Iran seems to be determined to continue with it's development of nuclear weapons. They realize that there is a threat to them, and rather then adhere to UN resolutions and the AIEA, then have decided to defend their illeagal activities.
Iran will be come a nuclear nation, one way or another.

Iran is not prohibited from enrichment under its obligations to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. But for months it has faced international pressure to suspend such activities as a good-faith gesture.

LOL....as long as that double standard continues, how can we ever expect peace?

Are they doing anything illegal? They have submitted to IAEA inspections and they have IAEA cameras in their facilities.
They're doing a lot better than Israel which has never allowed any inspections at all as far as I'm aware.

They have voluntarily suspended enrichment of Uranium even though they are not obliged to do so.

Racist opinions aside, how would your version of peace become a reality? What would need to happen?
Iranian leaders are worried: worried by the American presence at their gates, in the east and west; worried by the invasion of Iraq �with so little popular resistance;� worried by the speedy toppling of the Baghdad regime; worried by the marginalization of the UN; worried by the total disillusion of the Iranian people, which, since the start of the Iraqi crisis, has manifested itself in the fierce pro-Americanism of the population... but worried most of all by the vox populi, which is calling for �a regime change with the help of the American marines.�
TEHRAN, Iran
Finally, I've found a pro-American country.
Everywhere I've gone in Iran, with one exception, people have been exceptionally friendly and fulsome in their praise for the United States, and often for President Bush as well. Even when I was detained a couple of days ago in the city of Isfahan for asking a group of young people whether they thought the Islamic revolution had been a mistake (they did), the police were courteous and let me go after an apology.
They apologized; I didn't.
On my first day in Tehran, I dropped by the "Den of Spies," as the old U.S. Embassy is now called. It's covered with ferocious murals denouncing America as the "Great Satan" and the "archvillain of nations" and showing the Statue of Liberty as a skull (tour the "Den of Spies" here).
Then I stopped to chat with one of the Revolutionary Guards now based in the complex. He was a young man who quickly confessed that his favorite movie is "Titanic." "If I could manage it, I'd go to America tomorrow," he said wistfully.
He paused and added, "To hell with the mullahs."

No radical Muslim countries huh? and just a racist opinion? I guess that's why there is an ongoing genocide in Sudan by radical Islamists...according to you it's only my opinion that non-muslim blacks are being systematically killed and made homeless by Arab militias who are backed by their government...
This is happening in other African nations, it also happened in Rwanda.... all this is just my racist opinion?...

The situation in Darfur is not about non-Muslims being killed.
It's non-Arabs being killed by Arabs.
They're both Muslims.
The Rwanda genocide was not about Muslims.
Rwanda is a Christian nation.
It's known as the most Christian nation in Africa with about 90% of it's population identifying itself as Christian. link

Interesting that you automatically assumed it must have been Muslims doing the slaughtering in Rwanda.

It's a lose/lose situation. If the US and Isreal allow Iran to build nuclear weapons, who's to say they won't "lose" the nukes to terrorists?
When it comes to the war on terror, it's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Who says that its ok for israel and US to have nukes and other countries not too. Not that im in favour of preliferation of nukes but i still think its a rather poor reason to attack a country because its trying to get something u already have. The word 'allow' is more annoying as it deems that you are in charge/control of something.
