Well if he really means this, then its time to stop ALL nuclear work being done and cooperate 100% with inspections. If he does this I will believe him and will not even think about Iran again or at least until the next ordeal comes up.

The Iranian president I'm sure would like to see Israel destroyed, but he is not an idiot. He knows that Iran is not going to do it, and nor do I think he would ever even try. But he is being threated and has no choice but to prepare.
I sincerely believe that they want nuclear power for energy purposes MAINLY, but still to have nuclear capabilities. I find it odd that countries like Iran are denied even nuclear power when Israel and neocon war-mongers like us (the U.S.) have nukes. The population in Iran is young and progressive and want to follow a more modern culture (similar to the U.S.). What's wrong with that?

I'm not complaining at all that the U.S. has nukes. I just think it's funny how the U.S. doesn't want anyone else to have them.
Iran is generally peaceful and has been for 1000 years. Despite their loathing of Israel (which is common throughout all the middle-east countries) what threat are they?
Israel already has nukes....
The U.S. has been in and led many wars throughout history, have used atomic weapons that killed millions of innocents, and now with the Bush administration have completed the first pre-emptive (aggressive strike) in history based on faulty intelligence.
Why is it that we feel like we are qualified to have nukes and countries like Iran aren't? Do you see my reasoning?
(EDIT) and about Hiroshima please take a look at this article:
