Then the government's actually convinced us that Iran is being outrageously unreasonable for not lying down and accepting that we, the enlightened Christians of the west, can be trusted with nukes, but you Iranians are all a bunch of savages who can't be trusted, and you should just agree with that! Riiiight, that's skillfull diplomacy right there. Last I heard, only twice has one country nuked another, and both times were America. But even with as much or more thumping for war against Iran, as they say to us, it can only be their fault if war breaks out.


Hey, who is it again that has the most colourful history of deposing democratically elected leaders and installing brutal dictators? The US's buddy Batista, before Castro gave him the boot, was so brutal he made Saddam look like the prime minster of Sweden. In fact they did a similar thing in.... oh what was that country.... oh that's right, IRAN (1953). But clearly, the US is the one who's suffered the injustices of Iran's agression over the decades. Iran has no reasonable cause for distrust of the US, of course.
In case you've missed out there are a number of nations, including your own, who do not want Iran to have nuclear arms.

And I think the reasons listed above are enough cause to want to deter a nation, who has definitely voiced it's desires to destroy neighboring nations, away from Nuclear technology.

BTW, nuclear armament is not a US policy but rather a UN policy. You obviously did some research there at the end of your post, but had you done some research on the subject at the beginning of your post then I think you would find you're pointing your finger at the wrong person.

We are just one of the few nations that enforce this UN policy. It's not our fault if the UN typically cannot stand up for themselves.
