That's hard to do considering Iran will not let anybody in to see what's really going on. The obvious question is if they are really creating energy and not bombs, then why the secrecy?

Jan. 13 (Bloomberg) -- International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors will go to Tehran this month to discuss Iran’s nuclear program, two diplomats with knowledge of the talks said, as Europe seeks agreement on an embargo on Iranian oil imports.

Stating that Iran would be a threat with nuclear weapons capabilities is admitting that the US and Israel are threats to world peace.
The US and Israel are scared that if Iran did build a nuke, they would no longer be able to bully them with economic sanctions or be able to insert one of their puppet dictators. Effectively not being able to dictate yet another part of the middle east.
This sums it all up;
"Do as we say, but not as we do."
Break that message and you become threatened with the act of invasion and destruction.

WASHINGTON, Feb 29, 2008 (IPS) - The George W. Bush administration has long pushed the "laptop documents" - 1,000 pages of technical documents supposedly from a stolen Iranian laptop - as hard evidence of Iranian intentions to build a nuclear weapon. Now charges based on those documents pose the only remaining obstacles to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) declaring that Iran has resolved all unanswered questions about its nuclear programme.
But those documents have long been regarded with great suspicion by U.S. and foreign analysts. German officials have identified the source of the laptop documents in November 2004 as the Mujahideen e Khalq (MEK), which along with its political arm, the National Council of Resistance in Iran (NCRI), is listed by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organisation.
There are some indications, moreover, that the MEK obtained the documents not from an Iranian source but from Israel's Mossad. In its latest report on Iran, circulated Feb. 22, the IAEA, under strong pressure from the Bush administration, included descriptions of plans for a facility to produce "green salt", technical specifications for high explosives testing and the schematic layout of a missile reentry vehicle that appears capable of holding a nuclear weapon. Iran has been asked to provide full explanations for these alleged activities.

Alright then.
Now let's wait and see if that meeting actually takes place.
Iran is “probably hoping to use talks as a delaying tactic, and to raise the hopes of those in the international community who think that negotiations can resolve the issue,” said Michael Singh, a former official on the U.S. National Security Council, who is now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “All the signals from the Iranians are not that they’re now willing to negotiate an end to their nuclear program, but that they’re not.”
If we trust the IAEA to be an independent source, I believe we will face disappointment in the future. The November 2011 IAEA report rebukes Iran based on allegations which are probably as phony, as the allegations made by Powell in his infamous U.N. Security Council speech.

Fact: The ONLY way the USA can take the moral high ground in trying to stop Iran from obtaining nukes, is to get rid of their own and to urge all other nuclear nations to do the same.
If they aren't willing to do that, they have no right in trying to stop Iran. Not without looking like total hypocrites and war mongers.

Maybe you should rephrase that by saying what did Jesus tell us to do? He told us to turn the other cheek? Why? Because Jesus said revenge was His, not ours! So, in the end, Jesus said we was going to destroy every nation that turns against Israel. That's what Jesus said he would do. Just so you know.
