The United States is Not the World’s Gendarme
The United States is not the world’s gendarme to act as the self-declared gate-keeper as to who should or should not be allowed to have nuclear power and, yet, unfortunately this is precisely how the US has behaved toward Iran, by insisting that it should forfeit its “inalienable rights” under the articles of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) that permit Iran’s possession of a peaceful nuclear fuel cycle,
From the prism of international law, however, the legal justification for this unreasonable request by the US and some European governments is simply lacking,(1) no wonder a bulk of the international community that includes the 118 member states of the Non-Aligned Movement has supported Iran’s nuclear rights. Sadly, the issue of Iran’s nuclear program has been politicized by Washington and Tel Aviv and the avalanche of misperceptions often prevent an objective scrutiny of facts from fictions regarding Iran.(2)

WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..extra wait .. Fioricet Borges
If you want Iran to stop developing nuclear power and perhaps weapons, why not get Israel to abolish thier nuclear weapons? I think all nuclear weapons should be destroyed but I fail to understand the logic that the only country in the Middle East that can have nuclear weapons is Israel. They deny that they have them but are intent on not letting any other country in the region develop nuclear power. The bombed nuclear facilities in Iraq and Syria. So, we can expect them to do the same in Iran.
I realize the main reason Iran can't be allowed to have nuclear weapons is because they are considered a rogue state. That's making predictions about future intentions. If past actions are the best indicators of future actions then both Israel and Iran will use their nuclear weapons if they feel threatened.
The civility and standards of life have always been taken for granted by those removed from the light of God. Those people are savage murderous liars. We hear all day long that no such evil men exist, and these people here will chime in with that notion. This is no longer a time for children . These niave and evil creatures should be removed. Evil does exist and we should only allow those whom are honest people to exist. That is what God said. These people are evil and they deal with childish ideas. The 10,000 years of the humanity should progress beyond these pretentious ideas. It's the kings and wealthy whom have no care for justice or progress. This is why we are stagnant. We must removed dishonest people, or those adults whom are retarded in their beliefs. These are not honest people. These should be ground to remove them from society and from society removed be at the mercy of the civil vangard. That;s civil.
So, uh, do you think Jesus will go along with you? Or.... what? Where are you going to "remove" these hateful hateful people to?
Think JESUS will decide to just erase everything he said in new testament? Just for You?
You are wrong again. Jesus said to hate these people. he said on,love others as you love yourself, ie, DO NOT BE A HYPOCRITE, nor be a selfishish hypocrite.
THe Liberal motto is, love love, hate hate. That's a hypocrisy, it is a selfish hypocrisy. It is dishonest, to not undestand this, is an idiocy.
Again i will mention, jesus said to hate these people or you are not worthy of him. You don't like that but that's the fact of it. Forget theology and talk sense, and logic.
Who are these people that Jesus told us to hate? Moslems? Iranians? They didn't exist in the time of Jesus.
..... thank you for this. you're making it sooooo much easier for me.
and I don't want us to be. But our government has a responsibility to protect us from our enemies, and Iran has shown itself repeatedly to be an enemy of the US. Allowing them to acquire nuclear weapons, which is what this is really about in spite of your assertions to the contrary, would be suicide.
The facts would show that Iran has been the victim of our threats on its national sovereignty and by your logic is more than right in building nuclear weapons.
This is the reason the debate has a false premise. The debate should be, Is any country right in wielding the destructive potential of nuclear weapons against any other country?
