Didn't the US have an offer on the table at one point to do the same thing? Allow Iran to operate nuclear plants but they must return all used fuel back to the US?Originally posted by: SuperTool

Iran has agreed to return used nuclear fuel back to Russia. So sky is not falling. The less oil Iran uses to generate domestic electricity, the more oil they have to sell, and the lower the oil prices become. Also, hundreds of thousands of Russian nuclear industry workers will have jobs and be able to feed their families. Moving from fossil fuels to nuclear power is a good thing, IMO.

no - the countries in that region need to do what iran and syria have done - band together...form a union (like the EU or USSR)...and rise up against the outsiders (the US)

No, many, including myself said we needed to invade SA first. That is the true home of Bin Laden and Terrorism. Also has a lot more Oil than Iraq.

In addition, the I.A.E.A. said, Iran has turned down requests for further visits to a military base that the United States has identified as a possible nuclear research site, and it has flatly refused to provide information on so-called dual use technology that the I.A.E.A. has determined could be useful for uranium enrichment or conversion.

Here's the scenario that would make sense:
1: "Mr. President! We know Usama is in Region-X, but he's got a lot of zealots with him and a ground attack would cost a lot of American soldiers lives to find him, and even then it's a maybe due to the terrain and our unfamiliarity with the area!"
2. "Alright, Neutron bomb the region and quarantine it until the radiation blows over."
Simple, to the point, and it provides inescapable death for Usama and his most trusted lieutenants/advisors/guards/soldiers. We've already let him get away once, we should take a much tougher position next time we think we have him cornered.

Are you so certain about everything? Or just WMDs?
I'm against the WTO as a whole, to be honest. But, if it's a carrot that prevents Iran from developing nuclear weapons, then I suppose I'm for it.Originally posted by: ntdz
are you against or for that? I'm just curious.Originally posted by: conjur

I think a peaceful solution is the best with Iran...military action on a country whose population is actually somewhat pro American would be idiotic.
