The Iranians are quite entitled to defend itself and to develop nuclear weapons if it so chooses.
Given the military/imperialist ambition of the USA and it's proxy Israel, the need to defend itself is essential.
Irans vast reserves of oil would make it a target for US imperialist tendencies.

It might help the American posters here to familiarise itself with their countries meddling in the internal affairs of Iran.
On the election of Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh in 1951, the USA decided to stage a coup d'etat.
This was the first stage in a series of US meddling in the internal affairs of Iran.
Include the unequivocal support by all US administrations from 1953-1979 for the Shah of Iran : and you can fully understand why Iran has issues with the USA.

All you lefties....remember the caniption you had when Bush said this:


Quote:

'Axis of Evil' Rhetoric Said to Heighten Dangers
Many foreign policy observers think Bush's phrasing, although effective on the home front, caused serious damage abroad
by Maura Reynolds
WASHINGTON -- It was a catchy phrase. Perhaps too catchy. A year after President Bush used the State of the Union address to declare Iraq, Iran and North Korea an "axis of evil," the phrase has taken on a life of its own. With this year's address scheduled for Jan. 28 and the U.S. on the cusp of war with Iraq, the legacy of the "axis of evil" weighs heavily on the speechwriters and policy-makers hard at work on Bush's speech.
Bush's 'Axis of Evil' Rhetoric Said to Heighten Dangers
Well guess what.........

Mental midgets make this argument. If you haven't notice the world is condemning Iran not just the US. Your disdain for the US is disgusting. If it wasn't for the US you'd be part of the Third Reich.

I voted no because it would mean that we would get involved and I don't think we should be.

I agree with you. The US seems to have an eternal itch for causing trouble in many cases. If our leaders don't have an enemy, they will be all too happy to manufacture one. I think they could villify the Swiss if they wanted to. Within days, the neocon sheeple would hate Switzerland.

You're the mental midget here, amigo.

The world is attempting to engage Iran in negotiations : only you and a few other rightwing chair sitters are waffling on about attacking Iran.

And as for the Third Reich jibe.
Your lot only gave up profiterring from WW2 - when the japs dragged you in to the war.

And we thank the Russians - not your lot.

What the USA did then and does now are wholly different. The USA was not any different than any other nation on Earth- it seeks to influence others to advance its own interest. Sometimes it uses diplomacy and sometimes it uses guns. And Russia, China and 100 other nations do the same thing. We had alot of interest in Iran including the huge Bell Helicopter Company as well as the oil. That is why we installed a friendly government. And if we had not, the Soviet empire would have. Is Iran any better off being ran by religious nutcases Mullahs and Ayatollahs? I don't think so. I am not trying to excuse the crimes of the Shah or our involement with him but we need to keep things in proper perspective.

Oh really the US has an itch huh? What about all the other nations that do NOT want Iran to have a this capability?

You don't think a nuclear terrorist state existing involves us?

We didn't seem to care about that in the case of Pakistan or North Korea.

Why are we jumping all over Iran? Hmmmmm

It's not too complicated to see what the true motives are.
