why there is a big problem for Iran enrichment the uranium its a very old technology?

It’s actually not that easy and I disagree that a student can make a nuclear bomb, dirty bomb, maybe, nuclear bomb, no. There is an isotope of uranium that is required. An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Common uranium is known as U238. Uranium used for making bombs is the rare U235. Once enough U235 is gathered, it must go through an enrichment process. Various equipment and technology is needed. Yes, the United States has been able to this for more than 60 years, but the technology is heavily guarded by the civilized world. Iran has had to start from the beginning to develop the technology which is not trivial.

Iran won't have a deliverable nuke for 5 or more years so we have plenty of time to work an alternative solution.\n\nMaybe the world will get lucky and they'll nuke themselves or fry enough of their technicians in accidents before they get "The Bomb".

It's a bunch of bull.  Any country who so despises the free world as Iran does should be stopped from possessing nuclear power/technology at all costs.

Firstly, I believe that Iran being the 3rd major oil producer in the world has more than 20-30+ years of oil production. My guess in around 100 years or so. And this issue of nuclear energy is just getting ridiculous. Its every country's right to improve and Iran just like us has this right to have nuclear energy. I think we should stop being a bully to all these countries, all these wars have cost us dollars that could go in our education and health is going into killing innocent people AND we are paying MORE on gas.

The idea to contain nuclear proliferation is to have as few countries as possible have atomic weapons.  On the other hand any country can use nuclear energy for electric production.  A number of countries will assist other countries in constructing a peace nuclear energy plant.\n\nThe problem occurs when a country wants to develop their own nuclear industry, purportedly for peaceful purposes and their government is not stable and their plans for such development are clearly for weapons development.  Iran falls into this latter category.\n\nRussia has offered to develop for them (on Russian soil) the nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes and Iran has turned this down.  They want nuclear weapons and they already have the missile systems which deliver them at least as far as Europe.  They support the destruction of Israel and it is a surety that if they had such weapons they would use them.\n\nThey will be helped to have atomic energy plants for peaceful purposes, they will not be allowed to have an atomic weapons development program.  .

Well Britain , Australia , the US have shown that they\nare responsible with their nukes and will not use them to kill million of people however Iran is different. The President of Iran had said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the planet> I don't know about you but I don't trust nuclear technology to a person who goals is to wipe another country out of existence.He had apparently said that the world will end in three years and his goal is to bring chaos and destruction to the world to bring about \nthe reign of a Muslim prophet . This Prophet will make the world an Islamics world- Can you trust a guy who said all that with nukes??\n\n there a different process to transform Uranium to\nuse for Power than for weapon . the problem is that Iran\nrefused Russia offer to enrich Uranium for them to make sure it wont be used for WMD. .This is a compromise agreed on by the UN to let Iran have nuclear power for energy consummation. Why? the obvious reason is the want nuclear grade uranium for WMD.

To answer this you must have some expertise in the field of Nuclear technology. The worst thing to do is to reply and just answer. This is dangerous. You have to see things from different angles and try to analyze them. Yes, Iran has joined the nuclear gang in Uranium enrichment only i n a very low degree. It is the 10th country to get its hand on the Technology. However Iran is long away from becoming a Nuclear threat with Nuclear bombs and missiles.\n\nThe theocratic government in Iran is using this to oppress the Iranian Opposition and reformists in Iran. Do you think if USA was sure that Iran had Nuclear weapons, he would even wait a second? Come on guys.\n\nWith all the hatred that I have towards the Ayatollahs and I wish them fall by Iranian resistance, I condemn any attack on Iranian soil. To complete this, let's not forget that USA is the only country so far using the Nuclear bomb on Civilians. Now whether Iran wants to get their hands on the bomb or it wants it for Civil  purposes, it is a questions for coming days but the fact is that USA has used it in the past. \n\nIn my opinion, crazy people like Bush, Ahmadinejad and Bin Laden should take a family picture together as bloodthirsty- Vicious people of our beautiful planet. If we get rid of these extremists all, we can breathe in a free world. Long live Socialism and freedom!

The concept is "mutual destruction".  With the exception of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the odds of the US (the West) and the Soviets destroying each other were very slim.\n\nThe concern with gov'ts like No. Korea and Iran having the same technology is that they don't appear to play by the same rules as the existing nuclear states.  \n\nRemember the world shuddered when Pakistan and India joined the club.  It's still a major concern for the world that these two enemies possess such power - especially in Pakistan where the government doesn't control the entire nation.\n\nIt isn't hypocritical for the world to regulate nuclear technology.  What's stupid about the way they handle it is in allowing nations to think that's the only way to gain respect on the world stage.  There is little reward for nations to play by the rules.

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.

It should not be allowed nuclear capabilities, and we should all endever to prevent this occurance, because it is not within the intrests of the Western world. I recognise the arguement that Iran is as unstable or backward as the Western press portray it to be, however a neuclear Iranian would enable it to dictate policy in the region to a much larger degree, look at North Korea for example. The West needs a weaker Iran to exploit its natural resources, we should not be apologetic about this fact, we should however be careful how we go about it. As previous events have shown, badly planned interferance is far worse than isolationism.

hope full it want come to that, however the only way to insure that Iran's nuclear capability it completely erased is to use a small tactual nuke. it would be kinda a bunker buster and while it would re lase radiation it wouldnt be a huge amount.

Iran is only trying to get nuclear POWER, not a bomb, AND\nthey don't have the technology to deliver anything to the USA even if they did have a bomb, which they don't.

People above me who are blaming this on Bush, read a newspaper.  This is not a problem that President Bush is inventing.  The United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and Europe agree that this is a problem.  Open your eyes and stop blaming everything in the world on Bush.  The Iranian problem can be solved peacefully if the leadership of Iran will stop trying to get nuclear weapons.  They say that nothing will stop them from their nuclear programs.  If they don't change their minds, the problem will not be able to be solved peacefully.

Nuclear energy is very cost efficient if it is used carefully obviously.  However everyone knows that Iran is not interested in nuclear energy for just energy alone.  They want to be a bigger fish in the pond so to speak.  I think that some of the radicals in Iran would not hesitate to drop a nuke on Israel or the United States.

iran has a very long history, it is part of humankind history. at one time, they were the most powerful nation in the civilized world. they contributed much to science and art and have a very refined culture. \n\ni have known iranians, and i found them very intelligent and respectful\n\nthe problem now is that everyone is against them right now, which makes matters worse. they feel threatned and react angrily. how would you feel if everyone critizes you?\n\ni think iran should be integrated into the international community. they should open their doors and other countries should open their doors. iranians should see what is life outside iran, and other people should visit iran to see what it is like there.\n\nconcerning recent events, i think it is their legitimate rights to get nuclear technology. a lot of countries have also nuclear technology. it is not fair if you forbide them. it would make sense if france, usa, uk or russia stop using nuclear technology. but they continue using it and forbid everyone else to have it. what kind of attitude is that?\n\npeople worry that iran might produce nuclear bombs. but they are not the first one to get nuclear bombs. i think every country should ban nuclear bombs.

Well nor does Iran have any nuclear weapons and nor is anyone claiming that they do so.All the countries of the world are worried about Iran's Uranium enrichment program which is a prelude to developing nuclear weapons technology.And rest assured Bush is not dumb he does not think Iran has nuclear missiles he is only concerned that it may develop the same in the near future.
