It seems everytime you turn on the news, any Western news that is, there is a story about the "terrible Iranians" trying to make nukes. Yet over, and over again the country of Iran has defended itself in it's pursuit for nuclear energy. Just last month a report was released by the "wonderful U.S." confirming that Iran halted their nuclear weapons program in 2003! I seem to be having a flashback:
U.S.: "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction for a fact."
Iraq: "Ummm, no, no we don't sorry."
US: "Yes, you do you liars...KABOOOOM!!!"
Iraq:"...."
US: "Whoops, our bad."
Yet even following the report the US and the five other permanent memebers of the UN (plus the Deutschlanders) are drafting new sanctions against Iran. Last month though Iran and Russia (one of those five permenant members) announced that the co-construction on a nuclear facility would begin.
I do not feel that Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons or that any other country should for that matter and until we start scaleing down our massive nuclear arsenal it won't prove to other countries that we are serious about riding the world of WMDs.
