I told you those guys are crazy.  I thought it was mainly Ahmadinejah but I guess their parliament is crazy too.  It's almost like they are asking for it.

Iran is basically a weak country militarily speaking. But it could be a major pain in the ass handled wrong. Their military is basically jury rigged. But it is better than anytime since the Shah's fall. And they are the worlds number one supporter of terrorism. So take your pick. Power is half might, and half strategy.

Iran's president IS nuts, basically. He's spouting nonsense for internal consumption and hasn't completely understood yet that the international media picks it up and runs with it. Iran may or may not really be nuclear capable, but the ayatollahs who really run the country want their populace to think so. In any case, don't bomb them...yet.

Iran, already a foregone conclusion, we're on a collision course. A nuclear Iran will be up there right along with the coming of Hitler and the Bolshevik Revolution.  We're in for a pretty rough ride, are u prepared?

I sympathize with your country's situation. But you have to understand that you have been taken control under a theocracy that is ruled by an anti-semitic radical muslim. We can't trust Iran's word to say that they will only use it for nuclear power giving the history of disagreement with Israel. Ahmanidejad has said he will blow up Israel and he doens't believe the Holocaust ever happened. The Iran-Iraq war was horrible and innocent lives were lost. The U.S. at that time did help Saddam because we viewed Iran as a bigger threat. I apologize on my country's behalf. But we were nervous of a potential Middle East crisis and we tried to salvage it. It's because of this history that we can't trust Ahmanidejad because we can't run the risk of him blowing up Israel or take over a weak Iraq. If this occurs, it will expand the war in the Middle East and possibly create a WWIII which will hurt everybody. This is why we don't support nuclear development in Iran. If you can guarantee us that Iran won't blow up Israel then who knows? Until then, try to see this from our point of view.

News Max is excellent, also "The weekly Standard" magazine. Are you serious or are you joking? I hope so much Iran gets rid of their President and gets a leader that lets Iranians be free. I went all thru high school in the 60's with an Iranian boy named Sam and that was his prayer back then. I sure liked that boy and his family.

in iran?  i don't know.  it seems to be heading that way, but i think that iran will probably end taking the russian's proposal and have their uranium enriched in russia and shipped back to iran for fuel.  They have said that they are considering this option again, after having taken it off the table.  I think they would only bring the option back if they were probably going to do it.  I think they will not risk a war, especially without the support of russia and china.  If it was only the US, they would risk a war, but the rest of the world is against them.  I think their bluff has been called - they wanted to see who would align with and against them and nearly everybody voted to send them to the security council.  Its not the end of the issue, but I don't think there will be war.

Soon. 1/3 of Iran is under 25 and they are not happy with the Ayatollahs. They've become to them what the shaw was to their parents generation. A force for evil that needs to be gotten rid of... \n\n............\n\n............\n\nOh? You weren't referring to Iran!? *rolleyes*

who's said they don't allow un experts to inspect? UR medias?! Revise you thoughts please. They are based on completely wrong information. Iran is open to the UN. The problem is not professional. There are political problematics issues. \n\nThe problem is that West says Iranian programme is costly and it is not worth investing. They conclude that there might be some army goals beyon this. Iran warned months ago that if they deliver the case to SC, they would resume enrichment programme. Fist, the west announced that they just report and they don't totally deliver the case. They played with Iran a lot. Russia is just taking advantage and does nothing. Iran has lost very much interests and Iranians (People and goverment) aim to revenge anyways. We have paid price a lot for this case. Political and economical. We are under semi-sanction condition. Even no body plays with our soccor national team. I personally hate western governments and I swear I would try my best to revenge. Iranians are willing to support the government in this case and we would all die for our country. Iran will use our all potential forces such as Iraq and Lebanon and Palestine and Syria to oppose the west. As we Iranian say, we try to not let Iran be a simple gobbet for the west.

You're question is difficult to answer.  \n\nAlthough I follow the news to some extent, I really have no knowledge about what is truly going on.  We are only privy to certain aspects of what is going on.  We are told about fundamentalism, we are told about women's oppression, we are told about threats on Israel. Of course, I find these three aspects reprehensible.  \n\nHowever, in Iran, they probably hear about the US's attacks on Iraq, crimes like Enron, and American prostitution.  Is that all that the US is about? Not at all. Do they hear about our environmental programs? Our efforts at equal rights (we have a long way to go, but we're working on it)? Unlikely. \n\nSo, although what I hear about Iran is absolutely reprehensible, I don't feel like I have enough information to have a formulate opinion.

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.

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? ;-)
