It is a common line amongst liberals that there are legitimate reasons for Iran to develop nuclear capabilities. (But isn't the type of uranium-enrichment being practiced by Iran specific for bomb-making?)
But even if it were true that Iran is trying to develop nuclear capabilities for peaceful reasons, what is the point? With all the oil they're sitting on, they don't need any other kind of energy -- the fossil fuel they have will last them forever.

Why use it themselves when they can sell it for $120 a barrel?
