IF iran was a friendly loving democracy i have had some say it would be ok to have nukes IS this just dumb.?

Question

THATS all the world needs is more nukes in any nation .THE real threat is the existance of one .NOT the one Iran might have but the ONE .NO nation should have them period .THIS was is and will be a bad idea .IT forces unacceptable behavior by those who have them and fear for those who do not .
FORCE is what makes people bend to the will of others when confronted with choice of do as i say or else .

Answer 1

You are right. And it is the principle of force that causes Iran to want a nuclear bomb so that it can change the balance of power. The real power under the Iranian constitution is the Supreme Leader who is appointed for life. The former Supreme Leader was Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. After Khomeini's death, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei was appointed. Sayyid Khamenei has a vision of establishing a caliphate from Iran to include Iraq and Lebanon (possibly Syria). Having a nuclear bomb would give him the force to keep power and control of that region and go forth with the agenda to establish a world Islamic theocracy.

Sanctions may not be enough. But it is worth the effort. Since Natanz, the nuclear research facility is underground, simply a massive EMP explosion in the atmosphere to knock out all electronics would not be sufficient.

Russia has repeatedly urged Iran to stop enriching uranium. Russis said it "regrets" Iran's decision not to halt uranium enrichment by the deadline. Some time ago Russia offered to sell Iran its enriched uranium to use in the power plant and has offered to help Iran construct a "light water" facility. Instead Iran opted to construct a "heavy water" facility which was recently opened at Arak. The underground research facility at Natanz

Mohammad Nabi Rudaki stated that 164 centrifuge sets are now enriching uranium up to 4.5 percent grade to provide nuclear fuel for industrial and power plant needs and that Iran will soon enrich uranium to the grade of 9 percent in 3000 centrifuge sets.

China has far more trade with the US than with Iran and although it competes with the US for oil, it receives roughly one quarter of OPEC oil.

If the Islamic leaders were a little less apocalyptic, perhaps a diplomatic solution might be found. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei wants to be the Shiite Caliph from Iran through Iraq to Lebanon. He needs to shift the balance of power in his favor.

The UN Security Council has reviewed the report from the Director General of the IAEA regarding whether Iran has established full and sustained suspension of all uranium enrichment and research activities. However, the UNSC will wait to consider possible actions until after the European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, meets with Ali Larijani, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, sometime in the middle of next week to seek a negotiated solution to the standoff over Tehran's refusal to freeze uranium enrichment.

The UNSC may take measures under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations to persuade Iran to comply with Resolution 1696 and the requirements of the IAEA. The UNSC will use diplomatic and economic sanctions including a ban on missile and nuclear technology to Tehran; international refusal to grant entry visas to those involved in Iran’s nuclear program and a freeze of their assets as well as a ban on investment in the country. Don't count on Russia and China to block that sanction vote. But if they do, there are other alternatives

U.S. Central Command is updating a target list for Iran. Retired Gen. McInerney advocates using B-2 stealth bombers, cruise missiles and jet fighters to conduct a one- or two-day bombing campaign to take out Iran's air defenses, military facilities and about 40 nuclear targets, which includes a Russian-built reactor and an enrichment plant at Bushehr. Israel has drafted plans for air strikes using long-range versions of the F-15 and F-16 fighters.

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 that it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. The West is still offering many economic incentives.

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.

On August 23, 2006 an 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."

Iran has been persistent to deter IAEA inspectors on certain properties which had been agreed to under the NPT (nuclear non-proliferation treaty.)

Ali Soltanieh, Iran's permanent representative to the IAEA, denied that Iran had refused UN inspectors' access to its underground nuclear facilities at Natanz in central Iran. Iran needs to enrich uranium as a peaceful, alternative energy source and has the right to do so under the NPT, according to Iranian officials. They have told the IAEA that the traces of enriched uranium came from equipment purchased from another country, which was already contaminated.

Iran does not allow for remote monitoring of the PFEP (Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant). Or monitoring of the PHRC (Physics Research Center). Or monitoring of the P-1 and P-2 centrifuges which it purchased from Pakistan.

Iran delenda est.

Answer 2

No nation should have nukes, I agree but getting the world to agree is not going to happen....and I am glad that when others have them I live in a country that has a lot of them....the threat of them is what will help us....I do agree though that If Iran were an allie and democracy of the US...we would let the reasearch for "friendly means like electricial plants and energy"

Answer 3

Nobody needs nukes. The problem is that in developing nations they are seen as the pinnacle of technological development. Once a nation has nukes they somehow believe that they have arrived as a world power.

Why the possession of a weapon of terror and mass destruction makes a country great is beyond me.

Aside from NASA and the technological explosion it caused, I would love to see what other developments in humankind would have been possible if the Cold War and creation of a nuclear arms race had not existed. All of the money and brain power poured into that race could have yielded some awesome results.

Answer 4

Dude, stop waisting our time with your quasi-"questions".

Obviously nukes are bad. That is like saying that chemical weapons are not good. Duh.

Taking nukes away from countries would be like trying to take guns away from people. It will never happen. Why? If one person secretly didn't destroy all their weapons - suddenly they become the most powerful nation on the world.

Now, AGAIN, the reason we don't want Iran to have nukes is not because we don't want anyone to have nukes - it is the fact that they would probably use them. Not in self defense, but in an aggressive attack on Israel. They are Militant Islamic state, who sponsors terrorists - people who without hesitation will kill innocents and themselves. I doubt Iran would hesitate to use nukes either.

Why don't you take your message of peace to the countries that truly need it - like Iraq, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan. I am sure you will get far.

Answer 5

I think you are missing the point here. The leader of Iran has publicly announced his hate for Israel. That being known, what would this man do with a nuke. Would he use it for "peace" or the total destruction of Israel. No one can say but who wants to take that chance!

Answer 6

Your almost there. The nuke the Iran has is not the problem, it's the nuke Iran will use if it has one. They have made themselves pretty clear on their intentions with Isreal. At what point should we trust them? We shouldn't. Ever.

Answer 7

The Russians and the Chinese don`t see Iran as a nuclear threat, why the f*ck should anyone else? I don`t either.

Answer 8

Okay...somebody does not live in reality....so what about the one country that says they got rid of all of them...but kept one

They're here...they saved millions of american lives in WWII...and they're not going anywhere..

I really hope we never ever have to use them....but i'm sure glad they are there

Welcome to planet earth...enjoy your stay

Answer 9

a wise man once said "i dont know what word war 3 going to be like but well be fighting world war 4 with sticks and stones"

Answer 10

Keep smoking that stuff - it will rot your brain
