Absolutely, the odds of Iran going nuclear are near 100%!
Figure the IAEA missed NoKo, Pakistan and India. Figure the IAEA had NO idea Syria was building a nuclear facility - the one Israel destroyed last month in an air raid. Figure that if the IAEA says we have nothing to worry about - we should be worrying big time. If they told us they were building a nuclear bomb, I would be resting easy.

What evidence do you use to trust the IAEA that Iran is not building a nuclear bomb? Do you HONESTLY believe they are trying to develop peaceful nuclear power options?? If they are, why not just buy one from Toshiba or GE or Siemans and save the tens of billions of $'s they spent?? Maybe we should send Joe Wilson or Valerie Plame there just to get a second opinion?

Slept very last night - thanks.
Have a good day.

Do you honestly believe that Iran has zero interest in building a nuclear device?

What do you make of the Israeli raid on that Syrian facility 7 weeks ago? Where was the IAEA on that one?

Lets say you are correct on the IAEA and iraq - that still gives them less than a .200 batting average - you would trust American security and safety with them??

Is the proof that the bombed syrian facility was nuclear of Iraq proof quality grade? Maybe Syria was bombed to show the rest of the world that "hey, bomb another muslim country and there'll be no consequences, so you might as well do it to Iran"? Not like syria could really do anything to israel that they haven't yet done.

If Israel rightists want to bomb Iran, why don't they go ahead and just do it themselves? Especially if Iran won't retaliate? After all the pledge was to wipe off israel off the face of the earth, not the US. Israel is way more justified than we are. Why must Israel use the US yet again as a surrogate for yet another one of their proxy wars?

I missed your point in the first paragraph. What do you think the israeli raid on Sept 6, 2007 was directed at?

There are no rightists and leftists in Israel today - the majority of Israeli's recognize that their existence is threatened by Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria - all of which are funded and supported by Iran who is itself developing a nuclear bomb (and thank you for recognizing the fact that elbaredai and the IAEA is basically worthless) and has called publicly for Israel's destruction multiple times. Israeli's are realists - hence their defense budget and their universal call to serve country is rarely questioned. They would love peace, they have sued for peace, they have given land back for free in search of peace - all to no avail. They can take care of Iran if they wanted to - but it would be so much easier for the US to do it - and as you know - they control what the US does - its just a matter of pushing the buttons.
