i have to say yes and no....i believe they seriously do want to use their research for peaceful means but i also think they have other motives as well. otherwise why would they turn down offers to stop their enrichment if they are provided with already enriched uranium to power a nuclear reactor? isnt that what they are trying to accomplish?

i also think a large portion of concern is the political stance the Iranian govt has show towards countries such as the US, Isreal, and any of those two allies and supporters.

Iran deserves to have nuclear power but with their political views and past track record they def need to have strict international regulation and inspection on the entire start to finish process of their enrichment process to be sure none is "lost" or enriched to weapons grade material

Ayenajid (sp) or whatever the presidents name is can say all he wants, he can't do shit without the approval from the Ayatollah. Iran is the center of the middle east i wouldn't be surprised if they tried to expand their territory, Afghanistan and Iraq could easily be taken over, if we werent already involved over there.

no your correct on that but what he is is the face of Iran, and the position of a nations "face" if you will can at times be way more dangerous than the position of the actual leader.

and iran is too smart to attempt to take over any other countries, it just wouldnt fly internationally and they know it

I wouldn't trust Iran to run an enrichment program on their own. They obviously have some other intent after all of the negotiations and sanctioning threats.

So if you knew a kid was going to bring a gun into a school, you wouldn't try to stop him? Same scenario, different levels.
