Now when we covered all world politics,
can YOU answer the question in my signature?

Yes , clearly ALL oil producing nations are leading the world in industrial power.

Pakistan has Nukes and look at how powerful they are .

I do agree that the climate is not right for giving the cpability to Iran though, I think we should find middle ground and help them develop from the already rich products they have. I mean was not the argument for invading iraq the fact that a free society that was USA friendly over there would be stratyegicly important ?

Iran is bigger, Iran had/has more democracy thinking individuals ( not this president, but one can say the same for the USA right now with the current administration in office)

I do not think it is smart to give Iran nukes. ( or any country for that mater )

But I do understand that if we are going to seek allies we should try to help rather than threaten and bomb.

a little respek goes a long way most of the time .... ( Regan did give them the current weapons they have right ? or was it the contras I get so confused )
