Unless you count building over 100 intermediate range (2000km) ballistic missiles, or enriching uranium and getting caught at it.


Meh... could be easily dismissed as 'defensive' measures. Not exactly unwarranted given comments in the media by certain Presidents about some so-called 'Axis of Evil' and all.

Again, 'offensive' 'defensive' is all a matter of opinion.

Hi,

Personally I am horrified by this whole concept. I am a dual national american/ english and have a great deal of respect for americans and the what america is based on. However, every time i visit my american family I am always deeply upset by the basically nationalistic propaganda that everyone subconciously recites. The TV is full of right wing nonsense that even to someone used to english media (which is not that liberal!) seems extreme. one thing i ahve found useful is independent news websites, also check lots of different countries news, it varies significantly.

right, firsly I dont understand what right america has to say what other countires or people may do. America was formed on the ideals of democracy so it may feel that all other countries must want it to. The american way of life may be good to you but how do you know that these 'oppressed people' want 'liberating'. These people are your equals and They may like there own ways of life and your goverment needs to learn to respect that

as for nuclear weapons. America has nuclear weapons and I genuinly believe that of all the countries in the world they are the most likely to use them. I am sure if america was in irans position it would be doing much the same thing and find it outrageous that they were being stopped. In the end, nuclear weapons are there as a threat. i think nuclear countries do not want other nations to develop weapons as they will no longer have an advantage over them. If you nuke a country with a nuke you get nuked back.

I couldn't agree more.

I couldn't agree more.
I guess the other four Permanent Members of the UN Security Council don't agree with you.

I say war and I'm no American.

Tehran is looking for a reason to fight the West.
There Main Enemy in the Region is Israel and they want to free Palestine!
How does Nukes help when you Vaporize most of Gaza and West bank when you take out Israel?
If there weapons become functional Israel will Launch an almost suicidal Air strike or use there own Nukes in a preemptive nuclear strike.

I say war and I'm no American.

Tehran is looking for a reason to fight the West.
There Main Enemy in the Region is Israel and they want to free Palatine! Holy shiite !!!
