Iran has just as much "right" to have nuclear weapons as any other nation. What the origin of such rights is I don't know. But in any case, sure, who is to say nation A can have them but nation B cannot.

Whether or not the IAEA, the UN, or Team America World police has the right to stop them is another story. The rhetoric is heating up though and it is just a matter of time until action is taken to prevent Iran from making nukes. I can't think of an action though that does anything more than to delay their progress. As long as Iran does not see that having nukes is not in their best interest, this issue will never be truly resolved.

Of course this is all based upon whether or not we believe that Iran is really trying to build nuclear weapons. Are we naive to think that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only? Or are we naive to believe "intelligence" assessments which say that their equipment is for enriching uranium to weapons grade material?

How do we know that this isn't an Iraq-esque WMD situation all over again?

Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice, shame on me.
