The problem here with Iran is not WMD or nuclear missles. They have the right to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes - no one disputes this. The problem here is that surrounding nations MUST have the right to inspect them to make sure they are "up to code", working properly, and to ensure that Iran is doing everything properly so that no accident takes place. The fallout form an "accident" can cause damage world wide.
And Iran won't let anyone inspect them.
If the guy next door to me is doing something in his garage that can screw up my lawn, fuck up the water in my pool and make my drinking water useless, I have the right to know.
What would happened if a nuclear accident was to go off in Iran? What about our troops in Irag? How would it effect Russia, Europe, and crops in North Dakota?
Anyone remember the damage and the scares Europe had when Russia had it's accident?
I think that agencies who inspect such things should have the right to inspect them in Iran. But Iran has this closed door policy. I also don't think it's worth going to war for.
