What is your take on the Iranian nuke issue?

[Midav]

Remember this is a poll of people’s opinions. I also would like it if people commented on what they voted for and why they did. If you disagree with an opinion, state why in a coherent and civilized manner. Please!!

This is about what people think on the subject and why they do.

Thank ya!

I'll comment myself sometime later. Just would like to see first what some people have to say.

[LaoSexMachine]

No way. These guys can't be trusted. If you say yes, you live in the freedom that Iran stand against.

[signatory]

I can't vote before I know what the vote is all about.

"allowed" ? to enrich, to build nukes, to shave goats ? what...

Should Iran have Nuke technology?

Yes, it's a broad statement. Some believe that even if Iran does not do the enriching, it still would possess the means to enrich uranium and pass that information on, or do it in secret to procure a nuclear weapon.

Others believe Iran's nuclear ambition is for peaceful purposes only.

What is your take....?

simple It should be allowed to have tecnology for peasefull nuclear powergeneration as whould any country.

And it should NOT be allowed to have nuclear bombs (as no country should be allowed to have them)

I voted they should not be allowed but I'm stumped as to how they can effectively be stopped.

It seems like a reality of the future that more and more small or poor countries are going to adopt them and that rather than the nuclear armageddon that the Mullahs or fans of the Left behind books so desperately crave, we may in the future see a number of smaller catastrophes unfold as these nations use weapons against one another.

Now is the time to nip this trend in the bud but I say this - no half assed oil grabs please - to stop Iran getting out of control this has to be effective and permanent and clean.

IMO: Iran can have all the nuclear technology they want as long as they do not develop or produce atomic weapons. Reasons I feel Iranian nukes are a bad idea…

I don’t trust Iran with atomics.
Iran doesn’t need atomics.
Today’s nuclear weapons proliferation is a very bad idea. The world should be building down, not up.
Other nations feeling threatened by Iranian nukes will desire to have there own.
Too many nukes in too many hands equates to greater potential of there use.
The Middle East needs more examples of cooperation, peaceful problem resolution and the reduction of scapegoat hypocrisy used for personal avarice and gain. Another nuclear power in the region would demonstrate the opposite.
Iranian nukes will attract the wrong kind of US and allied attention driving Iran further away from world integration and closer to a closed isolated society.
Iranian nukes will further inflame the region causing more world brushfire conflicts.
A political or individual hothead mistake might occur and the US alliance gets sucked into something worse than simple site bombing, like liberating Iran. I see that as counter productive and leading to more conflict that Europe will not support in the short run. Positive aspects of Iranian nukes

Nukes when threatened buy other nukes sober up a society really well. Although the threat level for catastrophe increases, so does the maturity and cautiousness of the nation. I couldn’t think of a better tool for defusing the more militant Iranian’s than the legitimate targeting of several hundred ICBM’s from Kansas, the Atlantic Ocean, Israel, Great Briton and several other nations. If they make one wrong move, big badda boom, bounce the rubble, glass and blast shadows and it’s legit with no pansy ass winy crybaby left wing clueless whack jobs having the time to toss a law suit or babble nonsense on the **** tube to stop the missiles in flight.
The above mentioned brushfire wars resulting will heat up the nationalistic issues of the region, accelerating change and force more exposure of regional hypocrisy although, bloody and terrible it will be, will still end the regional bullsh*t sooner so the world can move on to focus on other messed up regions for needed cleanup and civilized behavior lessons.
More of the less worried people of the world and more of those who foolishly thought “we could all get along in one happy apologist utopia” will convert to a more mature, moderate and cooperative alliance to pressure Iran and other similar nations into being more civil. The now more radical fringe left over can be more easily designated and forced to play by the rules or ejected into there own alliance.
New alliances of more like minded nations will appear and grow strong while other nations once trusted but really out for there own fortune will be ejected, isolated or form new alliances. Kraf001: Good point but I think that subject is a bad sidetrack to go down being that its so old an issue and related to an older conflict. Then again, if its a bone of contention with your average Iranian then I can see it being a point.

If Pakistan has it why not Iran ?

[Bob Lawbla]

I voted yes under one stipulation.

All Iranian Nuclear facilities will be run by the U.N. under the direction of Iran.

Problem solved.

[HR24]

I'm really moving towards the logic that Iraq was more of a strategic maneuver against Iran. I think Iran is really getting jittery with the US sitting on both sides of it, and allies, albeit shaky ones, in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia sitting there too. I think all of the sabre rattling by Iran is due to the US starting to box them into a corner.

Like I said, just my random thoughts on this.

[annihilation]

You forgot a 4th option. Don't care if they get nukes or not. Not going to lift a finger and waste my time about it (militarily). Diplomatically, talking is about as far as I would like it to go.

[Pille1234]

With the decision to go into Iraq, a nuclear armed Iran has become inevitable.

[Clarsachier]

I voted yes under one stipulation.

That certainly worked with Lybia.
