First off, let's kinda set some boundaries for discussion, I mean, when we say a "nuclear Iran" we're referring speciically to nuclear weapons, right?

I mean, I have absolutely no problem with the Iranian People having nuclear power for civilian use, do you?

It's just that we don't trust the Mullah's to administer it, am I right?

So, before we get going into the discussion then, let's pose this question, (or maybe please answer it during your post or something) - would you be okay with a nuclear Iran if the Mullah's weren't in charge?

Like, if they were to adopt a democratically elected government, would you allow it to pursue nuclear weapons?
I know I'm headed straight out of bounds with this, but....

Why exactly does Iran need nuclear power? They have the second largest nat gas reserves on earth, and the 5th largest crude oil reserve on earth. It's not like they need nuclear power to make up for a lack of available energy. Seriously, they're energy flush WELL into the future. That is why I don't trust their fundamental motivation.
