If Iran was only interested in using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, they wouldn't need to make such threats. In fact, it would be in their own best interests to allow inspections at all times and places.

We have two choices: Iran with nuclear weapons or a war against Iran. I suggest the latter is the better choice.

Iran's rhetoric about nuclear inspections is eerily reminiscent of Iraq's. What is it about these countries that start with the letters I-R-A? As a matter of fact, I have a cousin named Ira, and he is a putz.

Is this story starting to sound like another country we know? I better hurry up and retire, I'm getting too old to go to war a third time.

Iran seems to have less patience than Iraq did in playing cat and mouse. Of course, if you believe the Mahdi is coming in less than two years, and his coming will be because of world chaos, they don't have much time, do they?

Boy, I'll be the mullahs are scared to death of the UN!

I agree with your second choice. It IS the better one.

Iran has not learned from the Iraq experience, have they?

Thankfully, the Iranians are too brash/vain/arrogant to bide their time, playing cat and mouse. If they made a longer time-frame, they would have them (like the Pali's would have been better served to wait out Oslo rather than declare intifada part 2). Hopefully, we will either be at war with Iran, or aiding their liberal revolution/ civil war.

This tactic worked well for Saddam. He's in jail, his kids are dead, his country is now democratic and Adadajaheedadedede wants to do it again?

This guy needs a brain transplant.

Get the thing over with. About 2 hours of bombing will do it.

The first strike must be against the MoooooLaaaaaas and the wacko so call leader of the pack.

If Iran gets nukes it will use them on Israel. Israel will, of course, respond, making most of the Middle East uninhabitable for decades. Middle East oil will be unavailable. The world economy will crash, with most of the world plunged back to 19th century living. North America will be dropepd back 100 years with small pockets still having current technology (mostly military assets). The Stock Market will evaporate. Asia will suffer radiation deaths in the tens of millions with hunderds of millions sickened. The Americas will also be hit but to a lesser extent.

Destroying Iran is strictly a pay me now or pay me a lot more later.

Iran is a sovereign nation, as are we. If they want to kick out the UN that's their business. They can face the consequences if we have to act upon less than reliable information.

WHAT'S TO INSPECT? WE WANT TO KNOW IF THE PLAN IS MISSILE DEVELOPMENT? THEY'VE ALREADY SAID THAT PUBLICALLY. MOREOVER,WE ALREADY KNEW THAT THE ONLY COUNTRIES THAT DEVELOP NUCLEAR ENERGY, AT GREAT COST, ARE THOSE WITH INSUFFICIENT CONVENTIONAL ENERGY.

>>>In fact, it would be in their own best interests to allow inspections at all times and places. <<<

The answer to Adjminidinijad (or whatever) is "we place no great priority on inspections.....but perhaps you should".

"Either way....you will not develop a nuclear weapon...we do not have to inspect to assure that outcome. Take your pick".

I would love to see Condi state it in those terms in a UN address.

Due to the fact the mad mullahs favourite colour is Muslim green, these diaper headed terrorist thugs are begging to glow green.

Especially the little laughing Adolph Jr!
