Well, you have to master the fuel cycle either way, which is the hardest part of building a bomb.

It does seem just the slightest bit odd that a country without a single working nuclear power plant would invest so heavily in and be so secretive about uranium enrichment.

Not odd at all, to me. It's pretty clear what the "why" is to enrichment. And, it's unacceptable. Though, this week, the EU is on board to ramp up sanctions to Iran, beyond what the UN (bronx cheer for that) does. So, that's some good news. Hopefully, the pressure will actually effect some change there.

I am an American. ...a tradition

If you think that Iran's intention is only to develop nuclear energy then I'm Bruce Friggen Lee.

I agree with that.

Don't the Iranians get to dictate what rights they have as a sovereign state anyway? I can see why people don't want them to get nukes, but nuclear power? I think they should go ahead with it. Maybe they'll modernize, and spark another revolution if they get all the perks that come along with widespread electrical power.

Strange how so many here feel Iran has the right to nuclear energy..........

but you don't think the United States has the right to it here because you feel it is too dangerous.......


Kind of a double-standard, don't you think?

I think you should try to understand views of the world people, not only USA people or only you.

I'm pretty sure that the US will start letting the "world people" dictate what we do about as soon as China allows the "world people" to dictate what you do.

I understand them.

You think we're picking on Iran.

Fact is they're up to no good. They're a terrorist regime.

Iran has been killing Americans since 1980. I really don't feel they have any rights to nuke power until they change their ways. And I don't feel they have rights to nuclear power because they can't be trusted. One only has to listen to their rhetoric to know what they intend on doing with that power once they have it. I also don't believe it's right to grant them a privilage this country isn't allowed to have itself. We can't build new nuclear plants here in America, why is it OK for them to.

Your government has been filling your minds full of Anti-American propaganda for decades so of course you don't trust us and maybe even hate us.

Fact is we don't hate you. We have no reason to. As a matter of fact we would rather be on your side, but your government wouldn't allow that to happen because they are afraid that we may influence you. They are afraid that you'll reject Communism. The best stratagem Communists use to keep their people in line is keeping them misinformed and keeping them from defending themselves,. I.E....no guns. Pretty much the way Democrats try to control us.

I voted "no".

Right now, there's no reason to believe they wouldn't pursue a nuclear arsenal. An Iran that possesses nukes is an Iran that will begin the next great war...

They said they wanted to use a nuke to destroy Israel as recently as a couple of weeks ago and last year they said the US is history so I figure they still want to have nukes and still intend to use them.

There is no guessing about it.

I figure that if people would quit trying to put on this front of being fair and compassionate to a country that would be neither to us they could face up to reality. I'm not sure if it's real or just another example of Democrats playing the Devil's advocate again or trying to invent another ridiculous Wedge-issue.

There seems to be this movement from the left to give Iran what it wants and ignore common-sense at all costs.

Those evil Republicans want to keep nuclear power from those poor Iranians. They kill our kids in Iraq (but our kids deserve it because they're following orders in Bush's illegal and immoral war) but they're our friends.........no really.

Give me a break.

Where have I heard this BS before?

I have said that no matter high a cat's sourd was, nobody believes a cat can
fight with human.
And a cat full of fear should be appeased , not be gllied.
Iran everyday faces threat of war from your government, I don't think it's a good way to resolve problems.
I don't agree what Iran's presdent said sometimes, but I really feel that his words are only normal response to threat from your government.
I won't reject anything, if it can make me have enough food to eat.
In fact, almost all Chinese, at least all friends of mine like America and USA people.
We know America is a great land.
A modern, advanced land.
If there's no liar from CNN, we won't be angry.
When we found that CNN are brainwashing us, we are surprised, but we have to face the cruel fact.
But until now, we Chinese don't hate American.
There're too many things we must learn from you.
Don't be so excited, we don't hate you, and we don't want to change live of you. We only want you to know more about us.
So, I have been here to express my opinions.
At the start, you may don't like us, but after a long time, I believe that you and I can know each other well.
We need some time only.
