I do.\n\nNo Country has the Moral Authority to prevent another from producing Nuclear Weapons, unless those who already have it are willing to destroy them.\n\nDouble standards just because you are powerful is a shame !

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

I think so. Iran is wanting nuclear weapons. They should live under the same rules as everyone else.

Being that i think that Iran is being fueled by satan, i believe that they will continue to rant and rave, and pretend to be powerful when they are weak, and will build their terrorist army, and their bombs, and do all they can to destroy Israel.  I believe that unless the world does something to stop this it will continue.  I believe that in any eventuality it will not be an end to terrorism or the jihad against Israel.  Remember the muslim state of Pakistan is already a nuclear state, and they too have terrorists. Iraq is in Chaos and unstable, what leaders that will generate is yet to be seen.  Iran is a threat to the region but not as much to the US except by economic means of crude oil control.  Unless there is a change of heart in the minds and hearts of the muslim people the problem will cascade into nuclear terrorism, probably sooner than many think.  \n\n-LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Unlike other nuclear powers, Iran said they intend to use the bomb.\n\nThey want to release their 12th Iman from the well in the worst way.

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.

Hopefully never. Even though Iran's push for enriched uranium is totally wrong, for the US to go and attack another arabic nation would open up a whole new bag of worms. I think Bush and his mates should get over themselves. Violence solves nothing...just causes more pain for more people.

Iran has NOT allowed the IAEA inspectors to do their jobs. If Iran's intentions were as they say, they should have no problem with the Russian offer to have the enrichment facilities in Russia.\n\nGiven the Iranian government's statements regarding Israel and "causing harm and pain" to the US because they got referred to the UN Security Council, how can we think for one minute that their efforts are peaceful. Their rhetoric sounds like it could have very easily come from Bin Laden or another Islamo-fascist zealot bent on murdering anyone whose views differ from their own.\n\nThe asker asks why Iran cannot use nuclear energy. The world has no issue with this. Iran is welcome to use nuclear energy to bring electricity to its people. You can be damn sure, however, that the world isn't going to turn a blind eye while a fundamentalist state enriches uranium against UN and IAEA requests.

Your country's "President" needs to be wiped off the face of this earth and all it's Mullahs stripped of their power and moolah. ;-)\n\nOtherwise, I think we should nuke Iran.

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!

iran deserves nuclear weapons?\n\nare you retarded?

Iran is a fine country.  But the people that run it need to be taken out in the street and shot.  And if that doesn't help it, then nuke it and turn it into a wasteland.

because Iran has long border and significant influence in Iraq and Afghanistan; in other side Iran should be in contact with US in order to continue his nuclear ambition; therefor it's good idea for both to talk with each other.

Nice ideal, but absolutely impossible. If I was an Iranian Leader, I wouldn't even think about it until I saw several American leaders convicted & successfully impeached. He is well aware our leaders speak with forked tongues.\n\nBy the way, what about this alleged nuclear weapons development? Is it any more real than what was in Iraq? It's the same people saying it, folks. Think. They were never found in Iraq because they never existed. You can hide a bomb, or several bombs, where they are difficult to find. Not true for the facilities that make them. Iran has a facility to enrich uranium for power plants.But nothing has been found suggesting bomb grade uranium, or the facilities to make it. And they are under constant inspection. think.

The people of Iran are for the most part very similar to those in the U.S. Over the last decade, there have been countless pro-democracy rallies held and up until the most recent presidential elections, these were for the most part encouraged and allowed. The real problem comes from the most recent President and the clerical leadership. As a political science enthusiast, I feel as if I am have enough knowledge on the subject to state my opinion which is that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons for two main reasons. The first is that the middle-east is currently in a deadlock due to Pakistan, India and Israel. The concept of a nuclear Iran throws this entire balance out of whack and as a result cannot be tolerated. The second and unfortunately the more important issue is oil. Although the U.S. no longer purchases oil from Iran, many countries still do, in particular China. Due to recent fall in the U.S. status as a the sole hegemony, I cannot imagine the fluctuations and the potential leverage that Iran could place on the oil markets if they were able to obtain nuclear weapons. I know that this is a material and shallow reasoning, but unfortunately it is the truth and as a result the U.S. cannot risk the potential constraints and inflation that this would cause on the world markets. The world is more globalized than ever, and each country fits into the puzzle in their own unique way and although it may be fair that Iran gets to have nuclear power (which we are willing to allow as long as it is enriched in Russia) I cannot imagine any responsible elected official allowing this scenario to unfold (regardless of political parties). I hope this was helpful and I invite further discourse and criticisms to my opinions. Thank You.

If Iran remains stubborn on the issue and fails to cooperate with the UN inspectors like Saddam did, or continues to insist on gathering the materials to make a nuclear bomb, there is a very real danger of that happening. I truly hope not, but Iran's leader may force our hand, again, just as Saddam did. Pray for peace, my friend. There's been enough bloodshed and war, but we will do what we have to do. God bless.
