Why is there even a discussion about Iran and nukes?

[IamInuit]

Its a MAD policy and its mad to pursue it for the reasons the fear mongers tend to ignore. Not only is it mutual assured destruction but even if Iran strikes first and destroys Israel the fallout would destroy itself.

Its also their right as a sovereign nation to pursue nuclear energy for its peoples needs. Funny how its always those that have the devices telling the world who else can have them. Its always those the west can beat up also. Heads were in the sand apparently when India and Pakistan squired them and now Pakistan is probably the most radicalized population on earth. Leave Iran alone. 80% of the population is 25 and under or something like that. The West should turn its eyes elsewhere starting with the two countries they left completely fucked up.

It's not only Iran vs Israel but also the Saudi's. This is Shia vs Sunni also so if/when (thanks Obama) Iran gets a nuke then the Saudi's will try like hell to get one.

The nuclear standoff was tense enough when it was just the US & the Soviets now it's: USA, England, France, China, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, India, North Korea, and now we're going to add Iran in there as well? Yeah this will work out fabulously, let a bunch of people who sponsor terrorism get their hands on a weapon like a nuclear bomb...that'll be great


You can say "Our inspectors are over there tracking everything" all you want, it's not going to prevent them from getting what they want.
