Iran is a "rogue state," which means that they support terrorists and scoff at international relations. Giving a rouge state nuclear weapons is like giving a loaded gun to a baby.

Absolutely nothing, and Iran Knows that they can't do much , they can harm us more then we can harm them.

A country like Iran that has pursued nuclear weapons and long-range rockets and has vowed to destroy a Democracy (Israel) should not be trusted, noteven with materials that could be used to further their nefarious aims.  Would they even hesitate to supply such weapons to terriorists?  Do you want to take that chance?  Just having nuclear WMD would allow them to intimidate their neighbors.  No one would dare try to stop them from equipping even more suicide bombers or organizing the powers on earth that have no regard for innocent human life, including yours.

Personally I do not think that we need to go nuclear on anyone. Iran is a Middle Eastern country that we should not have involvement in. This country (US) is great on spreading democracy but other than oil what is our interest there? Why in the world do we need to be making everyone do our bidding? We need to focus in this country on how to improve our own job situations, education, over population, excessive oil use, and  focus on our country not theirs. That is my opinion.

It is bad that any country has atomic bombs. As of now, it is not proven Iran has atomic weapons, it is only proven they have enriched uranium.

No, Iran should NOT have a nuclear weapon. They are dangerous actually VERY dangerous and people in Iran are stupid.

Iran won't have a deliverable nuke for 5 or more years so we have plenty of time to work an alternative solution.\n\nMaybe the world will get lucky and they'll nuke themselves or fry enough of their technicians in accidents before they get "The Bomb".

I think that all countries should disarm. That is not going to happen at least in my lifetime, so the next best thing would be to stop further development of nuclear weapons. Iran has been offered nuclear technology and nuclear reactors for energy generation and has so far rejected this offer. Iran appears to be more interested in weapons development than nuclear technology for peaceful purposes or it would accept technology from the rest of the world and suspend its own internal research. I hope this disagreement between countries will not end at the unfortunate possible outcome which currently has us in Iraq and Afghanistan but as observations will show it is entirely probable  rather than not.

NO NO NO NO. Iran will NEVER step back and the naive world must understand that the only weay to stop Iran would be to NUKE the whole capital area and making sure that the president there is killed. Unfortunately, too many of our corrupt and stupid politicians here in the U.S. feel that negotiations should be made.. negotiations after negotiations but BELIEVE ME.. it will never work and should not even be tried.

Iran hasn't even claimed they have an Atomic weapon yet.  They only announced today that they can enrich uranium.  they still have work to do to get the bomb.

Iran is a member of the United Nations and a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and is not suppose to be developing nuclear weapons.  Although Iran has been stating that they only want peace use of atomic energy, their position is highly suspect, if for no other reason than the fact that Russia offered to provide the atomic fuel they needed for such peaceful use and Iran turned that offer down.  \n\nBeyond that reality, no nation with nuclear weapons wants such weapons to spread to other countries.  This is particularly true of countries that have unstable and radical governments.  It isn’t a matter of a country’s right to tell them they can’t have such weapons, but a matter of realistic defense.

There is going to be a war with Iran and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. If the USA does not stop iran they will develope a nuclear war head and get it to the U.S. because they hate American's and freedom, Also they think it will please thier god(who is gay) they are going to have to be B.I.T.C.H. slapped or the west is doomed.

We've beaten the odds so far, but probability has way of catching up to up you. Let's look at current crisis.\n\nTargeting sites in a nuclear war with Iran, or any country in the region, would involve widespread nuclear contamination and large numbers of casualties. It would be impossible to limit this to Iran alone. And even in extreme circumstances, the only clear requirement for high-yield strategic nuclear weapons would be on some selected command and control facilities; their use would have to be restricted to a small number of targets because of fallout considerations.\n\nIf Iran did acquire atomic bombs, it would put pressure on other countries in the region to do the same. Many Arab countries believe it is unfair that Israel has nuclear weapons. If Arab countries, notably Saudi Arabia but also Egypt and possibly Syria, found themselves caught between a nuclear-armed Israel and a nuclear-armed Iran, it would greatly increase pressures to pursue their own nuclear options. \n\nThis could result in a regional arms race in the Middle East which is likely to be quite destabilizing, given the number and intensity of conflicts and instabilities in the region. \n\nBecause of Murphy's Law, the conflict could escalate into a major confrontation between US and Russia/China, especially when long range missiles are fired by the US at Iran (for instance), it could be interpreted by early warning systems in Russia and China as an attack against them. \n\nThe military people call it "accidental or false attribution". How does China know the missile is headed for Iran and not them? By the time the flight path is determined, it could be too late to form a retaliatory response, hence, it's better to "launch on warning". A global nuclear exchange could be initiated in a nuclear war in the Middle \n\nThere's been over 20 close calls during the Cold War and Post Cold eras, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the accidental training tape incident at NORAD in the late 1970's, to the more recent 1995 incident involving a Norwegian science satellie launch. The hair triggers nearly put the world into a nuclear inferno. Most people in the world did not know how close they've come for the nuclear sword of damacles to come tumbling down on the heads. \n\nEven today, we only stand 28 minutes from a nuclear at any given time. The aging Russian early warning systems and their reduced security after the break-up of the Soviet Union should be real concerns. \n\nIf anything, a nuclear war will be the result of accidental launches from a false alarm from the two 'strategic' superpowers.

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.

Put a commercial blockade on Iran. Without imported grain, they will die from starvation. Without oil export, they will be poor. A commercial blockade will bring them to their knees.\n\nYet they have oil! U.S. wants oil! Why? U.S. wants power! There are many country who use nuclear power, why target Iran? Because Iran is the only country who wants nuclear power AND has a large oil reserve!\n\nWhy oil? The reserves are disappearing, the prices are increasing...He who has the oil, basically controls the Global market.

The rest of the world is willing to let Iran have nuclear power; that's not the problem.  The problem is that Iran has proven itself to be a rogue nation that produces and harbors terrorists.  The blatant hatred that Iran has for anything Western is reason enough to doubt its motives when it comes to the development of nuclear energy.  As I said, the rest of the world is willing to allow Iran to have nuclear power, provided that it is willing to allow UN inspectors access to verify that Iran's motives and capabilities are peaceful.  Iran is unwilling to allow this. That's why the rest of the world is skeptical of Iran.
