No, this is your opinion, please state this before you make wild alegations like that.
Also can you see the reasons WHY they want to do this?
well they have stated their goal to destroy israel publicly many times and groups they support like hamas have stated it as their goal too.
no wild allegations, its fact.
We will not produce nuclear weapons because we are against them

All I can say is that given the circumstances in which US invaded Iraq, other countries as sovereign countries will have the right of protecting themselves from anything that will harm their citizens because the well being of the citizens of any country falls under their governments.
We will defend ourself here in American from any aggressor and so any other sovereign country in the world.
It is not about taking sides and calling Iran and any other country evil but it's about the rights of any nation to protect their people.
I will be very trouble of the new turn of events now with Iran and NK.
Instead of making these countries intimidated they are actually provoking the US.

Marge, most people tend to over look that the fact that on May 17, 1987, IRAQ used a French Mirage F-1 to launch two Exocet anti-ship missiles that struck the USS Stark before the Gulf War, killing over 40 American sailors. THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR, I repeat. THAT WAS AN ACT OF WAR which pretty much negates your arguement we attacked a soverign nation. We attacked a nation WHO DECLARED WAR on the USA in 1987. Even our neighbours to the North said, "The 1987 attack on the USS Stark was DELIBERATE.

The U.S. government is the aggressor here, not Iran.

Please, in your best twisted interpretation, enlighten us as to how the US is the "aggressor" when applied to Iran, since of course the topic is dealing with Iran, sweatmonicaIdo.

Do you pay attention to current events? If so, you will realize Iran's "aggression" is a response to Bush and Friends..

Apparently you do not either?
Your mentionings relay time periods that do not deal with "Bush and Friends". I do not recall Bush being president during those times, but apparently you do?

NK is prepared for an assault and has been for years. I don't know about their rocket technology but either way if 5 nukes got through our screen it would mean grand chaos falling on New York, Detroit or California.
Iran's destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 was a response to the the U.S.S. Vincennes destroying Iran Air Flight 655 and killing 291 people. Accidental is not an excuse. If Iran Air Flight 644 crashed into the WTC and killed 3,000 people, you would not take "it was an accident" as an excuse. You'd TRY to bomb them to a beautiful oblivion.
In addition to performing duties as the Battle Group Anti-Air Warfare Commander during her Western Pacific Deployments, Vincennes has been awarded the Navy Meritorious Unit Citation, the Battle "E" three times, the Combat Action Ribbon, the National Defense Medal, and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon with four stars.
