Should iran has nuclear power ?

Everyone has a right to do whatever they want, but to arm themselves with nuclear weapons has to be mandated by the rest of the world. \n\nIt'd be like your neighbor deciding to start a landfill in his backyard, it has the potential to eventually effect you in a very negative way.\n\nPersonally I dont think they should, its a dangerous area in the world where everyone and their brother are fighting over land, oil, and rights. It just seems like a bad choice.

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.

The only comments by the US that are relevant to Iran is, it will not allow Iran to be a Nuclear power.  IT has stated, as has the European countries in the UN, that it believes that Iran is seeking to become a Nuclear power.  If the US is a liar on that basis, then so are the European powers.  The consensus is, that Iran is not being truthful about it's intentions relative to nuclear power.  I agree with that consensus!

AA my good friend, I think we may AGREE on this one. Iran's primary motivation is to construct nuclear weapons, nuclear power would be a secondary benefit and of course like any good sociopath, Iran is playing the "energy end up" while minimizing (to the outside world) the thought of developing nuclear weapons.

Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons yet.\n\nAmericans ALWAYS think of things in "negative-prevention" but has anyone considered "positive-prevention"? A little gob of goodies for Iran if they do not pursue nuclear weapons may go a lot further then rattling the sabre(again.). You catch more bees with honey then vinegar.

Sure.As long as other countries have the right to nuclear energy,so should Iran.If the Iranian nuclear program is a threaten then so is USA's program and of all the other countries who use nuclear energy.

Iran is using oil to make electricity , atomic tech. is not only to make energy.we use atomic tech. for cancer,biotech,.... ... its a technology and every body should use it.\nwhen you hear about atomic energy you just think about atomic bomb !! israel is not a good nation untill they attack to other nations. iran is strong enough to control the area.they didnt attack to any body just other nation want to attack to iran becouse of oil and they see iran is improving and they can not see that.atomic tech. is an improvment for them.bbc&cnn,... are false,listen to reallity

Only under close supervision  by U.N. Inspectors to make sure the use is only for peaceful generating of electricity and not for making weapons to threaten others with.  Iran has proved to not be a good neighbor in the collective body of nations that inhabit this Earth and it is only right with statements they have made for us to be concerned that their intentions are not purely honorable.  They need to comply with the other nations of the world and prove that their intentions are honorable at which time I am sure that they would be allowed to continue their quest for alternate sources to generate electricity, however not unchecked.

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.

I agree. for 10 pints.\nevery country can have this energy in good way.\ni think that iran wants that for producing electricity and other kind of energy.

Of course not.  With the current most likely scenarios this will not happen.  If Iran continues its path of nuclear development, they will be increasingly separated from the rest of the world including some of the other Mid-East nations.  At some point a “face saving” way will be found so that they change direction or at some point the people of Iran will alter their government.

First let me state that I am somewhat weary aboout nuclear power as an enrgy source because it is a technology in its infancy and a mistake creates chernobyls. As far as Iran, it is tough to say that some can have nuclear power and others can't. It's tougher to see who decides that and how it would be enforced. Also, what is Iran? By that i mean who has the reigns over the nuclear power. Like when someone says the USA, do they mean the 300 million people who live here and are generally good people or does it mean bush, cheney and rumsfeld who seem so loaded with personal agendas that they no longer care whether you know they are lying or not so long as enough people follow along or at least give the impression that people are follwing along.

The possesion of nuclear weapons in the hands of any state whether civilized or not makes the world very unsafe.The scenario of having a world power that believes in improving it own nuclear arsenal but shout at those who claim to want it for peacefull purpose is rather ridiculous.Iran possessing Nuclear is has wrong has the US,Russia,China,Pakistan,India,Britain,France etc refusing to disarm their Nukes.Disarmament should be acrossthe board,if not we are creating Nuclear apartheid world

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.

Iran should be nuked but better if they should be warned first to make amends to their nuclear arms program.

yes iran should be able to have a nuke. and we should deliver it to them by air, and maybe one for syria, palestine, and turkey oh and no korea. good people in those countries should start packing up and moving out

No. Iran's radical theocrats want a nuclear weapon. (It gnaws at them that Israel has nuclear weapons. It is Israel's nuclear weapons that have deterred attacks from her neighbors.) They have no legitimate need for nuclear energy. They have more than enough oil to cover their energy needs. They use the excuse of a "right" to nuclear technology to drum up support among Iranians for the government (which is otherwise disliked/hated by the majority of Iranians). \n\nIran is stalling for more time to strengthen their bargaining position. (They've done fairly well for themselves thus far. The talks have been ongoing for three years now.) So far they haven't overly miscalculated, but that doesn't mean the world's patience isn't wearing thin. What happens next is up to Iran. Russia and China won't be able to perpetually block meaningful efforts within the UN to address the problem.\n\nI don't think the US will attack Iran's nuclear facilities, but I wouldn't be surprised if Israel did so. Contrary to what many think, Israel will do what they feel is in their best interests whether or not the US condones it. What will the fallout be? Not much. There will be condemnations from Arab and Muslim governments, but the Iranians have two things against them. They aren't Arabs, and they aren't Sunnis.
