24. Well we should be making sure they don't get erasers then....

No ahem... Here in the US we actually have politicians advocating striking Iran. Israel is doing it too. There are people in the US government talking seriously about attacking Iran. And considering our track record with Iran's neighbors, it's not exactly far fetched. So I'm not following why we're allowed to discuss taking out countries and still have nuclear weapons, but Iran is totally not allowed to.


I'd still rather Iran not have nuclear weapons, but I don't think we hold any moral high ground here. And to be perfectly honest, I can't blame them for wanting to develop nuclear weapons. Put yourself in their shoes.. Although, this is even assuming they truly are developing nuclear weapons. Aren't several groups saying they scraped most of their nuclear weapons programs? I know the US and some others are saying that's not the case, but it's difficult to take them at their word considering the whole Iraq fiasco.
