I can't disagree with you,so I think the solution is to give the irani people the choice either to choose another president to be in charge of the nuclear energy or to stop the researches at least until this whole thing is resolved with the UN,
again I would most definitely hate a nuclear war starting anywhere in the world.

Nouran, it's also nice for teenagers to be able to drive cars once they get their driver's license, but if a teen blatantly shows a lack of responsibility and conscientiousness and respect for others, do you automatically hand him the car keys? Just because nuclear energy would be "nice" for the Iranian people to have, given its potential deadly use shouldn't the leader of that country have to demonstrate those same qualities toward their fellow inhabitants of this planet? saying you want to see Israel driven back into the sea, as arimajade did doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his motives.

Has anyone every been fooled? OK, maybe we don't like to admit it, but we have, in one way or another. Laws are made, laws are changed, laws are twisted, laws will be broken.

These leaders who make statements of ill towards other countries are not worth the energy of trying to figure out. UN scientists/inspectors can go and look and report back all they want. I am sure somewhere, somehow, they are cleaver enough to hide what they are doing. Every country has its secrets. It would be great to think Peace can be achieved with ease, but through out mankind, when has the world truly seen peace?? We are talking thousands of years and still no peace.

One out of a billion. A grain of sand on the shore. Perspective!

Today many countries will be exploring alternative energies “Nuclear”. I not sure if anyone has been near or visited a Nuclear Plant, the majority of us know that they are very vulnerable and dangerous plant facilities. They must continue to be regulated or monitored accordingly by professionals “scientists” like the IAEA “International Atomic Energy Agency for safety precautions. If a nuclear plant was too accidently blow up, it would cause a deadly disaster creating medical health complications as we are aware of with the children that were born deformed and ill in Russia after their own nuclear disaster. We can not have countries who believe there are above international law proceeding with these nuclear programs without the proper supervision of IAEA and UN.

I just think that there is a difference between the president of Iran and Iran as a country full of civilians who also need to benefit from the various uses of the nuclear energy.

[QUOTE=Melissa1982;21634

"The USA already used a nuclear bomb once on Japan."

Wrong Melissa. The U.S. used nuclear bombs two times on Japan.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks near the end of World War II against the Empire
of Japan by the United States at the executive order of U.S. President Harry S. Truman on August 6 and 9, 1945.
After six months of intense fire-bombing of 67 other Japanese cities, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped
on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed on August 9 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear
bomb over Nagasaki. These are to date the only attacks with nuclear weapons in the history of warfare.

The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945, roughly half on
the days of the bombings. Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness attributed to exposure to
radiation released by the bombs. [COLOR="Red"]In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians.[/COLOR]

That first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was one thing but that second atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki just 3 short days later was a bit much to say the least.

We were all on agreeness together for a change when suddenly Villa comes in with his facts about the USA bombing Japan. lol

I was wondering when you would respond to this.

I realize that a bomb was dropped twice, but they were so soon after each other that it's kind of hard to learn from history already, so that's why I said "once".

My point is that nuclear energy is a very good thing, but nuclear can be dangerous when used wrong and there for should be moderated when a leader of a country threatens another country. In fact it should just be moderated period.

That's the case with every country, but it's the leader of a country who decides if a war is started or not and can demand the military to do something.

Nuclear plants are very good for engery but can also be extremely dangerous. It should be moderated no matter what country you are from. That's just my opinion though.

Villa this info and the nuclear disaster in Russia is what makes this current issue with Iran so important. Liberals and anti war critics have got to stop searching for excuses not to take military aciton on countries who's leaders decided to block IAEA from inspecting their energy programs when international sanctions fail to change their course of action.

The supreme leader of Iran has decided to take the same route as Saddam who blocked the UN inspectors from regulating his energy “nuclear” programs. This was the core reason we attacked Saddam and the initial problem that started the war. You Liberals and anti war critics keep forgetting this fact! Everything else was secondary to this fact...Unfortunately Liberal “hypocrites” and anti war critics bought into a liberal media anti war propaganda driven by an American democratic political agenda sponsored by CNN international and convinced others around the world that it was a preplanned war for Oil by G.W Bush which also created the largest anti American sentiment in world history. Where are the Oil revenues from Iraq during these hard economic times in America..in Dick Cheney’s back pocket? The decision to go to war was made by Saddam not UN or G.W Bush. Iran is next if it does not change its course and let the inspectors back in!
