I don't think Iran's race has anything to do with it (re: the "brown people"<br>comment). It has more to do with their terrorist nation status. Maybe it's<br>just me, but Iran having nuclear weapons scares me. Nuclear power doesn't. I
<br>think it's smart for Iran to pursue nuclear power as it may take 20 years to<br>really get serious power output and they need to start now if they want to<br>be ready when the oil is gone. But I don't think Iran has shown itself
<br>responsible enough to have nuclear weapons.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>
Well, Iraq is a very 'in-your-face' demo of what can happen if you *don't* have WMDs<br>
