SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell expressed hope Wednesday for a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to Iran's nuclear row.

"I think we can handle that one diplomatically," Powell said in a keynote speech at a Seoul forum, saying that Tehran appeared determined to move toward having a nuclear program and perhaps nuclear weapons. He did not elaborate.

His comments came a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a veiled warning against any attack on Iran as he began the first visit by a Kremlin leader to Tehran in six decades.

Many Iranians fear that the U.S. could attack their country over the West's suspicions that the Iranians are secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons.

2. It could very easily be handled diplomatically, however thats not...

at all what Bush and Cheney want to happen... They are war mongers and that will keep them in control if they can start a war with Iran.

3. we could have handled the other ones diplomatically as well, Colin

but we didn't, in large part, thanks to you.

4. Too bad you squandered your good name to promote the Iraq war Colon.

You actually could have done something good for your country if you hadn't been *'s servant.

6. It can be handled diplomatically.

And if that doesn't work, we'll use Saddam's mobile biological weapons labs to teach them a lesson. Right, Colin?

their supposed nukular weapons. Actually said Iran is leading us to WWIII.:banghead:
