How does one know the fate of religiously unstable governments in India and Pakistan? What would happen if their crude Nuclear Weapons (if they work at all), in the future, falls into the hands of a rogue regime. This is simply the US and newly "powerful" governments trying to keep themselves in the news by faking a serious situation.

[romett100]

Am I mistaken, but who said that there should be any agreement between so called World's Powers and Iran. Every country is entitled to its security and to the Nuclear Weapons. If nuclear weapons are not desired in Iran they should be stripped away from India, Pakistan, Israel and possibly China and Japan. I see it as a case of overindulgence from the World powers especially the US (I don't know why but always the US).

@Playstation72 Your right bro, but i dont know how this is gonna end any time soon without it. We will loose many many men and women.

Yeah i agree about avoiding Nuclear warfare, but dude lets be real man. How is this shit gonna end? Killing off 500,000+ Or lossing 1,000,000 i mean i am exaggerating i dont know the numbers pacifically . But i cannot think of a more logical ending to this stupid war anymore.

[Playstation72]

@physic3 Still, we want to avoid nuclear warfare at all costs. The consequences will be catastrophic.

I believe someday North Korea will begin to sell nuclear technology to terrorists who always wish to destroy US cities.

just to set things straight, the powerhouse countries (US, Russia, China), are not allowing any other country to produce nuclear weapons. But iraq and north korea, they won't listen. iraq is pretty much done now, but if let's say US atks north korea, they'll unleash their nuclear bombs. which in that case, will penetrate and probably brake the ozone layer that protects us from the sun, and then we'll all fry to death, even the arctic inuits.
