TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday rejected a U.N. Security Council resolution that would give Iran until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment.

Instead, Ahmadinejad insisted Tehran would pursue its nuclear program.

“My words are the words of the Iranian nation. Throughout Iran, there is one slogan: ‘The Iranian nation considers the peaceful use of nuclear fuel production technology its right,”’ Ahmadinejad said.

they have every right to continue uranium enrichment to pursue a means of nuclear energy, there is nothing wrong with that, legally and morally.

and lets go as far as to say they ARE in fact developing nukes. Why shouldn't Iran be able to have nuclear weapons. because its being controlled by "terrorists". what the fuck is the United States?? by defenition the US has done more things that would label them a terrorist nation in a WEEK than iran has in YEARS. If Nukes are the only way we will get the respect and power we deserve then so be it. Our culture dates back to 500 BC, American history is last week compared to ours. We deserve to be a world superpower just as much and if not more than the rest of them. Why sit and let ol dubya abuse his power in our great nation instead of protect ourselves with the only thing that seems to mean anything to him. north korea might as well have a flashing sign on its flag that says "WE HAVE NUKES" and the US wont even address them. personally i think our title as a superpower is long overdue.

Bahri-kahla Ahmadinejad

translation: good job ahmadinejad.

i dont agree with my country's government on many things, but i agree with the people and i agree with them being protected from this terrorist threat(the american government) by any means necessary.

For a culture that's been around since 500 b.c. you'd think they'd be much further along the technology loop. If they aint got a "Bomb" by now...they aint gettin one...simple as that. I don't agree with a lot my country does either. There are times I am glad Dubya is a trigger happy cowboy....this is one of them.

 

[[ n a v ]]

we are just as long in the "technological loop" as anybody. its interesting to see how people like you feel we are technological unadvanced, simply because we dont have the same extreme means to kill other people as america.
and who says iran dont have one? u think just cuz they say its still in development that it really is? u believe everything people tell u, everything u see on American news. i feel sorry for u if u do. and what if the day comes when the muslim countries form a unified force. dont forget pakistan has one too.

and please elaborate, why are u happy ur terrorist president is a trigger happy cowboy? why is this one of those times?? im really curious.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Yeah I wouldn't judge countries technological advancement based on having a nuke or not. Only a small handful of countries have nukes (US, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, India, UK, France, China, & N. Korea) out of a total of approximately 240 countries.

To say if they don't have a bomb by now means they won’t in the future is ridiculous. Remember that India, Pakistan and N. Korea have only recently (10-20 years or so) developed successful nukes.

And I have no idea how you can be happy about having Dubya as "a trigger happy cowboy." You want a war in Iran?

I think in 98 both India and Pakistan became nuke powers.

What I am worried about is, in 10 years when and 'IF' these countries including NK, have a power struggle and if their ecconomy collapses. I am not an ecconomist, but any power shift in pakistan right now isn't what we need, we don't need india and pakistan on the brink again. We don't need another problem state with agendas and nukes.

Just imagine this for a second..

You are the leader of one of those countries..

What would happen if..

1: Your economy is going to the shitter, would you sell a nuke or two?

2: Your country is being overrun/ and or taken out nice n slowly from superior air forces and your power is going to vanish, would you release a nuke or two?

3: Your country gets nuked from it's neighbour, would you fight back with a nuke?


hmm..

Maybe I am wrong about Iran's technology. It's just that I don't hear about anything being a brainchild of Iran. As far as them having a "bomb" they could have one, they should, seeing they got a gang of nuclear facilities that are known and "dual use" spots that have some of the same capabilities. Not to mention they had the help of Abdul Qadeer Khan(speaking of pakistan)
http://www.lycoszone.com/info/abdul-qadeer-khan.html
So if they don't have one...they are pretty damn close. And no...I don't believe everything that is fed to me...because everything isn't always what it seems to be. Since things are the way they are...for whatever reason, there is outright hatred for the United States. NEWSFLASH! I LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES. Like I said before , I don't agree with much this country does...but hey...it's my country and I gotta live here. So if they gotta bomb Iran or anyone else who gotta problem to protect what little rights I do have...then I'm all for it.

and don't take it personal!

hmm how about ALGEBRA?
u should really educate urself before making such big assumptions.

So if they gotta bomb Iran or anyone else who gotta problem to protect what little rights I do have...then I'm all for it.

i almost cant respond to this its so ignorant.
do u honestly believe that the US is bombing middle eastern countries because they THREATEN YOUR RIGHTS as a US citizen???
please enlighten me, what has Iran done to threaten your civil liberties. Your own government has done more to rob you of your rights than any country could ever dream to do. im not taking it personal. i just want you to realize theyre propoganda is working on you.
I live here too. I was born and raised here. that does not mean i should just sit back on my lazy boy, drinking a bear and scratching my nuts while they kill women and children for their monetary gain, and believe its to "protect my freedom" just cuz some hillbilly puppet president tells me so on the boob tube.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Actually, it is a US "claim" that Dr. Khan sold blueprints to Iran. Both Pakistan and Iran deny any of it.

Any country should have the right to Nuclear Energy. Making WMD's out of it is another story, but a country which already has them shouldn't be in the position to tell the next that they cannot.

We also invented pants. No one wore traditional pants before the Persian Empire. As well as rap. Old persian plays, from the 1800's were rapped. My grandfather has tapes from the 20's, and their drama plays were rapped.

So thank Iran because there would be no Siccness today!!!
Well, a little extreme, but you get the point...

Homie, the japanese were using rhyme patterns in kabuki plays in the 16 and 1700's. Afrikan slaves were using rhymes ever since they created old negro spirituals, and many afrikan tribes had folklore, songs and customs that were based around rhymes. Get the hell out of here with that shit. I am not saying persians didn't create things or contribute to teh wold (because that is obviously not the truth) but to say they invented rap or where the first one to rap plays is INSANITY

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Well, that is what I was taught.
If you are correct, thank you for shedding some light.
Regardless, it gets me upset when people say rap came from the bronx in the 1960's

I didn't make an assumption...I said...I haven't heard anything...if what you say about Algebra is true...then...props to em for that. About everything else? When the shit hits the fan...EVERYONE wants their side to win. It's kinda like that one homie that keeps messin up...you know he wrong...but you still gone ride wit em ...regardless.

 

[swoop187]

Ill bet if Iran had a nuke they would use it with in a year. If they get nukes they are gong to point it in every countries face and damand crazy shit. Anyone who thinks that Iran should be able to have nukes is insane. If they have nukes then every terrorist organization that has close ties to the Iranian government will have nukes.

 

[[ n a v ]]

im sure the rest of the world felt the same way about the United States.
and why not.

look at the US's rap sheet and compare it to any other middle eastern country. ESPECCIALY iran. While Bush was labeling iran a member of "The Axis of Evil", Iranian soccer players used their half time to publicly pray for the lives that were lost in the twin towers. Iran has a level of power that is threatening to this country, and because of that the United States government has imbedded a sense of fear in the citizens' minds. Im not saying they're saints, im not even saying their not nuts, but to assume theyd be any less strategic with a nuke than the US would be is ignorant and a product of elaborate propoganda.

The EXACT same thing was said about Iraq before the invasion for alleged WMD's and liberation. What makes you think Iran is going to point nukes at every country and demand "crazy shit"? Iran already has bragaining power because of opec membership and its ability to raise oil prices. With that being said, why would it need nukes to make demands?
