Why is it that the U.S. wants to stop Iran from making the Nuclear Bomb?

Well, for the same reason you wouldn't want to give a CRAZY person a loaded gun! He'd probably USE IT on YOU.

Anyone ever hear of 'imminent domain'? If you lived on a tiny plot of land and developers built sky scrapers all around you, then started threatening you and trying to take your tiny plot of land away, what do you suppose you'd do? You'd FIGHT for your rights, wouldn't you? Israel is a TINY country in the midst of BIG countries and even worse, those big countries generally hate Israel and would LOVE to see her wiped off the map. And people wonder WHY Israel is so quick to defend herself? Get a CLUE!

As for the statement by 'mindcrazy11'â€¦â€¦. I wonderâ€¦..do you live in the US? If so, I invite you to go live in IRAN and you won't have to tolerate living in a democracy any longer.

If Iran has the nuke and the USA someday wants to invade Iran, then Iran may use it on its forces...but the biggest reason is that Iran says it wants to wipe Israel off the map, and a couple nukes could do just that. Iran's president is as crazy as Bush, so maybe if we could get them BOTH out, maybe then the reasonable people could sit down and work out the differences, you know, like civilized people are supposed to do.

Because Iran has already said that it would use the bomb as an offensive weapon to destroy another country. Something that the U.S. has never done.

hmmm.. why don't we want Iran to have nukes... lets see with simple math...

3rd world country with a fanitical religious nutcase at the helm + Nukes = bad forking idea.

Glad I could sum this up for you.

By the way since when has Iran had to protect itself from the US? I distinctly remember several huge earethquakes that the US sent money and such as aid to help them... sounds like they need nukes to protect themselves form that eh? As far as Isreal goes... They wouldn't be attacking anyone if they were left alone.

Iran +Nuclear bomb? UNTHINKABLE!!!

It's a mattar of degree. Although the U.S. and Israel have nukes, they keep them as a defensive measure. If Iran got nukes, they would probably start a world war.

Because Iran harbors terrorists.

I think it is because they well BLOW UP Israel DERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

gorillaguth

Iran supplies terrorist organizations weapons now. Do you think they are not gonna give them a Bomb when they develop one. When the terrorists do get their hands on a nuke provided by that peace loving country"Iran", I hope they detonate it on your house.

mindcrazy11

The question is: Why is it that U.S is allowed to have hundreds of nuclear bombs, but Iran cant have any?....U.S needs to stop being a police to the world. IRan will use the bomb if they are being attacked.

Don't you know that the US ihas the most hypocritical government known to mankind. It's perfectly acceptable for the US to have them but as soon as a country like Iran or North/South Korea wants to get them as well then it a war against terror all of a sudden. Why shouldn't they be scared of the US since the US is the only country dumb enough to actually use it. Yeah way to go.

Since America wants to lead by example so badly go ahead and do it...get rid of your nukes. But no we have 'em and our little sidekick Israel can have 'em b/c we say so end of discussion.

You are not gonna get honest answers to this question so maybe your only satisfaction is going to be this. HYPOCRISY.

Because Ahmadenijad has made it perfectly clear that he intends to use it on Israel and nobody anywhere (excepting the mullahs in Tehran and the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, of course) thinks that this is a good idea.

Wolfpacker

Is this a funny question? Iran is the most dangerous country in the world. They have no conscience - thus their history & supplying weapons to a terrorist groups like Hezbollah.
I guess you want al Queda to have one too! Are you sick or dumb?

Charlooch

I think the more important question is...because of US hegemony, are nations running to create nuclear bombs?

sam

It is an unfortunate, and somewhat unfair, status quo that must be maintained, despite its deficiencies. It is important for the US and Russia to commit to reducing their stockpile of nukes as well, so they do not look hypocritical, but it is important to halt both vertical and horizontal proliferation, as any change in this system could set off a chain reaction that would lead to nuclear war.

What happens if Shiite Iran gets nuclear weapons? Then Israel will have to greatly increase their stockpile, as will India. Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt would also likely feel compelled to obtain nukes for their protection. Before we know it, Eastern European countries will be committed to weapons programs, as will wealthier African and Pacific Island countries.

When so many countries have nukes, it's only a matter of time before someone uses them and we end up with a massive war. It is certainly a difficult situation for the US and the world, and the apparent hypocrisy is not lost on Americans. But it is the best solution in an area of warfare where there are no good solutions.

shomechely

because Iran has threatened to wipe one of our allies (Israel) off the map.

When has the US - or Israel for that matter - threatened to wipe Iran off the face of the earth? Other than the nuke and the fact that they fund terrorists, we don't have any problems with Iran that I'm aware of.

popeye

It not about the bomb. That is an excuse to perhaps bomb Iran. Korea and China have the Bomb. No talk about bombing them. It is about oil.

markm

Isreal is run by civilized leaders who can be reasoned while Iran is run by a man who has called for the extermination of Isreal.

Iran is a state sponsor of Terrorism that is reason enough for them to do everything in their power to stop them from being able to aquire this type of power.

bearsinlove69

sanjana
