Damn man, you couldnt be more clueless about Iran and the future problems it brings for you as an American.
In 1986 Iran began an effort to develop atomic weapons, consulting and contracting with Pakistan's Khan - father of the "Islamic bomb." Go do your research and look up info about Dr.Khan and his connection Iran. Following his advice, Iran also undertook mining uranium for enrichment with Khan-designed centrifuges - the beauty of this approach was that it avoided utilizing uranium that the IAEA knew Iran already had, and thus would avoid scrutiny.
Delivery systems came next. In 1988 China began helping Iran develop missiles, and North Korea then assisted with making longer-range versions.
Iran already aquired and tested Shahab 3 missiles built with the help of Russian scientists which are capable of annihilating Israel and eventually will have the technology capabilities of reaching Europe and America. Just strap a nice nuclear warhead on that sucker.
With a country whose leaders publicly say things such as "Today the slogan 'Death to America' belongs to each and every Iranian" -Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei
or "We should fully equip ourselves both in the offensive and defensive use of chemical, bacteriological, and radiological weapons. From now on, you should make use of the opportunity and perform this task" -Hashemi Rafsanjani 1988
"The use of an atomic bomb against Israel would destroy Israel completely, while against the world of Islam only would cause damages. Such a scenario is not inconcievable"
-Rafsanjani 2001
A country like Iran whose only goal is to annihilate the West and keep mullahs in charge should not be taken lightly Froggy. The only mistake about Iraq was that it wasnt Iran. Go research the July 1999 student uprising and how they assasinated and killed pro-democracy students of universities. They kill and torture anyone opposing them. The only assholes who defend this backwards dispicable country are people who think because its Islamic, its correct. But their just Muslim and not even from Iran. The mullahs are hated in Iran, and we're not talking about Saddam Hussein hate, whose only real opposers seem to be kurds and a handful of Iraqi's. The youth of Iran despise the mullahs, not safe in a country where like 70 percent of the population was born after the 79 revolution. The youth of Iran are fucked up in every sense, they want reforms. Its sad. And Iran with nukes is a very unsafe world for the West. As an American you should be concerned. Iran is far from another Iraq. Iran is dead serious and closer than you even know or the government even allows anyone to know, to mastering the nuclear weapon. WAKE UP already to the threat Islamic extremism poses to the world. And this is coming from someone who voted for Kerry.
