1) Do you believe Iran's claim that it is only pursuing nuclear energy?
2) In your view, are Iran entitled to develop a nuclear weapons program?
3) Would you be willing to live with a nuclear-armed Iran? ( Hans Blix says he would)
If diplomacy and sanctions fail, what - if anything - should the rest of the world do about it? |
No, I don't believe they're only pursuing it for energy. Of course that's not based on any kind of decisive fact, but as far as I can tell, most of the signs are pointing that way.
Are they "entitled" to developing them? I guess technically, I'd have to agree with bas_I_am on this, although I personally think it would be best if the entire planet simply eradicated all nuclear weapons.
And I would be extremely uncomfortable with a nuclear armed Iran. Any country that has expressed a desire to wipe another off the face of the planet is obviously serious cause for concern.
And what should the world do about it? I just don't freakin' know.
