Funny thing to me is you see some so many people concerned over Iran who does not have a complete program and one way or another probably never will when you have a nation not far away from Iran called Pakistan which does have nuclear weapons and is not exactly stable I mean it would not take much to go wrong in Pakistan for the wrong people to gain control of Pakistani nukes.

Dont get me wrong Iran very much is a very serious threat in the region but it seems to me that an rather unstable nation that really does have nukes and really does have groups within that would like to get those weapons into the wrong hands should be what people are concerned about.It is like watching the suspect looking guy down the street but not seeing the guy right behind you about to hit with a baseball bat.

To allow Pakistan and NorthKorea developing nukes was one of the biggest mistakes in modern history. The region and the whole world pays the price especially over Pakistan. And it could become worse.

The point now is not to let Iran become a second Pakistan. Must we allow to make the saame mistake twice? I don'T think so. In case of Iran, the consequences would be even worse, with a nuclear arms race starting in the most irrational region and one of the most unstable regions in the world. Religous hysteria, racism and supremacist attitude - spiced up with nuclear arms and proliferation threats?

No, thanks. The world can do without an Iran. Whether the world can do with an Iran having nuclear arms - is a very uncertain hope. And hope is no political strategy.
