Why is it that Iran is unfairly singled out when Israel is the one that has nukes and is actively invading another country? Why is it that Iran is unfairly singled out when the NY Times has shown through the diplomatic cables that it is USA-financed Saudia Arabia that finances most of the "terrorist" organizations in the world? Why is it that George Bush has not been dragged through the streets?
Iran is getting the raw end of the stick all because it is peacefully developing nuclear technologies that many other countries already have. And Iran is not actively invading other countries and bombing civilians that Israel and the USA do on a daily basis.
Well, their president has made no secet of his desire to annihilate the state of Israel...
And if by nuclear means, that would also mean a fuck of a lot of dead Palestinians...
(which wouldn't worry him too much, since they are evil Sunnis, as I understand...)
However, I agree with you on one point. The international community has no right to prevent Iran from developing the technology to enrich Uranium (3 - 5% U-235) to the level required for electricity production. The sticking point is the inspection regime that would allow the international community to be sure that weapons-grade enrichment was not happening...
