Explanation:
"Today, we are a nuclear country and we are talking to others from that position." Those were the words of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, explaining his refusal to suspend his country's uranium enrichment program. While many believe that Iran has a right to develop nuclear power, others, including the Bush administration, fear a parallel nuclear weapons program. How should the international community react to Iran’s burgeoning atomic ambitions?

Hubris galore on moral superiority and more...
It is vehemently appalling to consider Iran a barbaric nation when our own government has the blood of more than million Moslem's on its hands, just in teh past 8 years, and not to mention our support of Iran-Iraq war, and our government is still threatening other nations of that region with military strikes in violation of all articles of UN. Latest violation was an illegal attack on the Syrian soil. Stick your head out of the sand: we are not well liked in the Islamic World, and it is all about clear failure of the foreign policy of our government and pundits like the ones express their views on vilifying Iran and Iranians.
IRI has been waging a war on US is another shortsighted farce by the Washington neo-cons that have taken our country's foreign policy hostage. According to the last article by Sy Hersh, Bush had authorized more than 400 million dollars to create havoc in Iran by helping all the terrorist groups surrounding Iran, such as Jundolah, PJEK, MEK, and so on. Where is the moral superiority here?
Now as for the nuclear issue, the price of uranium fuel for reactors has increase by a factor of 30 in the past 7 years. Moreover, refusal to deliver this fuel by our own government and Russia and other European countries is well documented and is another indication for countries such as Iran, Japan, and Brazil to resort to domestic fuel production, even though the cost is higher than the European company Urenco.
