Why US and EU think that Iran is more dangerous than other countries?
91713
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.

I'm not going to turn this into an anti or pro Bush diatribe (personally, I'm indifferent to him), but the Iran situation is indeed very serious, and it is not just Bush that thinks so.  France, Germany and Britain have been working on this for many years.  China and Russia are stake holders.  Even the Australia Group has issued an opinion.  What you're observing is simply more attention being paid to the matter by the media (don't forget the European Union has been working on this seriously since at least 2000, even before September 11).  Iran clearly wants nuclear weapons and has made overt threats to use them, which escalates the situation above a mere arms race.  Further, Iran has not been transparent with the program, which is a direct violation of an international treaty which the country signed on its own accord.  However, when the EU-3 first noticed that Iran had broken the treaty and bought the issue to international attention, the Iranians suddenly became indignant -- essentially casting asside an agreeement they had made with civilized society.   However, now the attention of the world's citizens is on Iran, I hope that the same level heads that have been working 'behind the scenes' continue to prevail.

Not going to happen. Europe and the US going to war with Iran is a possibility.

Definately.  The war in Iraq isn't going that well for us, and Iran is a bigger, more powerful country.

Iran hates the United States because we interfered with their moderate government back in the 1950's and put the Shah in power.\n\nThe former government wanted to nationalize the Iranian oil industry, which is a big no-no in the eyes of the US. The Shah was a brutal dictator, and the inevitable occured in 1979 ... Islamic Revolution and the rise of the Ayatollahs.

America isnt worried about him attacking another country, the government is worried about him giving nuclear weapons and/or technology to Iran, which will attack another country, or giving it to a terrorist group.  Although i do agree with you that the press turned it into "the world is about to end" coverage.

Iran is threatening world peace....by disobeying the west.\n\nIran has 2 choices:\n\n1. Obey the West and prosper.\n2. Disobey the west and suffer consequences.\n\nNo one wants to live on a planet where Iran has nuclear weapons. This will not be tolerated by any G-8 nation. If Iran refuses to comply with western demands....war is inevitable and regime change .

Iran has announced that they are going to open an oil market that opperates on the Euro.  That's bad for America because the US dollar is currently the primary currency for international oil trade.  So the United States has announced that Iran plans to have nuclear weapons.  How convenient.\n\ntaz: That's exactly what the US government wants you to think.  It's called propaganda.  Keep in mind that eveything that government agencies say they say for a reason.  They rarely just tell the straight out truth, and the current administration has a particularly notable history of lying.  You should always think about why they're saying what they're saying.

America\nBoth of them is agressive and threatening world peace.\nHowever, America has will and means to make it real. \nActually, it is already making it. It is not Iran that is in war today.

MAIN REASON JELOUSY.there is the decrease in the oil filds in the usa and europe is just folowing,so the point is that Iran is now very rich in both oil and the new unclear energy so the main thing is, it is going  be richer then the usa soon so they want to prevent this. Though they do not have any evedence thet Iran is making weapons useing un clear energy.Infect they should be happy to know that there is going to be other kinds of energy available other then oil.

I think that this question is totally irrelevant. If Iran( or any muslim nation against USA)  builds nuclear facilities (civilian or military) americans will destroy that country (only becoz they c them as a threat).\n\nI think that america's common sense has been permanantly crippled by bin laden. Post 911 America views the whole world suspiciously (except their slaves in UK and friends in Israel). America has ever since been contradicting themselves. Remember the war in iraq, it was fought bcoz bush claimed to have evidence of non existent weapons and the threat of a dictator.My question to the world is "If iraq , y not pakistan?". Mushy's a dictator and one who openly admits to having nuclear weapons.\n\nI predict that soon the patience of the international community will run out. A grand alliance (Russia, China , France , India and the Arab world) could be formed so that america and americans will exist only in history textbooks.

Iran is more honest than US

North Korea poses the greater threat to the United States because they already have WMDs and the missiles to launch them.  Iran's ability and willingness to attack the United States, on the other hand, is non-existent at present.

If there is a war between USA and Iran it will be because Iran is threatening Western Europe and Israel. If that happens, then Iran will be bombed to destroy its infrastructure the way Vietnam was bombed.  Any war with Iran will be a defensive war in response to what Iran has done just as the war in Iraq was due to Iraq's attack on Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other middle eastern countries.  The USA contrary to public opinion is not a war monger and does not get involved in war unless it is attacked itself, or its allies are attacked.  The US was asked by many oil producing countries to get involved in Iraq, but sadly was not allowed to admit that this is what happened.

This is one of the things that is such as problem. Israel and Iran and other countries primarily get their material from within their boarders so they dont have anyrestrictions, this is one of the reasons that the United States is so scared about theocracies such as Iran could do to us.
