A Democracy modeled after the US Constitution.\n\nI think the UN has told pretty much everybody to point your nukes at Iran and stand by for a launch signal.\n\nGotta run - that red phone is ringing.

I think Iran will shamelessly gouge the West for all the money and concessions it can get.  But in the end, Iran will probably accept the offer.  They have nothing to lose.  They can always resume their research in the future.\n\nIran may say developing nuclear capability is a part of national pride and political independence, but from our perspective, it is just blackmail.  \n\nI sincerely believe that most international relations are based on faulty images of the other side.  Iran should know the West cannot accept weapons of devastating destruction in the hands of a volatile religious theocracy.  However, Iran probably doesn't see itself that way.\n\nOn the flip side, the West probably doesn't appreciate the level of national pride they pin on achieving nuclear power.  For Iran, it is a matter of national honor and a symbol that they are a world power.\n\nHowever, someone has to level with Iran:  they are not a stable enough country to handle nukes.

Read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium\n\nEven a 20% enriched uranium is sufficient to create a bomb.  That would be well within the capability of a nominal Iranian process.

Iran saying that they are enriching uranium for power generation. Security council should closely monitor the pace in which they are enriching. I dont think Iran has much power demand.\n\nyes its ok if the are using nuclear power for peaceful means & for their nations security. Because every nation has the right to protect themself.

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.

If I had to pick one country, I'd support an attack on Iran. Iran is ruled by a fundamentalist theocracy that blatantly lends financial support to terrorists operating in Lebanon and in other countries around the globe. These terrorists pose a direct threat to U.S interests, both domestically and abroad.\n\nThe fundamentalist Iranian President has brainwashed the population into believing that the whole world is out to destroy Islam, and that leading this fight are the Americans. This, of course, doesn't make any sense, since there are millions of Islamic people currently living in the U.S peacefully.\n\nUnfortunately, the Iranians have soaked this propaganda up like fresh sponges, and they have concluded that America is "The Great Satan".\n\nIn a speech broadcast through all of Iran, and rebroadcast throughout the world, the Iranian President made a call for the destruction of Jews and the State of Israel. That sounds a little too much like Hitler for my liking. Notably, the Iranians also deny that the holocaust ever existed.\n\nIn this same speech the Iranian President Ahmadinejad declared, "Israel must be wiped off the map." This wasn't just an isolated event either; these hateful slogans are regularly used at government events to rally the people.\n\nOne of the reasons why the Iranians hate the U.S so much is that they view us as an impediment to their goals of destroying Israel. They know full well that the U.S would not allow them to destroy Israel, and so they are incapable of fulfilling this goal so long as the U.S is around.\n\nThat's why the discovery that Iran is cranking away on a nuclear development program is so scary. It's not hard to imagine that Iran would drop a nuke on Israel in a heartbeat, and probably send a few over to the U.S as well. They could never successfully invade Israel, but when you drop a nuclear bomb, it's all over in a few seconds.\n\nIran claims that their nuclear program is for "energy development only”, but I have news for you: The technology used for nuclear energy is not that different than the technology used for making nuclear bombs. Do we really want them to have nuclear reactors?\n\nThe good news is that the world powers are determined to stop Iran from getting this technology. Even countries that didn't support the invasion of Iraq have put their foot down on the Iran issue. I sincerely hope that we can resolve the issue diplomatically, but if not...

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.

these are not 'bush claims'.  rather they are boasts from the iranian government itself, and reports/warnings from the IAEA.

I dont think Iran looks for nukes now as they always claim they are looking for nuclear plants for electricity but it is also true that the process of enrichment of uranium will enable Iran to make nukes specially with blue prints that CIA gave Iran for making nukes some years ago.\nit also must be noted that after decompositon of USSR there are vast amount of uranium on sale on underground military black market and Iran was able to buy some and I think it already have and also Iran has missles which can target Israel from its northern borders so if they really want to wipe Israel they can.\nFact that I want to tell is some of famous Israel leaders are born and grown in Iran and Israel is originally enemy of arab countries which Iranians have problems with them for so long.\n The most hostile act of Iranian governments is some support for anti israel groups specially palastinians which I think is comparable with US budget for overthrowing Iran government and I think both parties gain more from each other.\nits exactly similar to cold war where both parties have nukes but the only output was some James Bond movies.

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

nuclear program and ahmadinejad

If you're Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or a neo-Nazi or something, it's a myth.  Here on planet Earth, however, it's a horrifying reality.  I've seen actual footage -to say it's horrific is something of an understatement, I think.

Iran has right to have nuclear peaceful power stations and research on atomic energy.\n\nThe world has some facilities to achieve out facts, such as "United Nation" and "International Atomic Energy Agancy".\nSo 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 wants, even military stations.\n\n> Iran is one of "IAEA" members for a long time (about 30 years) and always observe all of international rules, So Iran has certain right to do research on atomic technology and make some nuclear power stations depend on "IAEA" rules for research and produce 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 an example. They promise them to give them 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 neighbours continuously.\nIsrael isn't one of members of "IAEA" and inspectors can't inspect Israel.\n--> Remember "Dimona" and that technician "Vanono", It is just one of secret places which Israel has.\n\nActually, Israel and US are big threats for all of independent countries on the whole of world.

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?
