I wonder why Isreal hasn't launched a pre emptive strike on the reactor like they did against Iraq, now would be the time.. With Iraq ocupied by the US, refueling over the nation wouldn't be a problem.

The Israli bombing of Iraq's reactor in 81 could have been considered a act of war, but it wasn't. I think that after all talks break down Isreal won't hesitate to do it.

Insofar as there is a nuclear weapons programme, it can be developed in a way that is much less centralised. Libya certainly learned from the destruction of Iraq's reactor, and, had it not abandoned the plans, the it would have been difficult to stop it indeed.

I found a massive runway on google maps in Iran a while back, so I looked in the same area on Google Earth and found the reactor pretty quickly.  Have you been looking for it?

Because, to quote the Spiderman film, "With great power, comes great responsibility."  U.S.A. has the power to sort out these countries, so it should.  Otherwise, what's to stop Iran nuking Israel?  Or Iraq invading Kuwait?  As the one hyper power in the world, U.S.A. cannot stay in isolation, because if it had before, what would have happened?  There might be a Soviet France right now, that's one possibility.

why dont we do anything to korea or china? because there not as weak as iran thats why, all we are doing is bullying around some third world country

Have you seen the size of China, and the size of its military? I'm guessing not.  If U.S.A. attacked China, there would be widespread devastation.  China has the capability to put a man in space, or a nuke in NY.  As to Korea?  There hasn't been a Korea for over 50 years.  I'm assuming you mean D.P.R.K. (North Korea), as South Korea is an ally of the U.S.  North Korea possesses nukes as well, and could pretty much wipe out their southern neighbours, so any military operation would have to be carefully planned.  But then you'd still be bossing about a "third world" country.

No.

yes i understand the quote from spiderman, but that doesnt mean that the u.s should go over and deplete someones natuaral resources for its own personal gain, have u seen the fricking oil prices boom in the past three years? u think theres no coinsidence with us invading afghan or iraq, and all these oil companies getting so rich? take a look at the president, hes not solving any issue he should be doing, the govt. there is still in shambles the people hate the usa and everyone going over to fight for there country are pissed off because were not there for the right reasons. Theres noone in the world that tells the u.s what we can and cant do or why we shouldnt do a certain thing, all im saying is iran is growing just like we did, if they drop bombs on countries then yes we should act upon that, but until them why not monitor there work and go from there? remember all those nukes in iraq?!?!? yeah thought so....

Actually, with the death of Zarqawi, oil prices have dropped.  And it was the US who killed him.  So that defeats your point. Besides, thy were looking for WMDs, not nukes, in Iraq.

Whee. The death of a man who couldn't even load a machine gun, whose political role was incredibly exaggerated. Just as the importance of his death has been. This is hardly a turning point.

Also, it doesn't matter what they were looking for because they didn't find anything.  :)
