So what about israel and its nukes? They should be inspected too. Hmmmmmmm............. not likely

@playgrrrr Watch and weep. Not my place to say, really. It's not like I'll be in battle! However, the likelihood that Iran will be bombed after today's IAEA released report has just tripled, and I was already pretty sure it would happen. In case you weren't paying attention to the news today, it is now beyond doubt that Iran is weaponizing. Taking out the Iranian nuclear program has gone from necessary to crucial, and it is a humanistic endeavor.

@Norskebanan Of course not. If they want to remain truly sovereign and not just be a puppet like Saudi Arabia or how Egypt and Iraq were, then they need to have some aces.

sick sick people, USA you are ruled by evil people, greedy people, arrogant people and savages!

The secret facility was announced to IAEA 18 months before coming on line, IAEA rule is 6 month so why do you lie savage!

@05soltom

That makes sense, also, in the context of the cold war, it definitely seems that two contries who both have nukes will be pretty damant about not actually going to war with each other, i mean a serious physical war.

India and pakistan too, for example. even though they have disputed territory it hasnt broken out into war.

So maybe its not a bad idea to let them have weapons because it seems that we can all sort of agree that

theyre to horrible to use.
