comon' give me a break...that just media hype on behalf of bush. didn't we learn from his lies? remember when he gave the americans that terror speech talking about WMD in Iraq and how we must stop that Hussien?

Iran is a wonderful country with excellent, decent, hardworking families...now why the hell would their president declare that he will make weapons and nuke the world?

don't believe the media hype...or we'll fall into the same deal we did with Iraq.

Iran says it's not fair. How come everyone else gets the bomb and not us? Iran will probably trade nuclear material to North Korea to get what they want even sooner. Don't ever think we have the ability to stop them from acquiring them. The point is we shouldn't take them so seriously. If Iran should set one nuke off they won't live very long to celebrate it. I'm all for them being a nuclear power and maintaining some evidence of democracy. Eventually these people and their religious ideology will blend together with modern science and logic. What they did with Lebanon was give Israel a bloody nose thumb theirs at us and turn back the clock of Lebanon's infrastructure. Iran caused chaos in Iraq as a diversion to send arms thru Iraq and Syria to Lebanon.

Neither. They want to yank the chains of the UN and make demands beyond reasonable consessions. Its a political game so they can say "See, we tried the UN was unreasonable."

Quite frankly it would be easier to purchase a nuclear weapon from Russia's "missing" invetory or missles.

Besides a dirty bomb, using their enriched uranium in a non-fissionable delivery system is better than nukes. You get a large land mass unsuitable for human occupancy until it is deconned, you ruin the target's economy and all available money they have goes towards medical surveillance of the effected persons and the decontamination.

With a nuclear weapon you have the scorn of the international community. With a dirty bomb they say "Well it could have been worse... it wasn't a nuke."

Yes, most definitely. Iran will make a nuclear bomb. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini wants it. He is the real power in Iran.

On August 22 Ali Larijani, hand delivered Iran's 21-page response to UNSC 1696 the package of incentives to dissuage Iran from uranium enrichment. Iran's top nuclear negotiator said that Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations" over its disputed nuclear program but did not say whether it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. This was because the West had offered many economic incentives.

On August 31 sanctions may be set against Iran if it continues to enrich uranium. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini avers that Iran has a right to have nuclear weapons. Leaders of the Iranian hard-line regime, believe they have a direct line to God, and they'll do whatever 'divine inspiration' requires them to do. Talking to them is pointless.

On August 19, Iran launched a large-scale area, sea and ground exercise he maneuver, the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), which involved 12 divisions, army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic war units and special forces. Iran's state-run television reported that the new anti-aircraft system was tested "to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies."

On Sunday, August 20, in the Kashan desert about 250 kilometers southeast of the capital of Tehran, Iran tested the Saegheh missile which has a range of between 80 to 250 kilometers. Saegheh means lightning in Farsi. (The language of Iran is not Arabic and Iranians are not Arabs.)
Iran's arsenal also contains the Shahab-3 missile, which means "shooting star" in Farsi, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach Israel and US forces in the Middle East.

Iran's military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.

The Iranian news service Al-Borz, predicted that on the first anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad's government, in late August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service called Iran's "nuclear birth."

In addition, an August 23, 2006 article about Iran's reply to the incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-affiliated website , implied that Iran's nuclear technology had already reached the point of no return: "...

The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:

"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear birth.'

"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.

"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad] will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research centers, and developments in the region."

They have no need for nuclear technology. The only possible reason is to make a bomb and bully Isreal.

Absolutely yes. Iran is very eager to acquire nuclear technology to create weapons. It has been very aggressive in its language towards Israel, calling to wipe it off the earth, and has been aggressive with other countries as well.

Of course they are building a bomb. But then again, maybe the Nazis were building those ovens just to bake a lot of bread, they just accidentally used them to cremate millions of Jewish bodies.

Sure, and who can blame them? Compare and contrast Iraq and North Korea. Which one has the nuclear weapons and which one was invaded by the USA?
