By all means, allow me;

Iran is a growing country that is quickly moving towards becoming a first world nation. This growth means that their energy demands are also growing, thus they are consuming more and more of their oil. Naturally since they are using more oil themselves, they have less oil for export. They are dependent on their oil exports for their growth... so they are caught in a bit of a catch 22. It's speculated that Iran is already at peak production, so they can't simply produce more oil.

By investing in nuclear power, they can offset their energy demands. This would allow them to grown AND continue to export oil. There's also nothing new or shocking about any of this... their nuclear program has been on-going since the mid 70s! The only reason it's a big deal now is it's a convenient excuse for the US to stomp them down before they can become a competing first world nation.

first thats crazy no way would you wipe there army out or shatter there will to fight chances are you will make there morale high iran is not iraq alot more advanced

Their military hardware is as good as destroyed in the firs 48 hours. Iran is no more prepared for the american onslaught then iraq was.

Good old Iran, havnt they been threatening to annihalate the US since the seventies

Please leave the namecalling and personal attacks at the door.

Carry on.

No, actually.
That's what the propagandists want you to believe, but it's not the truth.

Now thats funny!
What makes you think such a ludicrous thought? Numbers mean nothing since you can only transport so many at one time.

Link please to back up your words.

Iran's nuclear program has been a secret for over 20 years. Thats not exactly confidence inspiring to other countries when they want to know what their real intention is. Why keep it quiet for so long? That and inflammatory remarks by the regime itself prove that they are not responsible enough to have nuclear "energy". They are just plain STUPID.

They probably could have had successful nuclear program and ultimately a bomb if they had just played their cards right but their leadership is so crass, belicose and just plain dumb that now they are going to have their program blown to smitherines and the poor people of that country will pay for it. Their gov't has been spending all this money trying to develop a technology that will never bear fruit and that money could have been spent on bettering the lives of their people. The Mullahs are IDIOTS.

Well I checked your article out and it's nice to see that atleast someone else On ATS can see through all the propaganda and lies and see the truth. Very insightful and well written.

Some of what you say in your post is accurate, however a lot of it is biased heavily to fit your perceived views. But good for you, at least you care enough to take the time and try to express your views.
