What would stop Iran from simply taking over this power plant by force? Iran is too untrustworthy at the time.

We could set up a self-destruct mechanism for the plant and launch the nuclear material into outer space before the armies break in. Attacking the plant would also be considered an act of war against the country that maintains it.

The concern you brought up makes my point. This whole plan would expose Iran's true intentions rather than let them stand on their soap box and potentially fool the UN into believing how peaceful their purpose for nuclear energy is.

I think the US shud nuke IRAN.. This long stand could be the next cold war, who knows, we have China and N. korea in the East, then you've got Iran and the Palestinians in the Middle East. I think this is a going trend now of out-producing and out-muscling power house US, which is impossible. The more they enlarge their military inventories, the more US will find a cheaper way to destroy those expensive armaments. US has a lot of genious behind those armies. Instead of monitoring, Lets stop them from using their nuclear power.. or else, US shud nuke them like what they did in Japan.. hahaha.. just joking.

Im spanish. I live in Spain. Im afraid of america. I have seen in the news, and I heve been told by friends who has been living in Irak, the way the get into a country that was working fine, to get oil, and they totally destroy it. Im really frightened, I mean, there is a very strong goverment in this world, with a lot of weapons and nasty style, who says me that in case their interests can follow, they are not gonna do the same with my country that what they are doing in Irak. Im not so worried about Iran, I think US is enough dangerous to worry about.

Someone here said they have to nuke Iran. Im afraid this is gonna happen, and I think this is not gonna be the beggining of a new cold war, but the beggining of another third world war, with the US trying making the world a theme park, and the rest of fighting against it all, against mcdonalds, prozac, cocacola, hollywood, and all that shit of american dream that is also in here, Spain, and meybe now they check my ip and they find me and they send me to Guantanamo, becouse for my ideas I can be a terrorist. That is my fear. But Im pretty sure to know who is the enemy.

You don't have anything to worry about! Having lived in the US all my life and paying attention I have a very good understanding of what many people believe. The overwhelming majority of people living here, including our own military, do not want the US to take over the world. We are people just like you, don't you ever forget that.

About half of the people who live here:- Demand a time table to pull our troops out of Iraq soon.

The other half of our population:- Hear over and over again (brainwashed now) that we should not have a time table, but our goal is to leave Iraq when things are "stable" and they also hope it will be soon.

In other words, everybody in the US wants us to leave Iraq "as soon as possible", but if not immediately at least eventually when they believe it is healthy for Iraq when we do so (even if they aren't sure when that is). It isn't our desire to conquer Iraq and make it a US territory. Remember Vietnam? Big mistake, but we left.

Our population is getting tired of this war and do not have the resolve to vote for a new president in two years who insists on staying in there.

Even if someone is lying and says they want to leave Iraq, but in their heart they really want to stay and conquer the world, their opinion will never be accepted by the rest of the US people because the US people are fed up with liars and make a public scandal of politicians who lie. You really ought to stop worrying about that kind of stuff as long as the US people have a say in the matter.

Our population does not want what you fear to happen and we are the ones who would have to do it in order to make it happen. But we don't want to!

What you are afraid of cannot happen as long as the majority of the people in the US have a say in the matter. (And since they make up our military, that is how it is going to play out in this generation.)

Maybe in 50 years when new babies are born and new people are in charge, then it could happen. But in 50 years the EU may be stronger than the US. Who knows.

I know perfecly most of the population in the US doesnt want the war. Most of the population of the US, I think, at the beggining they were ok with the war in Irak, but when the soldiers started to return from Irak in plastic bags, citizens started changing their minds, but there is still the other half of the population who still want war on Irak.War on Irak never have had to start. Before it started, people in every big cities in the world wentto the streets, screaming to not start a war, again. But nothing has been done then, just the USAarmy, with others armies included Spanish one, destroyed Irak. To steal oil. What a shame.The only massive weapons american soldiers found in Irak, there was written "made in the USA"in the back. You say "our goal is to leave Iraq when things are "stable" and they also hope it will be soon", andI cant stop worriying about the way people like you, are so much brainwashed. Dont you understandthat the reasons that Irak is not stable, is just that the power that have destroyed the country,is still there, controlling that the tension grows more and more, to create a civil war? do youthink they are working there to help people? or to use so many weapons that you have producedand you need to use? or they are in the fight of terrorist groups?, who in most cases, theterrorist they pick up are just some hangry citizen with a parent death under an american bomb, and is still there, hurting in the pain. I dont know what would you act if another country come into yours, and they throw a bomb over the building of the weeding of yourcousing, killing forty of your parents and friends, I dont know what whould I do, and aslong that I know that you doesnt also knows what would you do, I think you make a terriblemistake when you assure me that "You really ought to stop worrying about that kind of stuff as long as the US people have a say in the matter", well, now population of the USA dontwant a war, but Bush is elected for president again with the 80% of the votes, and I dontreally understand what is the say in the matter you have, and how important it is for thepower bizness, so please, stop lying me and lying yourself that is the most important. Thanks for the attention.

You should know that I do not have a strong opinion about Iraq at this moment. If you read over what I wrote again, you will see that what I wrote was more from of a neutral point of view--an analysis of the US population--without many of my own personal perspectives. In fact, if you read carefully I made a reference to war supporters as the ones being brainwashed. In other words, what I wrote was more in agreement with your position than what you are willing to give me credit for.

The fact that you think I am one of the ones who believes we should "stay in the war" and that I am "brainwashed to agree with the war" shows me that you are not very objective when it comes to understanding what I was trying to say. Furthermore, to personally attack my integrity by calling me a liar when everything I said was verifiable reality without any slant in ideology that disagrees with you shows me that it is no longer worth having a discussion with you. I was trying to help you feel better about what is going on--that the US is not interested in conquering Spain--but it looks like you won't let me help you.

Please read what I wrote again and respond more reasonably if you wish for me to continue this discussion. I am not interested in continuing the flame war that you senselessly decided to start. Thank you.

Im sorry to attack you personally, it was a mistake. I was not really clear minded when I wrote that speech, I just did have a problem at work before, so sorry very much. Of course I know US is not gonna attack europe, or Canada, or something like that. Not now. Well, I just wanted to express that my feeling is fear for the things to come. I know US have been producing lots of weapons every year, since a lot of year, and I just realise how shit would it be for people, if just a 10% of then were used. Or why not 50% of then, they are done, so how can you assure me that I dont have to be afraid. So many weapons in a so small planet!!!, we have been living for a lot of years with the fear that your country, US, and URSS, with the finger in the botton. and now the menace are the terrorist, so in a world with this unsafety, US goes and they say, "well, we make a war, we want the oil". So, I hope everything is gonna be alright, but I think that is not gonna be possible.

I understand. You know, back in the early 60's when the USA experienced the Cuban missile crisis with the Soviet Union, it was extremely likely that the world would end at that time from a massive nuclear exchange. In fact, it is extremely unlikely that we are even alive today after that event. In my own life I have had many near death experiences and while being saved from every one of them I have found that there really is a God who can take care of us if we choose His help. I believe that you can trust God to keep you safe if you accept His help. A lot of people hate religion and reject Jesus or are scared of God or don't trust Him or don't believe that He even exists. But if you knew the stories that I have to share and saw the things that I have seen, you would believe and understand. There is a lot of evil in the world that keep people from knowing God for who He really is. Even religion can be evil sometimes which keeps people from really knowing Him. I hope and pray that you will trust Him so that He can give you the safety and security for your life that you need. That is really the best thing I can ever tell you and I hope that you find God more and get to know Him, He really loves you and you will be amazed how much He responds to you and keeps you safe when you get to know Him.

I am materialism. I think everything in the universe is material. I dont believe in god, but just as the power that moves the universe. I think Jesus have a nice message, but people dont listen it very much, even when they say they are christians. About wars, god and America, I think you should know in the rest of the world, one of the facts we are afraid of USA, is becouse this nation belives that god is at his side, so everything they do is under the Bless of god (well know is "god bless America"), and this is a big bullshit.It could be great that people follows the teachings of Jesus, all of us respecting each other, forgiving others, that is wunderful, that we are all neightbours and we have to take care of us. And threating others as we want to be threated. I agree with you, I have also experienced that I´ve been protected, I would not say god, but there is a lot of things out we still dont understand.

I agree that using God to promote a national agenda is evil.

Yes, materialism makes a lot of sense. But not when you see powerful miracles happen. I have seen many miracles happen during my own prayers and during the prayers of others. You said that there is a lot out there that we still don't understand. I hope that you get to see miracles happen someday. Jesus was able to do things much more interesting than just give good teachings. I believe that Jesus really did perform the miracles that we read about because by doing what Jesus said I can perform miracles too. So many Christians today don't listen to Jesus (like you said) and they are materialists or partly materialists, that is why so many Christians don't perform miracles. I used to be a "Christian materialist" but I have discovered that miracles really do happen when we pray boldly with an honest heart and practice spiritual disciplines that Jesus teaches us. I encourage you to find some Christians that do listen to Jesus and perform miracles so that you can see it is real. (There are fakes out there, stay away from those dangerous people and do not allow their aweful existance to turn you away from the legitimate.)

People make money with religion. But I don't make any money by telling you this, so my agenda is only for your good.

There is an idea which Russia is pushing, which would provide that all uranium enrichment be done in one or two places, such as the US and Russia. Everybody would get their power plant fuel from one of these fuel banks, thus preventing trouble makers from making bomb material.
