So, Iran has finally reached the penultimate stage to nuclear weaponary capability.
Maybe I’m an idiot, but both India and Pakistan acquired nuclear capabilities, much to US’s unhappiness but the Americans were silenced after that. It’s almost a clear case of hypocrisy to me - Both India and Pakistan are America’s allies. So, non-American allies don’t have the right to acquire N-weapons? And, in my opinion, Pakistan may well be behind Iran on the measure of democracy. General Pervez Musharraf is still the head of government after his successful military coup in 1999.
I’m not saying that Iran should have N-weapons. I’m just saying that the US, still being the remaining superpower (not for long), should perhaps wield its power more responsibly and fairly. I know that this is asking for too much, but, c’mon, the world is not blind - we can see your inadequacy.
Although we can’t do much to Bush’s behaviour and there’s much to love about America than to dislike, this incident is going to be yet another convincing story Al-Qaeda, and its small fragmented terrorist cells scattered all over the world, are going to capitalise upon.
There’s nothing wrong in stopping a rogue nation from acquiring N-capabilities, but do it the right way. Convince the world that Iran is a case worth stopping. If the US can’t, then Iran is probably not worth pursuing. Achieve your goals in other ways, like perhaps introducing your businesses into Iran and showing them respect, while slowly changing the people’s mind about you. That’s how democracy should work, right?
You, the US, can bomb the country to bits, you can even head their government but you won’t be able to convince the people, or the world that it was fair. Don’t forget the fact that you, the US, orchestrated Operation Ajax in 1953 to overthrow a democratically elected government, in the name of oil.
The world doesn’t need another North Korea, “Vietnam”, Afghanistan or Iraq. The US has enough troubles itself.
And, the world, hates to dislike the US, because the ideals the US and her people embraces stood for so much.

I think US doesn’t need to prove that Iran is a case worth stopping, because:
[1] Current Iran President is from Shite Hardline groups and is a Extremist. At the same time, Iran is main sponsor of Extremists Hezbollah and Hamas. So, it won’t do any good to the world, if Iran owns Nuclear weapons. Parkistan, India, China, France, US, UK can own Nuclear weapons becuase they could be assumed positively that they are not harmful to the world and will be responsible in using nuclear weapons. But, you can’t let the kind of people, who kills the thousands of people without a sound reason, own nuclear weapons. I am not against killing people..but i do believe that we need a good reason to do so…
[2] Another problem is Balance of Power between Shite and Sunni in the gulf and middle east region. These two groups are headed by Iran and Saudi respectively and if either of them owns Nuclear weapon, it will trigger arms race among them and proxy war in the gulf and middle east, especially it will makes Iraq and Lebanon situation worse. If US and EU can’t control Iran and Shite groups, it will make Saudi and Sunnis groups feel insecure. As a consequences, it will make moderate Sunnis to collaborate with hardline/extremists Sunnis groups such as Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhoods, Islamic Jihads. (You can refer to the recent threats from Saudi- Saudi officials said that if US cannot control Iraq situation and pull out from Iraq, they will support/work with Sunni Insurgents in Iraq.) All these things will not do any good to the rest of the world.
It is just my opinion.
