Iran ended its nuclear program in 2003 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7126422.stm) and that is according to US intelligence. Yet Bush is STILL pushing for sanctions, and says Iran is dangerous - even not ruling out military action. So if Iran has done exactly what Bush has told them and given up its nuclear ambitions, what more can they do?

I guess the leader of their country could stop talking about wiping Israel and the U.S. off the map and bringing about Armageddon so as to prepare the way for the 12th Imam. That might be a good start. Or maybe he could stop funding the terrorists in Iraq and providing weapons for them.
Besides, Israel says they have information indicating that Iran's nuclear weapons program has not stopped.
I bet you were someone that screamed that Bush lied when he believed the info on WMD and now you scream that he's wrong for not believing the info on Iran. Please get over your BDS and realize that there really are people in the world that want you (and me and Bush and Hillary) DEAD.

Iran is absolutely still dangerous. President Bush is still pushing for sanctions because although they stopped their current nuclear program they are still enriching uranium and they've never even remotely dismantled any of the facilities that were used in their nuclear program. This means that if they decided today that they want to continue with their planning, all they have to do is send the personnel back to the facility and off they go again with hardly a hitch in their stride.

Iran does in fact have a nuclear program; only it has not been used for weaponry/building warheads since 2003. Iran says the nuclear program is being used only to generate electricity.
The program does exist. If there are no sanctions, they are free to pursue uranium enrichment / weaponry with this program. What do YOU think they should do at this point, given their history?

I'd be pretty suspicious if the President of a middle east country, which just so happens to be purifying uranium, was rallying its country with slogans like "Kill Israel, Kill Bush!" and "Destroy America!"
In my opinion, just because intelligence says Iran isn't producing nuclear weapons doesn't mean that they aren't dangerous. It all has to do with strategy and manipulation. The President of Iran wants us to turn on our president. He wants instability.

They didn't end their nuclear program, they apparently stopped trying to develop nuclear weapons. They are still enriching uranium, ostensibly for power generation, but they do it clandestinely. That program is easily manipulated to enrich and divert weapons grade material.
What they could do is open up the enrichment program to IAEA inspection like all the other good nuclear citizens do.

The UN purely wrote that decision because of the fact we twisted their arm and that they knew we've been going to circulate with or without their approval. Going into Iraq replace into our theory. Iran is a good greater effective, greater complicated, and greater desirable armed u . s . than Iraq ever replace into. Bombing it may desire to have unintended wider effects. and actually, the objective of the UN is to stay away from bombing and destroying different international places, loopy!!! ;) they are enormously lots anti-conflict till there is not any different selection. the entire element replace into began to stay away from international conflict III. so far, so good...

US politicians need war to win elections, Iran has petrol but no nukes, US likes petrol and has nukes.
Goodbye Iran.

To support Bush's lies so he has an excuse to start up another war. That's about all that is left.
