Ask them. I'm sure they'd be glad to tell you.
It doesnt really matter. You seem to still be believing that Iran is not capable of recieving fission material. The fact is they have. Seems a great deal better if we were the ones in control of it. But, our one track administration lacks the thinking ability to see past this or even see it coming..
So you're suggesting that Iran, or any other country for that matter, would submit to unilateral inspections? What's the threat? Unilateral sanctions?
Perhaps now they will develop a uranium weapon. But how could we know since we have absolutly no control nor say about it. We cant even know how much they have. [/B]
I agree there, and I would take it one step further: We can NEVER be sure that they don't. So, if we honestly believe that they are developing nuclear arms, and we believe that they intend to export those arms, then it is certainly in our best interests to blow the ever living piss out of their ability to do so.
Aside from that, they don't (and shouldn't) give us a second thought (because of the distance between us, the only actions we could take would be wildly against our own self interest). But, if we got some of Iran's more powerful neighbors on our side (enter, 'free Iraq'), then we would have a more viable option than the distasteful invasion or the toothless UN
