Answer 1

Exterminate them....

Answer 2

Nothing...and I don't think it surprises anybody...And why exactly would Iran respect the UN resolution?It has a perfect example that nothing happens when countries don't apply what UN says:Israel rejected more than 70 resolution and no one does a single thing to enforce them to apply them.Israel got away with murder because of it...So why some countries have to respect the resolutions and others don't?

As for what the next step would be...I really don't think a military strike would be a good idea...US is too busy with Iraq and Afghanistan where it created a total mess...And even if they would attack Iran,unlike Iraq,Iran does have the capacity to defend itself and more win a war...And Israel,after this summer I think Iran would be too much for them...Both US and Israel are perfectly aware that Iran has the means to defend itself from any military strike and more,in case that happens they would have the support of Russia and China...And not even US is that brave...
"The West will have to learn to live with a nuclear Iran."

Answer 3

Their neighbors aren't concerned, the majority of the world isn't concerned and they have no capability to cause us any real harm. So then, how about we just mind our own business for a change instead of going off half-****** every time the Chicken Little wing of the neo-con movement starts screaming that "the sky is falling?"

Answer 4

Certainly it's no surprise, and sanctions only work when all countries abide by them. (See France and Iraq). The best answer I can see is to isolate Iran from the rest of the world. Let them see if they can indeed exist solely on their own. I don't think so.

Answer 5

Iran is a scary place. There are many in the country that want this nut bag out. We can only hope that a movement from with in creates a civil war and tries to bring about a new government.

Iran and their "leader" want to bring about Armageddon. They want their "god" to come back to earth.. and they want to die so they can get their 70 virgins.

That's terrifying.

Answer 6

Well, we can't invade them, obviously, since we are caught up in Iraq. I think we should do what we are trying do to with N.Korea and convince Russia and China to keep putting pressure on these countries to get them to give up their nuclear programs. I do think that military options shouldn't be taken off the table for the future, but not they very near future.

Answer 7

If you need any more proof that Iran is dangerous and the UN is impotent read this:
Iran insists its nuclear program is intended to produce energy, but the Americans and Europeans suspect its ultimate goal is the production of weapons.

Ahmadinejad also downplayed the resolution, saying it would be the Security Council that regretted it, not Iran.

"This will not damage the nation of Iran, but its issuers will soon regret this superficial and nil act," he said, speaking to a group of war veterans from the 1980-88 Iran-
Iraq war at the former U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

The United States has said it hopes the resolution will clear the way for tougher measures by individual countries, particularly Russia.

The Bush administration had pushed for tougher penalties. But Russia and China, which both have strong commercial ties to Tehran, balked.

To get their votes, the resolution dropped a ban on international travel by Iranian officials involved in nuclear and missile development and specified the banned items and technologies.

It says the council will review Iran's actions in light of a report from the head of the IAEA, requested within 60 days, on whether the country has suspended uranium enrichment and complied with other IAEA demands.

It also says sanctions will end when the board of the IAEA confirms that Iran has complied with all its obligations.

The six countries trying to get Iran to curb its nuclear program — Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the United States — offered Tehran a package of economic and political incentives if it agreed to suspend uranium enrichment. But Iran refused and rejected an Aug. 31 council deadline to freeze enrichment.

Earlier Sunday, Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said the resolution made his country more "decisive in realizing our nuclear aims."

"From Sunday morning, we will begin activities at Natanz — site of 3,000-centrifuge machines — and we will drive it with full speed. It will be our immediate response to the resolution," Iran's Kayhan newspaper quoted Larijani as saying.

Iran first showed its ability to enrich uranium in February, when it produced a small batch of low-enriched uranium using a first set of 164 centrifuges at its pilot complex in Natanz.

Iran has said it intends to move toward large-scale uranium enrichment involving 3,000 centrifuges by late 2006, and then expand the program to 54,000 centrifuges, which spin uranium gas into enriched material to produce nuclear fuel.
This is another reason that Iraq is so important! YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH A TERRORIST NUT-JOB!!!

Answer 8

We wait until they nuke someone and then turn their retched hole of a country into a parking lot. That's the only way the Liberals in this country will ever do anything.

Answer 9

They need to have their nuclear program taken out sooner rather than later. The world is allowing that loudmouthed dictator to gain power, and this is just like 1930's Germany with Hitler.

It should either be conducted by the U.S., we need to instruct Israel to do it (which they would), or both.

Answer 10

no it does not surprise me

Iran wants uranium for 2 different reasons
1) Nukes
2) poisin water supply of a select country (Isreal and US)

Answer 11

Let's put further strain on our misused military and invade.
