science. They would be denied those rights by their fanatical leaders who would use them as a safe guard against the US intervention, and as a threat to Israel, among other countries. That is why, they should not be allowed to have it, it is as stupid, as was making a peace agreement with  Hitler. And it is, once again, the leaders who make the common citizens suffer from their fanatism.\nSo that is my view: the Iranian people should have the nuclear technology, after they change the regime and put sane people to take care of their needs, and not of the needs of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizbollah that care not about the Persian nation in the first place.

I'm not going to turn this into an anti or pro Bush diatribe (personally, I'm indifferent to him), but the Iran situation is indeed very serious, and it is not just Bush that thinks so.  France, Germany and Britain have been working on this for many years.  China and Russia are stake holders.  Even the Australia Group has issued an opinion.  What you're observing is simply more attention being paid to the matter by the media (don't forget the European Union has been working on this seriously since at least 2000, even before September 11).  Iran clearly wants nuclear weapons and has made overt threats to use them, which escalates the situation above a mere arms race.  Further, Iran has not been transparent with the program, which is a direct violation of an international treaty which the country signed on its own accord.  However, when the EU-3 first noticed that Iran had broken the treaty and bought the issue to international attention, the Iranians suddenly became indignant -- essentially casting asside an agreeement they had made with civilized society.   However, now the attention of the world's citizens is on Iran, I hope that the same level heads that have been working 'behind the scenes' continue to prevail.

Iran has right to has been nuclear peaceful power stations and researching on atomic energy.\n\nThe world has some facilities to achieve out facts, such as "United Nations" and "International Atomic Energy Agency".\nAlso Iran lets them to do a lot of researches about its ability and goals.\n"IAEA" inspectors have done a lot of inspects in all of places where they wanted, even military stations.\n\n> Iran is one of "IAEA" members for a long time and always observe all of international rules, So Iran has right to doing research on atomic technology and make some nuclear power stations depend on "IAEA" rules for researching and producing electricity.\n\n>> Iran can't trust to other countries for giving it nuclear fuels. In the past they didn't faithful in their promise and agreements. North Korea is good sample. They promise them to giving light-water power station and fuel but they (US and Western countries) didn't do it. Thus Iran can't trust to unfaithful countries.\n\n>>> In the other hand, Israel has more than 250 nukes and this country is a dangerous threating for its neighbors continuously.\nIsrael wasn't / isn't one of members of "IAEA" and inspectors couldn't / can't inspect Israel's power stations.\n\n--> Remember "Dimona power station" and that technician "Vanono", this is just one of secret places that Israel has.\n\nActually, Israel and US are big threats for all of independent countries also for the worldwide peace.

I agree with Iran as all of us have the right to ensure our security and it is not like that all other than US are doing terrorism if they are doing some research its just US who cant c any one coming up.
