The opinion of Charley Reese:

>>There's no country outside of the United States*** that wants a war with Iran. Iran has invaded no one and has threatened to invade no one. It is a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and that treaty gives it the right to enrich uranium for its nuclear power stations. That's what Iran has done. There is not one shred of evidence that the Iranians seek to build a nuclear bomb. They say repeatedly that they have no desire to build a bomb, and we have no evidence to contradict them.
However, even if they did, no nation has the right to tell them they can't. The U.S., Great Britain, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and Israel all have nuclear weapons – why not Iran? India, Pakistan, and Israel, unlike Iran, have refused to sign the nonproliferation treaty and have refused to allow international inspectors. What kind of madness is it that makes an American president believe that he has the right to dictate to the world? It is wrong that Bush is sending his flunkies around the world to cause trouble for Iran with its banking and business connections. By what right does he do this? He does it because he has the power to do it, and that is the worst possible sign of a leader – that he does something just because nobody can stop him.
Justice is not on our side in this affair. Iran's internal affairs are no concern of ours. If you wish to worry about nuclear warheads, you would be better to worry about those attached to intercontinental ballistic missiles and sitting in silos in China and Russia. I would worry more about those than about those not even built yet by people who say they have no intention of building them and who for some years won't even have the capability.
I wonder if the president really thinks that after all his bullying, the Iranians are going to say, "OK, we won't enrich uranium." Never in a million years. What they are most likely to do is tell the United States that if their rights under the nonproliferation treaty will not be respected, then there is no point in their being a participant, and we can stick it in our ear.
What will Mr. Bush do then? Go to war and wreck the world economy? I hope that then his rich friends will intervene and say, "Now, cool it, George, you're about to cost us all a lot of money."
Losing money – that might dissuade him. He seems utterly indifferent to the loss of lives and moral standing.<<
