It is a dangerous mistake to believe all people think as we do. Different cultures are influenced by different circumstances and beliefs.
This article gives some insight to the dreams of a culture who have long hated and held the west responsible for their plight.
To those of you who defend Iran's right to nuclear weapons, ponder for just a minute the possibility that the article is correct, and that we allow the continuation of Iran's nuclear program at our own peril.

I'm not buying the whole "they're a Messianic people bent on destroying the world" nonsense.
Look...they want a nuke, they're a sovereign nation, and have the right to build one. We'll just have to learn to live with it just like we learned to live with Pakistan having one.
Even though, I don't buy the propaganda in that Op-Ed for one second.
It might be half true.. But again, what do you expect?
It all came off as propaganda to me. I don't think any of it is true. We just seem to get off as Americans on telling other people what they can and can't do.

Actually I think they signed the NPT so that sorta trumps thier *right* to build one.
However, that's all "treaty crap" with the UN which is worth about as much as toilet paper and many countries have indeed built nukes in defiance of them.
I don't see Iran doing anything stupid with a nuke. In fact, they may have to learn the hard way like the US and USSR did that bluster can lead to some extremely scary consequences.
Then again, I think we can all agree that nuke proliferation can indeed get scary. At what point would we not want every country in the world with their own nuke? I mean at what point would we finally get serious about NPT?
I don't know. Frankly, I suspect that in the future....perhaps long after I'm gone....someone will pop off a nuke either accidental or otherwise or one will be stolen and used and all of the sudden there will be this come to jesus about all the nukes we've allowed to spawn over the years.
P.S. I think I find the people denying Iran is making nukes to be more out of touch than the ones claiming they will actually use one.
