every nation has a right to nuclear technology.

solution?

International monitoring of all countries with nuclear tech and an international site for uranium enrichment, storage, (whatever is required to make the bomb).

However, the U.S and Russia and probably all the other main nuclear powers will never agree to such a thing.

No, sir, not countries with deluded, mentally ill dictators. Do you really believe that drivel you just posted?

nuclear tech does not mean nuclear weapons

& yes I believe what I posted since the UN agrees with me. Therefore I am right.

w00t, bring on Armageddon! Thank you Saint Bush.

...with the proliferation of the materials and know-how, the easier it will be for the real terrorists to get their greedy little hands on it.

If it's for peaceful purposes, then why don't they buy late-edition CANDU reactors? Its uranium does not have to be enriched and the reactor design makes it harder to produce weapon-grade material as a byproduct. In fact, a CANDU reactor can be used to dispose of weapon-grade material and plutonium.

Yep, probably the last barrier of Saudi Arabia in joining the 21st century - Nuclear energy.

It has been made crystal clear: If you want freedom from a Super Power gone amock and want to pursue what's in your best interest, you possess Nukes. Nukes are the great Equalizer.

Unless they possess ICBMs capable of hitting the US, they would cause themselves more harm than good. US isn't a part of this story, for a change.

Cause apparently you think our borders are somehow secure? 😕
ICBMs are for the super powers, no one needs them to deliver a weapon ? you can drive a truck or plane across the border and NO ONE is going to stop you.

Perhaps I was unclear. I don't think these countries seek nuclear technology because of the US, but indeed, once they get it, it'll be US problem just like it's gonna be anybody else's.

Bush and the Neocons are 1000% to blame

Yeah, because Iran and NK had no nuke programs before he took office either, right.

Under Clinton, inspectors were in NK and nuclear waste was accounted for. Then the "Contract with America" Republicans took over Congress and worked systematically to renege on the US's promises to NK which led to NK eventually kicking out the inspectors.

Aren't you so proud of your party?

Only with the recent advancement of the Iranian nuclear program they feel threatened. Egypt attacked Israel long after it became nuclear and didn't fear for itself.

To add to that, here are some interesting clips:

• Kuwaiti MP Dr. Walid Al-Tabtabai: I Don't Think It Is True that the Iranian Nuclear Project Is for Energy Purposes (Transcript)
• Kuwaiti Journalist Sami Al-Nusf: The Iranian Nuclear Dossier Is More Dangerous than Israel's (Transcript)
• Former Kuwaiti Minister Ahmad Rubei Expresses Fears in Gulf Countries of Iran's Nuclear Program (Transcript)

And finally, some truth:

• Iranian Foreign Minister's Slip of the Tongue: "We Emphasize the Peaceful Nature of Our Nuclear Weapons... I Mean... of Our Nuclear Power Plant..." (Transcript)
