corey2444,

Re: "The hard part of nuclear weapons is not the making of the weapons, it''s that making of nuclear energy. Once you have a nuclear reactor, it''s not a difficult process to start manufacturing weapons."

I don''t know where you ever got that idea. It is not a Lego set. Not to mention that they would need a delivery system, which quite often is literally, rocket science.

Re: "This ahmayabadabadoo has stood up on stage countless times and told the world what his intentions are with Israel. What proof do you need?"

I think that you misspelled his name, but as far as ''how much more proof'' goes...how about....ANY?

Anything at all?

Re: "FeelFree4U: Do you really want this country to have the capabilities to produce a nuclear weapon."

I am honestly not very worried about it.

Overall, I would like to see nuclear large scale nuclear fission activity abandoned, until we at least come up with some workable plan for safely storing the waste for the thousands of years that is required.

I would also like to see nuclear weapons banned altogether.

But the law is the law, and the NPT allows them to enrich uranium for power production. There is no evidence that they are attempting or even seeking to do otherwise, so there is no issue here.

Besides, I think that Iran would not be a significant nuclear threat even if they really wanted a weapon, and got a nuke tomorrow.

They have no practical use for one, and they are riding high on bulging oil prices. Why would they want to screw that up?

Re: "Their president on several occassions has said how he wishes to eradicate the world of Isreal..."

I have looked into this, and I can''t find a single case where he actually said this. His comments had more a tone of mocking Israel for its own self-destruction. Judging from the effect that Israel is having on its host, he may well be right.

Re: "...do you want him to have that opportunity. Do you think that it is a good idea or should we just wait until it is too late."

First off, I don''t have a lot of sympathy for Israel. I think that their hard-line leaders have enacted some truly cruel and horrific policies, and that Israelis have far to much access and influence over our own policies.

Even if I were a fan of Israel though, there is no chance of Iran ever using a nuke on Israel as a first strike.

Why? A quick look at a map of the area reveals that a nuclear strike on Israel would do some serious damage to the Palestinians and other Iranian allies. Why would the Iranians squander such a strong oily hand, with such a loser proposition? I just won''t happen.

Even the "Supreme Leader" of Iran- the guy who really runs the show- has said that nuclear weapons are against Islam. That is a pretty difficult position for him to change his mind on down the road, in my opinion.

We have far more important things to worry about, and an attack on Iran will seal our doom, in my opinion.

America will not attack Iran. Isreal will do it. They bombed Syria''s nuclear plant. They will solve their own problems.

[sgtrds-e4]

It''''s not just the US and Isreal that will not permit Iran to obtain nuclear weapon. Most of Europe is against it.

But there is zero evidence that they are trying to get a nuclear weapon. None. Bush wants to invade Iran and it has no more to do with WMD''s then it did with Iraq, which is nothing. The goal of the Bush administration is not stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, it''s building a middle-eastern US empire.

[sgtrds-e4]

Well he''s right, we are not in the position to attack Iran. Unfortunately that won''t stop the lunatics in the White House from doing it anyway! They want a region-wide war in the middle=east because war is very profitable to war contractors and oil companies. Wake up people! This has nothing to do with terrorism or freedom, it''s about MONEY! Our troops and innocent civilians are just expendable sacrifices to generate more and more and more blood money for the already rich. We''re being scre*wed! All of us! And it''s our own government that is doing it.

FeelFree4U: Do you really want this country to have the capabilities to produce a nuclear weapon. Their president on several occassions has said how he wishes to eradicate the world of Isreal, do you want him to have that opportunity. Do you think that it is a good idea or should we just wait until it is too late.

Re: "It seems there is a chance Iran may be ready to negotiate an end to their nuclear program, in exchange for international assistance and development aid, reports CBS News Chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Lara Logan."

If Ms. Logan were to do a bit of research on this topic, she might find out that the Iranians have the right, under the NPT, to enrich uranium for power production purposes.

Also, so far, their is no evidence at all that the Iranians are attempting to build a nuclear weapon, or that they are seeking to acquire a nuclear weapon, so this is really a non-issue.

Re: "I have made it very clear to all parties that the first option ought to be solve this problem diplomatically," Bush said."

I''m pretty sure that it has been the Iranians that have expressed a desire, all along, to resolve problems diplomatically, and that the Cowardly Cowboy just a kep'' on a hollerin'', "dead or alive! We don''t negotiate with trrrrrist!"

Am I thinking of someone else?

[standlee5]

GWB/Condi are at it again.

[clestes-2009]

shrub would completely trash his legacy if he attacked Iran to get by force what they offered peacefully in 2003.

He would go down in the history books as a war crazed, bloodthirsty president who condons torture and broke US and international laws.

IRan offered to suspend their nuclear development program, reconize Israel and fight terrorist groups n 2003.

This is good news and could be just what the economy needs.

CBS: Iran''s top diplomat promised an answer on negotiations "very soon" Wednesday at the United Nations and struck an unusually gentle tone as he dismissed any suggestions of conflict with Israel of the U.S.

-Since when did we integrate Israel in the US? LOL!


-Those are some refreshing news. Once in a while, it''s to feel some hope in the air, for some peaceful times to come ahead! Strange enough, these news are coming from an Iranian!

[cyberus-2009]

Since we all know that W is full of bull does iran talking smack bring the term "waving a red flag" to mind?

[shanev137]

I think the mixed-messages are coming from the US.
