Bush against Iran's nuclear capability?

Pakistan and India are not run by Islamic Extremist that are bent on harming others outside their countries.  These two nations fear each other, but do not threaten Israel, the United States, Russia or Western Europe.  Iran does!

As an Iranian I'm so ashamed on some treatments of my homeland government, but I hope at least one from White House read my message, suppose Brazil have the "Nuclear Knowledge" and US have not. What you will to do? This is the right of any country to increase its peaceful knowledge. Why in the middle east Israel, India, Pakistan have this technology? Which country has used the Nuclear Bomb? Iran.....? or ... World will not forget murders at Japan, Vietnam, Iraq, and so on... \nBut what I want to say, all American people, you must know, Iranians are opposed to crimes, it is ponderable in events of Iran history.\nHoping Mr. President Bush considers the various aspects of the task as more possible.

It should not be allowed nuclear capabilities, and we should all endever to prevent this occurance, because it is not within the intrests of the Western world. I recognise the arguement that Iran is as unstable or backward as the Western press portray it to be, however a neuclear Iranian would enable it to dictate policy in the region to a much larger degree, look at North Korea for example. The West needs a weaker Iran to exploit its natural resources, we should not be apologetic about this fact, we should however be careful how we go about it. As previous events have shown, badly planned interferance is far worse than isolationism.

When this controversy started months ago, I was thinking that Bush was not wanting to have talks with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because that would represent him as having equal power.\n\nI have since come to believe that is not the reason. The reason is Bush is avoiding the situation. As long as he refuses to have talks with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he isn't forced to take action. \n\nThink about it... Bush basically handed over the responsibility of resolving the controversy to the United Nations.

It's President Bush.  He's spineless.  He's also a War-monger.  Why he's not doing anything about Iran is beyond me.  I'm middle of the road.

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

if GW goes after Iran he is an idiot, well needless to say he already is an idiot, but i've been hearing lately that Bush wants to nuke Iran, or rather as he says "all options are on the table" Bush is a retard, if he launches a nuke, we're screwed because then a whole bunch of people will attack the US

Probably, unless we want a mad man to build a nuclear bomb & blow up Israel - his wordes not mine or President Bush's words. Are you willing to sacrifice Israel & do you believe The President of Iran will stop with one country if no one stops him. The world will truly be his unless some stops him, as the greatest world power that falls to The United States. As a mother of a solidier it is not with pleasure that this is said. God bless our Military!

Who doesn't talk about the Holocaust ?? Iran will never use Nuclear power for peaceful purpose because its President is a Joker, trying to appease the clearics. The nuclear power is their plan not his. He's just become the president and the Nuclear ambitions are much older. The Islamic Terrorists have Killed More Iraqies than the American. Does it answer all your questions? The so called jehadis are actually traitors in American eyes. America trained them , Funded them did everything for them and they inturn have stabbed america in the back.

It's a threat. They're enriching themselves in uranium and soon will blow up Israel and ignite a world war.  I don't know why the UN is such a pussy on Iran or why Bush hasn't taken a strong action against Iran. If the Bush administration or Israel invades Iran they will have my full support. I don't hate Iranians or muslims but radical islamics are a threat to society. I hope you don't think I'm a bigot.

No they shouldn't.\n\nIf they can't be fair to IRAN about nuclear technology, than that makes them hypocrites.

The President of Iran has been saying things like this at least once a month for awhile now.  It's obvious that he doesn't like Israel (not many people in the Middle East do) but the only thing he could do about it would be to use chemical weapons against them, since that's all they have right now.  He may be trying to provoke either the US or Israel into a war, or maybe he's just trying to get attention.  I personally think that the only reason they're doing this nuclear program is to deter the US.  Once they have a nuclear weapon, they know that we won't want to mess with them (to avoid a nuclear war).  They've seen how it worked for North Korea, and since they're second on Bush's "Axis of Evil" (Iraq, Iran, and North Korea) they may be just trying to defend themselves against an invasion of their country.

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.

Its entirely possible.\nIf the Iranian president continues to use Kruschev-like rhetoric then the west will prepare for the worst.\n\nThe Iranian president wants a confrontation.  He continues to make provocative and frightening statements.  With his boasts and threats he gives the west fewer and fewer channels of diplomacy.  Perhaps he believes he can succeed where Saddam failed.\nThe west will not be a Chamberlain.

First nothing can convince me,even if US finds WMD in Iraq ,that Saddam Hussein had them.If it was so they would have found it a long time ago.\nBush should be preoccupied by the situation in US and not spending money on wars,when those money are needed by the US citizens.\nIsrael still refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.Anything Israel does or say it's "self defense",while the Palestinians defending themselves are terrorists.And anyone who says anything bad about Israel is definitely anti semite,if if he's right.Bush keep supporting Israel 'cos they are the only ally in Middle East.It seems ,in mr Bush opinion that anything that it's Arab it's terrorist.
