Of Course, Iran working towards Nuclear weapons.

A Nuclear Weapon is a defensive weapon.
Ever notice that North Korea and Pakistan can resist the United States,,, What do they have in common?
They are both Nuclear Powers.
It is simple bigotry that Iran is not being allowed to develop atomic weapons. Why shouldn’t an Islamic hereditary theocracy be allowed to build I.C.B.M.s?
A nuclear middle-east will be a peaceful middle-east because of Mutually assured destruction. Mutually assured destruction kept the peace between the United States and the Soviet Union for decades.
Atomic bombs are defensive weapons because they make victory impossible for anyone.
Nuclear proliferation is going to happen sooner or later any way.
Technology always spreads. Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, but now everyone has it. Even the most isolated illiterate tribesman carrys an assualt rifle when he goes to war.
In the future, every Mullah, Latin American Generalismo, and African Warlord will have the ability to hurl nuclear weapons at one another. But, they will also be threatened with the same thing coming back at them. War shall become obsolete and peace shall prevail.
Support Iran, Support Nuclear Proliferation, Support World Peace.

If Mr,Nader can explain how Nuremberg Principles Allow military personnel to refuse orders that are illegal
such as War of aggression.I read that to be true else where,however,then it’s believed by me it in failure of refusal and proven illegal than Bush and whom he conspired with should be held
accountable for the mistake,crimes they made intentionally.Therefore I believe Bush can’t lawfully order anybody to attack Iran.Only illegally to try.
