I am an AMERICAN, first and for most.
As an American, and with the core fundamental beliefs of the founding fathers, I say yes.
"All men are created equal". The key words here are, "ALL MEN".
When did it become a world of just ONE?
Who are we in this world to say this country or that country has the right to do this thing or that thing? Or not.
When did we as a nation of ALL Races become the worlds police?
Having said that, I don't want someone who has a hair up his *** about something we or someone else did to nuke the world.
That includes us, The USA.
I say that if we can have them to f@#k up our neighbors on a whim, then they can have them also.

Every country has a right to enrich uranium if they want. However, there are 2 limiting factors:
1) Can the earth afford to hold all the waste that would be generated if we all used this technology? If no, then maybe we ALL need to support new and cleaner technologies.
2) If any nation enriches uranium to kill anyone (except the president who wants the uranium), then their right must be taken away. It's that simple; just like a drivers license. If you can't drive properly and you go around knocking all manner of things from the road, then you don't deserve the privilege.
However, it is not the US that should be pushing these agenda. It should always be the UN (even though it has been pretty impotent, though that can be fixed). When nations single-handedly push agenda, it is easy for the perpetrator to play victim and sometimes it works. Just look at Iran. So, it is very important for nations to channel their grievances through the UN. With the UN acting as a jury, it is hard for the victim to slip out of the hands of justice. If ya don't believe me, jusk ask Saddam about "Operation Desert Storm". Actually, iy might be hard to find him but you could try. And while you're at it, say hi to Waldo if u see him!!

Yes I do believe that Iran has the right to enrich Uranium for energy consumption because it makes sense. Nuclear power, when used properly and safely is very efficient, safe, clean, and cheap to use. Then why are we not taking advantage of such a great, self sufficient, clean, economical, everlasting capacity? It goes down to the money. Nuclear plants, like atomic bombs are expensive to produce. But wait; why do we have so many atomic bombs that are useless and not enough power plants? It goes back to the money, again. The rich and powerful are not going to give up such a great commodity as oil, which fills their pockets to capacity. This country has all the capabilities to eliminate oil by using the waves of the sea, solar wind, solar power, nuclear energy, hydro power, and other sources to clean this earth and add to every ones economy, but the rich and powerful won't go for that, and they won't give Iran a chance to prove that nuclear power can solve many of our energy costs. I don't know if their plan is to use the uranium to make nuclear bombs, that is another issue....KECK

Yes. Any country has the right to do this if their ultimate goal is to provide their citizens with nuclear power, an alternative to fossil fuel burning.
However, the problem with Iran is not that they want to develop nuclear power, but it is believed their ACTUAL goal is to develop nuclear weapons.
Iran's actions and the words of their president have shown that they are not interested in peace with the rest of the world, and that they are not trying to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. They want Israel wiped off the earth, they hate the western countries that have been supporting Israel, and they refuse to allow globally accepted nuclear inspection teams from reviewing their nuclear enrichment site(s).
Any country should be allowed to send inspect another country's nuclear program to ensure that they are not using it for ulterior motives. If they do not trust the inspectors from one country, they should ask that an independent inspection team (not from that country or their own) be used to do the inspection. This will help prevent spying or sabotage.

yes i can believe that, but on what purpose, energy consumption??? then that sounds absolutely crazy and unreasonable. because they have in abundance the crude oil that can generate and supply the '000s generation to come energy for consumption. why uranium enrichment? it's obvious that the main reason behind it is to equal herself to the uranium - rich countries. and if by all means they want to have it then they should allow inspectors to make way for them for the enrichment. this will give way for peace to reign. thank you

Yes they have the right to enrich Uranium for electricity.
If they were intending to make nuclear weapons out of it, they have chosen the slowest and most inefficient way to do it.
Centrifuges are a great way to create commercial grade reactor fuel but they are a very poor choice for creating weapons grade material.
There are much easier ways to create weapons grade material that are very poor choices for creating commercial grade reactor fuel.

If that is what they really needed it for no one would have a problem with it. But everyone knows they are trying to make nuclear weapons. They have every right to do it, but the world has a responsibility to stop them before we all end up in a nuclear war.

Do I believe they have the right?
If they weren't sitting on 1/3 of the worlds oil, yes.
Do I believe that Iran is trying to enrich uranium for energy?
Nope. It's for nuclear weapons. It's not like Ahmedinijad had been seriously hiding the fact that he wants to nuke Israel.

Uranium enriched for energy uses has been offered to iran for virtually no cost, but they denied it.
Iran has not shown the world they can be trusted with the power of destroying it. If they 'have the right to enrich it" we have the right to bomb the crap out of them.

Right in this case is a tremndous word. You neighbor has a right to bare arms but not a morter shell, or hand grenade. He can legally purchase 10,000 guns but do you want to live next door to him when he goes nuts? Just saying your neighbor has a history of being a little off the wall at times against you?
