Things with Iran are getting hotter. Now that a consensus is being formed to refer the country to the security council for its nuclear program, the Iranians are pissed.
I quote:
"Iran remained defiant and its chief delegate threatened to suspend all voluntary cooperation with the IAEA if his country is referred to the Security Council."
and
"Iran, which claims its program is peaceful and aimed only at generating electricity, has warned that referral would provoke it into doing exactly what the world wants it to renounce starting full-scale uranium enrichment, a possible step to developing nuclear weapons."
Reader survey: What do you think about the situation with Iran? Should they be referred to the U.N. Security Council? Does Iran have a right to possess nuclear technology for electrical and/or defense purposes? What should the U.S. response be if Iran does withdraw its voluntary cooperation?

I know that a lot of people are scared about Iran having nuclear weapons. With good reason. I think that anybody having nuclear weapons is horrid. Nuclear prolifiration is dangerous and stupid. On the other hand, why do we have the right to tell Iran that they aren't allowed to make a power plant? They are a restrictive Muslim society but as far as I know (and I may be ignorant here) the Iranian government isn't commiting the human rights atrocities that Saddam was.
There is no way our country can handle another conflict like the one in Iraq, which is what I've already heard a lot of people say. "We should just go in and kick Iran's butt!"--- ummm, no. It just won't work. We're already stretched too thin in Iraq, heck... half of the war in Iraq has been subcontracted out to mercenaries aka "private security companies" because we just don't have the manpower. If anything is done it has to be done through the Security Counsil. It has to be the entire United Nations acting as a united front.
ahem-- that would be, *Council*
Scary situation. I hope deligations work out. Eeesh.
BTW, in my Design class last week, we watched a documentary on the Jewish Museum: Berlin and how it artfully demonstrated the horrors of the holocaust . The building is hauntingly beautiful though. Have you ever been there?
Hope things are goin well.

I wonder why in the media the reports that say top secruity agents "doubt that Iran had nukes" are ignored, as well as the former CIA anylist (sp?) under Reagan said that, after looking at al the info it would be 10 years before Iran could even have a nuke.
