It may take Iran years to build a bomb and if they do it's for a national identity image. "Yeah we have a bomb don't screw with us" which was the image Soviet Russia and America carried in the Cold War. Look up Mutually Assured Destruction, Nuclear Detterence and look at the key missile conflicts in those years...Then apply it to this situation. Even if they are muslims, give them the benefit of the doubt and don't yell and scream they want a bomb when Israel has more than any other middle east nation..that is more important than anything in this whole debate, the side you are arguing for has more firepower than eveyone else.

So you think heading to a situation where two entities are threatening each other with nuclear weapons is a better situation? That is retarded. Israel has nukes, yeah sure, but they are also much more stable of a country.

You all are taking this too lightly, even the Security Council is saying that this is very, very serious and you know if they say that, it must be.

Did I say that? I was giving an example of what might happen using history. I didn't say anything about it being better.

And putting sanctions on Iran will cause harm on Germany and Italy's economy because they do big business with Iran. Plus Iran puts out heavy amounts of Oil. If I were the Iranian president I would be laughing at the security council. And if anyone invades them they have a standing army ready plus a majority of the population is anti-western, and I would not be suprised if a insurgency worse than Iraq occurs in Iran. If I was a country in the U.N security council I'd let Iran do what they want to do.

And yes, I agree with Einstein saying that the bomb was a horrible creation but we have to deal with it.
