anyone have any Ideas?

Are they building the bomb because they are afraid that the USA is going to cross the border and pay them a visit?

I don't think that they are building nuclear weapons to protect them selves in case they get attcked.

And acouple of nukes ain't gonna make Iran a superpower, and it won't make it more powerful, it will just waste tons of cash. so instead of wasting your money on nukes, try using it for good and peacful reasons, like improving the lives of your people and improving medical equpment (wich is very expensive)!

ROFL!
Iran wants nukes for several reasons, and the fear of invasion has nothing to do with it.
The fact of the matter is that nukes will be a bonus for Iran, because Iran will need advanced nuclear technology for energy production, and the fact that Iran will get nuclear weapons will be an extra advantage.
Iran needs nukes because it has big plans to become a world power, as Iran’s leaders have said many times in public.
Iran also needs nukes to counter the Nukes of Israel.
Iran will also need nukes to counter the WMD of the west, who gave Saddam all the WMD he wanted including his nuclear requirements. Its funny the people who are today telling us to get rid of our WMD are the very same people who were giving WMD to the Iraqis to kill us with en mass; maybe they are rightly scared that we have a grudge to settle with them!

Also, isn’t it funny how all of our enemies are so concerned for the welfare of the Iranian people!! The same people who call for the bombing of Iran are the ones who say that Iran should pay more attention to its health care and education systems, and not weapons to defend itself with!
Well, those people don't know that Iran’s health care system is probably the best in the Middle East, and is very high quality, and available to all; even the poor segments of the society get free medical care, and Iran’s education system is also free for all, with literacy rates of over 90%.
Also, some of the most advanced medical care that Iran gives to its patients are derived from nuclear technology. And working on nuclear technology and weapons at home strengthens Iran’s economy and provides jobs; all good things for the people of Iran!

why does Israel need nukes? In fact, why does it need so many??

The Israeli leaders were insane to develop nuclear weapons. It's only going to escalate the conflict and it's only a matter of time before Iran gets them as well. You think you made yourself safer by building nukes? Guess again.

E Tan, E Epi Tas!

Man Lndi U R so pathetic.
Israel Probably have nuc from the late 60, no real connection to Iran.

No Virgins - No Terror !©

Dan, lets pretend for a moment that you are a thinking adult. I know thats a stretch, but lets give it a go.

All those nukes won't matter a hill of beans when Iran gets even a half a dozen. They won't protect you even a little bit.

Israel acquired nukes. Now the rest of the Arab nations and Iran want them as well. Hope you feel more secure, Dan. If you do, you're stupider than I thought. Shalom.

E Tan, E Epi Tas!

LOL do U know how to read??
Israel have nuclear from the late 60.
The arabs and Iran still do not have.
If i feel insecure?
Well i am concern- in the positive way.

No Virgins - No Terror !©

Keep on persecuting the Palestinians. One day some Mullah may get pissed off and decide to grow a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv. Israel has painted themselves into a corner with their intransigence and constant militarism. Maybe thats why so many affluent Israelis are leaving the country for a new home in Turkey, Cyprus or elsewhere? They can see the writing on the wall.

E Tan, E Epi Tas!

LMAO
Affluent Israelis ,if they will want, will go to US ,Canada ,EU.
They will not go to 3 world states.

In all fairness to the Israelis, they needed nuclear weapons because nobody wanted them anywhere and they are a tiny minority in a hostile sea.  And to this day there is no way a nation of 6 million could defeat a united Arab world.

As for Iran, their need for nuclear weapons stems from hostile Israeli and US (shall we say Israeli as well?) policies.  Iran has also had wars with the Arab world.

Maybe it’s you who can’t read Dan, lets see, if
Israel “Probably” had nukes since the late sixties, then Read what the Russian General said three years ago:

IRAN HAS NUCLEAR BOMB, SAYS TOP RUSSIAN GENERAL

By Safa Haeri

PARIS 6 Jun. (IPS) As a Russian general disclosed that the Islamic Republic is in possession of the nuclear bomb, Turkey also joined Israel, the United States and some other nation in expression "serious concern" about new Iranian test-firing of the medium-range Shahab-3 missile.

Iran does have nuclear weapons", General Yuri Baluyevsky, the Russian Deputy Chief of Staff told journalists, adding: "Of course, these are non-strategic nuclear weapons. I mean these are not ICBMs with a range of more than 5,500 kilometers and more. But as a military man, I see no danger of aggression against Russia by Iran. As for the danger of Iran's attack on the United States, the danger is zero", he said, not mentionning the dangers the missile presents for Middle Eastern nations, particularly Israel, that Iranian ruling clerics wanted to wipe out from the region.

According to the well-informed "WorldTribune" website, the Russian general’s disclosure of Iran possessing nuke weapon was missed by journalists present at a briefing he gave two weeks ago during the Bush-Putin Summit in Moscow.

At the Summit, Russian President denied U.S. charges that Russian help to Iran to build a nuclear power reactor at Bushehr would help Iran secure weapons of mass destruction.

However, this was the first time that a Russian general says on the record that Iran has atomic bomb, which he categorises as "non-strategic".

But the "WorlTribune" observed that journalists at the briefing completely missed the importance of general Baluyevsky's assertion. "The Russian deputy chief of staff has just said on the record that Iran has nuclear weapons", highlighted WorldTribune.

General Baluyevsky also did not said where from the Iranian ayatollahs got the weapon, since the nuclear power station that is under construction in the Iranian port of Bushehr on the Persian Gulf with Russian assistance is not completed.

Washington and Tel-Aviv routinely accuses Russia with supplying Iran with nuclear and missile technologies know-how, but both Moscow and Tehran reject the charges, insisting that the Bushehr power station is of civilian nature and is being constructed under the constant and regular supervision of experts from the Vienna-based International Agency for Atomic Energy (IAAE).

While President George W. Bush has labeled Iran as an "evil state" and the US State Department has placed the Mullahrchy on the top of its list of regime that are the main supporter of terrorism, Tel-Aviv, for its part, say it considers the Iranian program for developing the Shahab-3 missile and continuing its efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction as a serious menace to its existence and reiterates that it would do whaever it could for preventing the ayatollahs to get the nuclear weapons and the means to transport them.

Like President Vladimir Putin, General Baluyevsky asserted that Iran and Russia have broad and concrete economic co-operation, which, he said, are "consistent" with the requirements applied to the non-proliferation of missile technologies and weapons of mass destruction. "This co-operation will continue", he assured.

Iran and Russia also signed a 3 to 7 billions US Dollars agreement for purchasing Russian-made warfare to modernise the Iranian ageing arsenal, made of very old American and British planes and tanks plus a certain amount of Russian-made weapons, including three Kilo-class diesel-powered submarines, Mig-29 fighters and Sukhoy bombers.

Meanwhile in Ankara, Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry said it has expressed its concern to Iran over the test firing of Shahab-3 missiles, thus joining Israel and the United States, both its allies.

"It is being stated that the recent testing of the Shahab-3 missiles were related with the increase of its 1300 km-long-range, as well as its capability to destruct. Our sensitivity has been brought to the attention of the Iranian side. Efforts to increase the range of the missiles as well as the expansion of them, will not serve for the global security and stability", Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Huseyn Dirioz said Wednesday.

Ankara showed similar reactions by such public statements twice before, said the English-language Turkish Daily News, adding that the first reaction was shown on July 19, 2000 and the second was made on July 1, 2001 by Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The Shahab-3 program is based on the North Korean old version of No-Dong missiles, itself a derivative of Chinese and Russian-made models, military experts say.

Meanwhile, Iran's new ambassador Firooz Daulatabadi met with the undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry Ugur Ziyal for a courtesy call. The missile issue was not raised, both Turkish and Iranian officials told the Turkish Daily News (TDN). ENDS IRAN HAS A BOMB 6602

as I have said before, thats the kind of answer you would expect from a patriotic Iranian who cares only about him self and Iran!

“In all fairness to the Israelis, they needed nuclear weapons because nobody wanted them anywhere and they are a tiny minority in a hostile sea. And to this day there is no way a nation of 6 million could defeat a united Arab world.”
The thing with Israel is that they have shown that they don’t want peace.
All the Arab countries have offered them serious peace deals, but the
Israelis have just dismissed the deals out of hand, showing that they don’t want
To live in peace with their neighbours. Its no wonder their neighbours want them out!
Also, it’s rather silly of Israel to be stockpiling all those nukes, it will only take one
Or two nukes to totally destroy Israel, and we know Iran has nukes already!
Israel’s best chance of survival is to take up the peace deals the Arabs have given them, but the problem for the Israelis is that they are all fascists who can’t live with
Anyone of a different race. This will surly be their ultimate downfall!

Isreali got nukes because they were/are surrounded by a bunch of animals hellbent on the destruction of Isreal and every last jew living inside it.


As for Iran,

Fear is certainly one of the reasons.Their scared of america/isreal could do to them.They need nukes to even tings up a bit.

I agree with every word that NeroAzurri said above.
