Iran is a big issue to the US because they have the oil. Therefore the US and their offshore state israel have been threatening Iran with attack. Because of these threats, iran has had to build a large defense arsenal.
In other words, the US wants to control the world's oil and will stop at nothing to achieve the goal.
 
Why cant they be allowed to build nuclear weapons, assuming they are. why should we stop them?
Isnt that what MAD mutually assured destruction all about.
In 1940s, we knew for a fact stalin in the soviet union was working on building a nuclear weapon. It came, we called it first lightening. we both knew they couldn't use it without retaliation of the same sort.
Let Iran waist billions worth of their national wealth building a weapon that will just sit in their storage or silos because they know they cant use it without a retaliation that will destroy their country.
oil is not running out. at the last time i checked the fields we have now will last at least another 300 years.
He is frightening and hateful toward jews but i dont think the leader of iran is mad enough to launch a suicidal attack that is assured to destroy his own country. He doesnt want to watch a majority of his power and his people destroyed in a massive nuclear counterattack. NO national leader wants that
canadian Alberta Oil Sands are one example of a huge source of oil. I think they said that reserve has enough oil for 170 years.
if we wanted control over oil we would be threatening canada. Wigget thank you, i think you are right but i disagree with our policy here. im afraid if we attack iran to stop them from making nuclear weapons, we in America will look like the bad guys and inflame the world against us.
 
Because Iran support lunatics who don't care about MAD. If Hamas or Hezbollah got their hands on a nuclear weapon, they would use it.

This is why religion needs to be abolished.
 
Because Iran is as frightening to watch as Germany must have been in the days leading up to WWII.

Mutually assured destruction only works when your enemy values its own skin. When the islamic peoples produce so many suicide bombers for no discernible reason then MAD no longer provides any such assurance. There is nothing to support the idea that they won't use nuclear weapons to spite their enemy even in the face of MAD.
 
Its not that we need oil but that Iran has been punishing the US and Israel over a ideology called Zionism, used as a pretext for politicians to boost the weapons industry and enforce a democracy in the middle east which only serves the rich in America and Israel.

So diplomatically Iran refuses to sell its oil in US dollars which normally pays our US National Debt.

There also has been statements by te CIA in 1999 that Sadam actually died from cancer and a double started selling oil in Euros., The double sold oil to Russia which upset the US and gave the reasons to invade and punish the people. (illegally all from the start)
