		<description>I&#039;m with Georg. Also, worrying about Irans nukes is pointless- Israel will bomb any facility that is ready to go online.</description>

		<description>It might be a bit paranoid to worry about this reactor, but India did it when they got power reactors.  And more recently Pakistan developed the bomb and lots of locals thought it was great.  Then they had a scientist sell the recipe to North Korea...

All these countries have decided that they want a chip in the big game.  Nuclear weapons buy a form of status.  Never mind that you can never use them as such; they are bargaining power.</description>

		<description>Cray,
Nick may be the &quot;insane&quot; Democrat, but You are the typical 
American pharisee. 
Only the silliest believe in their own propaganda. 
Foreign policy is neither made with pure &quot;democratic&quot; 
nor  military methods, one should use brain. 
How to do that? Look at Britain before it became a &quot;Democracy&quot;.
Georg</description>

		<description>Nick is the perfect example of the insane Democrat. So Iranians haven&#039;t killed American soldiers in both Iraq and Afghanistan? So Iran has a &quot;democratic&quot; government? Yeah, protestors here in democratic America get shot down in the streets all the time. Didn&#039;t Iran threaten to wipe Israel off the map? But they deserve it because they&#039;re mean, rich Jooos. I&#039;ll bet you think the only true source of evil in the world is Glenn Beck, right? Wow.</description>

		<description>Obviously the use of nuclear weapons is a terrible idea in any case. As they&#039;re not weapons of military purpose, but weapons meant to kill people by the thousands and millions.

Paranoia, vigilance, call it what you want, but the US would be silly to think that they won&#039;t try to make a nuclear bomb on the side or something

I take no comfort that the Russians are, &quot;Iran&#039;s big brother,&quot; they have little to no interest in the safety of the U.S.</description>

		<description>Considering Iran has never threatened us without us threatening them first, or overthrowing their democratically elected government first... 

I guess we should worry, because we overthrew their democratically elected goverment (or at least were instrumental in the overthrowing of, see Iranian history c. 1950) so they have quite a bit of right to be pissed at us. Sins of the father, and all that.</description>
