I believe the UN had a popular vote to allow Iran to complete Nuclear 'ENERGY' research for reasons of supplying the country with nuclear power.
Bush and Co. disagree with this and have deemed Iran a "threat" if they are allowed to proceed on this course. They claim that Iran is hiding WMD reasearch with this Energy reasearch ploy.
Given the sources...beit Bush and Co. or Ahmadinejad and his country, as well as the whack muslim extremists...I don't know who to believe.
I do believe the muslim extremists pose a real threat to our country and our lifestyle. But, I don't believe everything Bush and Co. are throwing at us is 100% honest and true...maybe not even 50%.
Does Iran pose a threat to Israel? Likely. Does Iran pose a threat to the United States? Maybe. Do I feel threatened enough to justify a military attack on Iran? Not at this time.
Legalities are global, local, federal, international. Many laws here, there, everywhere conflict with laws elsewhere.
At this point, what Iran is doing IS legal considering our laws, justice system and rules of engagement.
I was listening to Glenn Beck today. I agree with alot of what he says...but something got to me today. He had a guest talking about Iran. He agreed with this guest when the guest said (paraphrasing): "If we don't do something about Iran now, they may have a nuclear bomb in 10 years."
Well, hell...someone MIGHT kill someone in 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 years...does that mean we have the right to arrest and prosecute them NOW? I DON'T THINK SO? What was that movie with Tom Cruise where they had the 3 chicks who could see a possible future, and the justice system based their arrests and prosecutions upon these premenitions? It is kind of like that, and it is just wrong, in my opinion.
