Ok, that may be true, but how can Iranian government officials make that qualification?
I don't want to have a war with how much the current one was bungled. I think Iran is a severely troubled country and the human rights issues are of a great concern (Iran is one of the worst Muslim countries as far as shari'a law goes) but I think if they get enough global pressure against them, there won't need to be a war.
If NK has already obtained the technology and can actually launch a nuke, wouldn't that make them the graver situation by default?
yes, that's not what I'm saying though. The fact that NK has nukes makes that situations a lot more risky RIGHT NOW. If Iran develops nukes, it will create 2 very difficult situations. What I'm saying is that we should nip this now so we don't have ANOTHER sketchy situation in Iran like we do in NK.
so stop Iran and forget about NK?
America cant stop Iran, hell look at Iraq what a mess that is
