All people like violence, if you check history, every single civilization has had very violent moments, and some of them were just for kicks. We enjoy boxing, wrestling, jackass and gore movies... they enjoy the real thing more. We've "freedom of religion", but that really means Christians first and we'll kick your ass if you don't agree with the Bible (which is what our troops are trying to prove). We're in the exact same position as they are, except we've money and we're entertained enough to be able to ignore it.

Yes if they keep on going the way they are. Iran will get the Bomb, With USA painted on the side of it.

I don't think this is true  - I can't find any evidence of it in the news.\n\nThe US wants to make war on Iran so maybe this is part of the lead up - "lets make everyone see than Iran are the enemy now"

I think Iranian government(which is separate from its people) is developing Nuke Weapons (in their own words) to promote Islam in other countries. This is one of their goals. I think U.S and other countries must be aware that this regime doesn't care about it's own people, and so they don't care about anyone in the world. \nIran is one of the richest oil nations, but look how their citizens are living!!!! all the money form oil exports are in their own bank accounts in foreign countries.\nDo you know how many political prisoners are in prisons in Iran!!! They kill, torture and do lots of stuff that you can't imagine. \nI think the first thing U.S and other countries can do is to freeze their assets and money in banks.  some of them(people in Iran Regime) has Green card and travel to U.S. if Bush means what he says how they can travel to his country so easily.\nIranian people has nothing to do with all this. Why they should pay the price. All these things you see in T.V that some people are supporting them, these are their own people and they are paid to be there. \nBut in my opinion they should try to resolve the problem in a way that Iranian people pay the least price.

It should be taken seriously, but to a point.\nIran restricting its fossil fuel sales would cause considerable price hikes of the oil pricing. The world won't end, but oil will become much more expensive, both for private individuals, for many nations and for private corporations. This would probably cause higher costs for oil-derived products and wasteful, energy-consuming activities in most countries, and a bit of inflation.\n\nOn the other side, you have to realize that Iran has little motivation to carry out this promise. If they rise the oil price or restrict sales, that means that they will be losing money as well. Iran's economy is quite dependant on its oil exports, and I can't imagine them substaining a high-price oil policy for a long time, since, for them, that would mean losing exports and money.\nThe truth is that Iran needs the world community as much as the world community needs Iran. Sure, we will always need oil, while they don't have an exclusive need to export it, what gives them the upper hand. But how far are they willing to take their threats? \nI'm not sure common Iranians would like their living standards reduced due to their economic dependency on oil exports. How much hardship are the iranians really willing to endure? Much of these are smokescreens and empty threats to see how the world community reacts, me thinks.\n\nAlso, we wouldn't be having this problem if Bush's and Blair's "pre-emptive strike policy" and pro-corporate war agenda wouldn't have scared the sh*t out of Iranian people and led them to elect the nationalist nutso that Iran has as prime minister. They've really done a good job, increasing terrorism in Iraq and turning a quasi-religious state into something even more radical and fundamentalist!

They are planning on taking over Iran? Where do you get your news, because it sounds like you are talking out of your butt.

Its more than a chance, they're actually planning on it. Whether it will actually happen or not depends entirely on the US and Israel. \n\nIran has already said that Israel should be wiped off of the face of the planet, so I suspect Israel will step up. I hope so anyways.

iran if want  of course can do it  -only iran doesnt want.maybew in future iran change its idea .\nwho does know?

Iran.  Laughing at us.

Interesting question.\n\nAt the moment the truth is that Iran is stating absolutely that it doesn't want 'Nukes', instead it is claiming a right to develop a nuclear capacity for peaceful power generation. With the price of oil rising globally this seems a sensible strategy.\n\nOf course the problem is that this could be masking a drive for the development of nuclear weaponry.  \n\nIs this justified?  Well there are two schools of thought.  \nThe first is that for defence purposes it is.  Iran is a developed nation in the Middle East and one of its neighbours, Israel has a nuclear capability.  Iran could justifiably argue that it requires a nuclear deterrent to counter that of Israelis.\n\nThe second is that no, it's not.  Iran has been explicitly threatening to the West and Israel (whom it said it intended to 'wipe off the map') and whilst the rest of the world are looking to dismantle nuclear stock piles, it is incongruous for a nation to be building a nuclear capability.\n\nNot sure of the answer, but hope this helps.

No one forces them to look at the cartoons.\nThey should just get over it!\nThey claim to be peaceful but they don't live it.

CZ they want to have a reason to occupy Iran

This is merely opinion.\n\nI don't think the majority of the American people have a problem with the majority of the Iranian people.  However, there is a small minority of people in Iran that seem to be intent on the destruction of the United States.  Some of those people are now in power in Iran.\n\nYou ask why we think Iran is more dangerous?  Probably because those other countries' leaders have not openly called the United States "The Great Satan".  Probably because those countries aren't broadcasting constant anti-American propaganda.  \n\nWe have no problem with the people of Iran.  But we do have a problem with fanatic people in ANY nation who would illogically choose to use nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction because we choose not to follow Islam.  \n\nAnd, why is there so much fervor over a silly cartoon?  Yes, I agree that the cartoon profanes your prophet - peace be upon him, and I think it was in poor taste for them to do that.  But I've had people profane my God every day on here, and in the media.  I don't like it, but I'm not about to demonstrate and/or demand that they die or anything like that.\n\nIf leaders of Islam would demonstrate some tolerance and love towards America, we might see Islam in the light that your Prophet - peace be upon him - wanted the world to see.

It's delicate. My guess is that Iran will take Russia's offer for enrichment at least for now. I'm quite sure their research will go on, which means sooner or later someone's gonna call their bluff and then it won't matter whether they've been onest about the purpose of their program.\nThe sad thing is Iran still has the NPT and international law on it's side since none of the accusers managed to prove its program is -not- entirely civilian. \nWar right now would be damn inconvenient for US since to most neutral countries it will appear and incessant bullying and some might rally behind Iran, Syria and Venezuela.\nUS can't exploit Iraq oil just yet. Of course US companies will be preffered for drilling and/or refining Iraq oil but they have to wait for the situation in Iraq and give the appearance of elections.

very soon. Does Google Romeo really think that Iran is a peaceful nation? Is that person blind to the truth staring right at him. We know that Iran host terriost, we know they're trying to build nuclear weapons, and if we don't act now, then Iran will be the one who starts lobbin missiles at us instead of the other way around.

Sounds like Iran . Planning to invade it , are you ?

It would be very difficult for the U.S. and Israel to accept Iran having nuclear weapons. I give it less than a year because I believe common wisdom is that Iran could have nuclear capability that soon. \n\nWho will be involved?\nUs and Israel mainly, with Bush trying to put together a coalition like he did with limited success for Iraq.\n\nWill this lead the Western world into an endless war with Islam? \nI don't think so, but this is why it's so important to foster democracy in Islamic countries.\n\nHow far off is a war with Iran and Israel, and when will the global community step in and stop the Iranian "president" from dictating us and threatining us with oil?\nThe "global community" won't do anything to stop Iran, in my opinion. They're all afraid of terrorist retaliation. Look at news organizations' reaction to the rioting over the cartoons. They're all afraid to run the cartoons.\n\nIs oil worth the threat of an arms race in the middle east?\nI don't quite understand this question. Are you saying we are somehow responsible for encouraging an arms race because we want middle east oil? An arms race between who and whom?
