I am tired of this "if they have oil why do they want nuclear energy?" argument, isn't it very obvious?
Sell the oil to idiots that drive 8mpg SUVs in the West and make cleaner energy for themselves. As someone said they have good Uranium resourses. Why do they want to produce their own fuel? Again obvious, so they do not have to PAY for it from another country, sensible huh. They have also said that they think that within 20 years there will likely be a large world need for supply of nuclear fuel, they can then sell it to the West, sensible huh. They have agreed to give spent fuel to Russia, good idea huh.
Some people are either unaware of facts, know little of Iran, are paranoid or just like the thought of killing.

I do not think Jews are better than Iranians -
I believe Jews are better than no-one.
Jews are special in my view only because they are an endangered species.
Just because I am a Zionist - Zionism is the concept of a Jewish right for a homeland in Israel - Our historic land.
As fighting flared up in the western region of Ivory Coast America has blocked the setting up of a United Nations humanitarian and military mission to the country.
The move is directed against France, which had drafted a resolution to present to a UN Security Council debate.
Access to water and sanitation and water resource management are the most fundamental and urgent issues the World Summit for Sustainable Development has to tackle. One fifth of the world's population live without safe drinking water and nearly half of the world lack adequate sanitation. By 2025 half the world's population will be suffering from water shortages causing massive implications for global food security.
Yet despite the current and looming crisis governments indicated at World Summit Prep Com IV that they are not prepared to take action. In particular a group of countries led by the USA are blocking any firm commitments being made...

Hmm that's too bad. I always thought Shabaat was pretty special, but if you wan't to consider yourself an endangered species that's pretty bad.
Do you know what that's called? Victimization. Many of the African American community found themself insuch an arguement around the turn of the 1970's after federally funded programs to integrate them into society had come into full effect. When failure on their side happened they cried Victimization. It is still a social pattern and problem in the community.
You are saying that after 2000 years of Survival as a tribe, evolving into a civilization and culture that you are now endangered as a species? Sorry bud, we are the same species. If you think Jews are a different 'Species' you must have some superiority issues with your vicimization issues, but I'm sure you unintentionally put that 'secies' word in there right?
When you speak to me, you don't sound like Jews are equal to Arabs, you sound like Jews are different than Arabs (rightly so) however different in a 'good' way which would insinuate the 'other' is 'bad'.
Zionism is not mere Nationalism and I think we both understand this and don't really have to pursue a philosophical discussion on the origins and foundation of Zionism nore the political and cultural undertones that allowed it to incubate and manifest itself throughout the world.
I also think this....
The United States continually stands in the way of world peace and will not stand in the way of world war.
The United States has shown with continuity that it is in no way interested in the health of this planet, its
own citizens or the world.
The U.S. has blocked Humanitarian and Military assistance from the U.N., (1) It
has blocked legislature on the regulation of Environment laws (2) nationally and internationally the latest
of these the Kyoto Accord. With the loosening of regulations on logging companies and opening up Alaska
for oil drilling, the polices of the USA show the rape of a continent and planet. The U.S. has blocked
the development of the third world, health of the planet, and care of it's own citizens.
But it will not block
Israel from Bombing Iran.

My guess is, you leave Iran alone, and they couldn't give two hoots what happens in the US.

If this scares you, I suggest you go hide in a deep cave. When Isreal strikes Iran, this will be the outcome.

The Israeli chief of staff issued a veiled warning today to Iran over its pursuit of a controversial nuclear program.
"Israel has always found the means to respond to threats ... I hope that pressure being put on Iran will be effective," General Moshe Yaalon was quoted as saying on army radio when asked about the Islamic republic's nuclear program.

Have Israeli forces ever struck a nuclear site before. I recall hearing recently that they might have...
Israeli aircraft attacked and destroyed an Iraqi nuclear installation at Osirak, outside Baghdad, in 1981.
The Israelis have bombed a French-built nuclear plant near Iraq's capital, Baghdad, saying they believed it was designed to make nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.
It is the world's first air strike against a nuclear plant.
With remarkable precision, an undisclosed number of F-15 bombers and F-16 fighters destroyed the Osirak reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad, on the orders of Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
