I hadn't thought about this suggestion before. I think it does leave us in a position to monitor them but stay on their good side, which is key. We don't need to make the situation worse, for sure. Do you think Iran would be open to that? If they weren't, is that sign to the UN that their intentions are malicious?

it's not going to happen. the USA can't afford another war and the public is actually against invading iran.

Did you watch the last war, (desert shield)?  We fired at them and they fired at Israel.  If Iran get their hands on a nuke what do you think they will do?  Let's see, I know generate power for Israel.

More exact question: Is it right for a sovereign country to protect its self.\n\nThe US has already stated that they are part of the "AXIS OF TERROR" and are thus target for attack.

No,they won't.If America is smart enough I don't think they'll mess with Iran.'Cos Iran it's not Iraq or Afghanistan.And US doesn't have the financial and human resources to start another war.It would be lost from the start.

Iran has successfully out-manouvred the US at every stage of this developing crisis. They've done so through skillful diplomacy, using rhetoric aimed more at their allies than at the West, thus building a huge Worldwide backing, not out of support for Iran, but out of common hatred for the bully boy tactics of Bush America. \n\nAmerica has no answer to the Iranians because it understands  only one response to its belligerence. America expects States to roll over and surrender to its might. When this doesn't happen America can't cope. Iran knows this and is having enormous fun making America look ridiculous. Its all a game and America is losing every move.\n\nIran also knows America is not a serious military threat. America would be taken apart if it tried to take on Iran because the whole Islamic World would be aligned with Iran in a flash. So what does America have to do? It can do only one thing: Start treating Iran with respect and negotiate a settlement as a partner in this little World instead of acting the bully boy.

Hopefully never. Even though Iran's push for enriched uranium is totally wrong, for the US to go and attack another arabic nation would open up a whole new bag of worms. I think Bush and his mates should get over themselves. Violence solves nothing...just causes more pain for more people.

Nuclear power is not the issue.  Nuclear bombs are the issue. The president of Iran has said he wants to wipe out Israel, which is fine with me, but I doubt if Israel is going to just sit there and let itself be wiped out.  You can bet that Israel has plans to launch a strike on Iran and you can bet the US has a plan drawn up to invade, which is fine also. But I think that if the US launches an attack it should not necessarily be the same way as in Iraq with the goal of regime change.  The US should simply blow up all Iran's nuclear facilities and leave them totally disintegrated with absolutely nothing left but a big hole in the ground; if this means using nuclear weapons then fine.  Just blow the place up and leave it at that, and let the Iranians deal with the mess.  If they try to rebuild it, blow it up again, and so on forever.  Muslims are a very dangerous threat to mankind and should not be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, because they will come up with all this Allah jihad holy bullshit as justification to use it, which is all a crock of baloney anyway.

Hello?  Israel is our ally.  They need nukes for protection. Iran wants to annihilate them and us.

This is a country that has been openly preaching hate and advocating obliteration of its enemies for nearly thirty years. I HOPE the U.S. attacks Iran rather than allowing it to become a nuclear power. I'm afraid that if it does, it will have to carry the burden by itself, because the rest of the world has shown itself unenthusiastic for unrewarding but necessary hardships.

Israel would do this before the US. The US might encourage Israel to do it, but wouldn't actually pull the trigger.\n\n--------------\nTo your added comments:\n\nIsrael because they have been directly threatened by Iran. This would make it appear "justified". The US has no reason to attack Iran.\n\nI sort of agree with you on Iraq. The US definitely wants a military presence in that region. However, I think we'd prefer a friendly government in Iraq, with the only criteria for "friendly" being selling us cheap oil. Saddam met this criteria from the 1960's through the 1980's. That why we helped him gain power, and that's why we supported him throughout that period.

I am thinking that we should stop being racist and arrogant.\nI am also thinking that we are not in charge of the universe.\nI am also thinking that if we have the right to have nuclear arms so should they.\n\nAfter all, we are not better than anyone else.\nAfter all, Iran is far less dangerous than the US ehich already has its own nuclear weapons.\n\nIn the last 50 years Iran has attacked exactly zero countries. In fact, through US enccouragement it was attacked by our former clients, the Iraqis.\nThe US has attacked Iraq, Vietnam, Guatemala, Grenada, Korea, El Salvador, Cuba, Panama, Egypt, and the list goes on.\n\nMaybe we should get rid of our own nuclear weapons before we ask others to do. We dont want to be hypocrites, right?\n\nBy the way, Iranians have never claimed or said they are developing nuclear weapons. Only the US has made this claim. And I sure beleive what W and Cheney say, right? ;-)

We have seen the help of USA and others country when Iraq \nattacked to Iran,and Iran dad resisted with them and finally they win.Now after about 20 years Iran become more stronger then before and i think if USA could attack, They did many years ago.

Iran is being threatened by the US after we attack Iraq.  In order to protect itself, it is seeking for defense in nuclear weapon.  If it does not get nuclear help, US will find other reason to attack Iran.  Maybe another Weapon of Mass Destruction, and after we conquer Iran, we will make a public speech stating that we got the wrong information from UK again.

Despite the Anti-American rhetoric from Iran, it doesn't really want to have any major confrontation with the US, especially on a head-to-head basis, as militarily it is far weaker than the US.\n\nIn addition, the US has no real desire at present to send troops into Iran either (it's bad enough fighting battles in both Afghanistan and Iraq without fighting Iran also, since the best combat divisions are already tied up).\n\nIran is well aware that "attacking the US" would provoke a swift and powerful military response in the form of bombings and ship-launched missiles against strategic military targets in Iran, in order to prevent further Iranian attacks. The US would also ensure that Iranian nuclear facilities were well "bombed".\n\nThere would be no need for troops on the ground as the US wouldn't be seeking to invade, merely to punish.\n\nIn some ways an attack on a US ship by Iran would give the US an excuse to attack Iran and halt any nuclear intentions it had for the foreseeable future. \n\nHowever, Iran is not a "helpless kitten".\n\nWhen the USS Vincennes accidentally shot down an Iranian passenger plane, believing it to be a hostile jet, Iran vowed revenge - whatever it took.\n\nLess that 6th months later Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie killing all 270 people on board + 11 townsfolk who were subsequently hit by the falling debris.\n\nAlthough Colonel Gadaffi, who the the favorite whipping boy of the US was blamed, many intelligence agencies outside the US blamed Iran for funding the terrorists and proving the detonators.\n\nThe timing device used on the bomb was found to be similar to a batch sold to Iran 3 months earlier. 3 weeks before the bombing, West German police successful arrested several Arab terrorists who were plotting "to blow up a US plane". Two of the terrorists (now serving 20 years each in a German prison) admitted that Irananian Intelligence had supplied them with money, training and detonators.\n\nSo perhaps the real question is whether the US will cause a confrontation, either deliberably or accidentally with Iran, and how Iran, rather than the US, will react. \n\nMy guess would be a 6 or 7 suicide bombers in Times Square, Wall Street, near the Whitehouse, etc. There is a hell of a lot of "wannabe martyrs" in Iran, but they lack both the training and the funding. Iran can provide both.
