Oh yeah, Iraq is working out so well.  Iran, with a laregr populice that actually supports its government, would work out even better.\n\n(Incidentally, I think the idea of trying to convince Iran that it doesn't need nuclear weapons by threatening to drop nuclear weapons on it, as the Bush administration floated over the weekend, is brilliant psychology.)

i believe the Iranian President is kinda radical crazy and is pretty much hellbent on controlling other countries in the middle east,Everyone knows he wont be happy till they have nucks,and I believe he will use them, unfortunately for the Iranian people most countries believe that also.He's probably Hitler reincarnate.

Iran should be able to have nuclear energy. If the US is giving it to others then it should go both ways. There should be no room for hypocrisy.

I prefer an iranian girl...\n\nIran should be an Interesting place to visit, if it was more politically stable. Persian History is very rich (by the way don't confuse Iranians with Arabs)\n\nUnfortunally their leaders have very dangerous ideas...

I do not.   I believe that the current leader of Iran is extremely unstable and does not believe that he should anwer to then international audience.   He believes mostly of Iran's sovereignty and believes that it is all good for his country.  I believe that their leadership is unstable and should have a close eye on it.

Well, I think the best step you could take as an individual citizen it to teach tolerance and appreciation for Iranian (and other) cultures.  Iran/Persia has a long and glorious history, not to mention fabulous cuisine!  After this, remind everyone you know that the government of Iran does not represent the feelings of all Iranians, just as the government of the United States does not represent the feelings of all US citizens.  I know tens of wonderful Iranian people who hold absolutely no ill-will toward the United States or citizens of the United States.  In fact, most of my Iranian friends wish only the prosperity of all humankind.  People are more alike than different.

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.

I work with a nice Iranian girl. She's awesome, cute, (married!!!), funny... actually she's hilarious.\n\nOh, I know another one. He's a shopkeeper. He makes me laugh also but he gets very serious when we discuss politics. He's very well informed and reads a lot. We have very interesting conversations.\n\nI guess I like people from Iran. The ones I've met are good people.

God! To most of those answers so far, you guys have been so brainwashed by your media. To anyone that thinks Tehran should be nuked, think on this, your very attitude gives those in Iran who may or may not hate you, the very reason to attack you.  \n\nWe all have to live on this rock called earth together, your idiotic xenophobic remarks are NOT helping a very delicate situation.\n\nWould you like to be nuked? because if the USA did Nuke Tehran, there WILL be a response in kind from Russia and China!\n\nYou are calling for your own destruction, by wishing a nuclear attack on Iran. it would be a world wide cataclysmic all out nuclear war. You would not win that because nobody would win it.\n\nIran is NOT afghanistan or Iraq. They have not broken any international laws, they are LESS of a threat to the international community than the USA who is rapidly becoming a rogue state, illegally developing masses of WMD, Biological chemical and new nuclear weaponry  and your leadership has maintained a right to use this internationally banned weaponry against anybody they choose.\n\nThe fact that your country poses a much greater threat to the peace and stability of Iran, than they do to you means that they have a right for the international community to defend them, and yet YOU want THEM to be attacked? how the hell do you think they feel? they ARE threatened, unlike you. and you want to lash out???? You are fuckwits if you truly want them nuked.\n\nThey should not develop nuclear weaponry and they constantly claim that they have no itention to do so. I don't know whether to believe them, but what I do know is this, they do have a legal right top develop a peaceful nuclear energy program. They have a right to produce their own nuclear fuel. \n\nWhat I also know, is if they where to ever develop a nuclear weapon to be used against Israel or any ally of the USA, we all know, Especcially the leadership in Tehran, that Tehran would be turned into green glass.\n\nSo why would they do it? They could never destroy the US as a whole, but the US could Destroy Iran, many times over.\n\nLeave the international diplomats to try and sort this out in a peaceful manner. the alternative does not bear thinking about.

I believe that they live in houses that are probably more like ours than most people imagine. I also believe that most Iranians have a religious believe system that is very different from ours and most people do not understand it. I also believe that there leader is a nut job and is looking to pick a fight. If that happens, it will be the Iranian people that have the most to loose.
