Have been following the situation between us (the US) and Iran for over a year ... and have known that we were talking chit ... do I think Iran sponsors terrorist (undecided ... but don't think they would if they really knew their plans), do I think that they are seriously looking for the economic value of nuclear energy ... yes, why should we, as a nation dictate or even try to dictate which countries can develope nuclear energey for just that ... energy purposes. I don't side with Iran on its political views, but I do side with them for their right to develope their country as they see fit. We are not the police of the world, nor do we have the right to be. I am a Republican ... but am very tired of what the people that I helped put in office have done to the country that I served for 15 years ... why I am going to vote for a Democrat or anyone else this year that I feel is better than what is there. just my view ... what is yours?

naive ... I don't think so ... so mmm ... I think you are ... a country, an independant country should not have to depend on another country for its energy purposes ... Iran has already said that it is willing to let everyone watch them, but we in the US and a few of our allies don't think that this is a good idea ... mmm wtf ... if we're watching ... we can act ... this is not a nation trying to develope nuclear weapons, if they were ... they would not allow the world to watch them

and Leogirl ... naive? you might want to open up your eyes ... the US doesn't run the world, and like I said ... every country has its rights to control its energy and where it comes from ... they shouldn't have to pay for it ... but wait ... we in the land of milk and honey ... notice the price of gas ... guess what ... they can raise it, why should we force them to raise their rates of the basic right to have electricity ... at a cheap rate ... you wanna pay another nation for your electric?

What a great question. The difficulty is that Iran and the U.S. have a so so relationship due to a few allies we have. They want to rule their country as they see fit, but a lot of countries fear there nuclear capabilities regardless of if they have weapons or not. The world just needs to open up to them and reach some sort of compromise. We will let you oversee our nuclear program if we can have the freedom to pursue it. The fact that most of the world fears and criticizes them is definitely not helping the situation. If other countries can have that clean cheap power, why can't Iran?

I am more worried about Pakistan next to India. Pakistan is a nuclear,terrorist, country with a dictator leader. Iran`s leader was elected by a majority. I rank Iran up there with North Korea.

you're naive. Nobody in the world would have had a problem with Iran and it's nuclear development. It's responsible to look for energy solutions. BUT, here's the kicker. Russia has offered to enrich the uranium for them and they flat refuse, they have a lunatic for a leader who has publicly stated that Israel should not be on the map, and has denied the holocaust ever happened. So I am more inclined to believe that all the nations in Europe and the middle east have a right to be more than a little concerned with Iran's nuclear program. I've been following it too.
