While someone like Iran is basically an uneducated third world country with a dictator at the helm. This type of Government is unstable and there are no checks and balances, as well as having a skewed world view filtered by dogmatic religious fundamentalism.
You have some reading to do.
..but thanks for the laugh. Do you have any thoughts in relation to my question?
Because Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons (IF that is what they are doing) is NOT and "national" issue. It's an international issue.
Doesn't matter about the structure of the Iranian government, when there were recently protests in that country to change the status quo, but the protesters were beaten into submission.

No. You are trying to confuse the issue by not seeing everything I am saying and concentrating on one thing I have said at a time.
Iran's pursuit of nuclear technology is THEIR national issue.
USA's right to bear arms is THEIR national issue.
USA is critical of Iran's right to seek this technology even though it is a NATIONAL issue.
USA gets mad when people from outside the USA criticize their right to bear arms which is a NATIONAL issue.
Clear as mud now? All I was doing before was trying to show that Iran's nuclear program is their own national issue and not a global one, which is what some people believe it to be. It is no more a global issue then France's nuclear program is to anyone.
Again, I know people will not read this disclaimer but, this is not a blanket statement of all Americans, just of the conversations/threads/posts on ATS.

LOL! False Rhetoric? LOL!
I believe it is VERY common knowledge that Iran had purchased it's Nuclear Reactors as well as Nuclear Fuel from Russia as well as the very well know fact it signed the NPT to be able to do this.
You are funny!

Had Iran developed this tech on it's own and attempted or developed Nuclear Weapons on it's own there would not be so many U.N. resolutions calling for Iran to stop enrichment...but it did.

Kind of like the Occupy protests in the oh-so-more civilized US?
You are a well knowned anti-american here on ATS, and would never hesitate to spew your illogical anti-american thrash, misusing precious bandwidth for freedom of speech that had been denied by the very people you support.
Nevertheless, for you to compare USA's discussion on gun issues and link it to your pet and boot-licking Khamenei support is absolutely flawed and irrelevant.
America's gun issues are american citizens issue to resolve amongst all within the nation, and DOES NOT affect the world, as USA had not sought to impose the 2nd amendment to other nation unless the citizens wake up to the fact that they need it, as the Syrian People now had woken up to such fact.
Wherelse, your beloved apostate Khamenei's hunger for Nuke power and domination DOES affect the entire world, as North Korea had proven with its success in nuke and intercontinental missle tech, and in such DERANGED hands, no human in our world can ever feel safe again, unlike responsible nuke powers such as USA, China, Russia, etc, for they are not stupid to realize what would happen if even one nuke missle is launched.
But for the deluded apostate Shia Khamenei, who dreams of himself controlling the mythical 'Madhi', preaching end times as being these days and had actually tried to ferment insurrections in fellow sunni states, he is one mad and insane inhuman whom cares no more about humanity, but for his own afterlife of perpetual 7 virgins serving him when his soul will be sent to a dying sun soon when he passes on.
Such mad man have NO right to own nukes, more so with his tirades against sunnis and israelis, calling for their extermination and actually ordering their deaths.
Go ahead with your bootlicking, OP, and discount my post with one liners. It is your right, but NO ONE will be fooled except your fellow Khamenei bootlickers.

Every U.S. Intel Agency has stated Iran has not built a Nuclear Weapon YET. They agree Iran is attempting to do so.

We are indoctrinated at a young age to think we're better than everybody else and we know better as well. Some people aren't smart enough to realize that is wrong and they go on to be Politicians. I can't apologize enough for my government. The only thing I can say is it is not the American people who are in control of it anymore (if it ever was), it has been hijacked.

I thought the same way. Do you realize how much space it would take up to even come close to amount of energy produced by nuclear power with solar? Short answer: A lot.
Edit: I do agree that I also don't believe any country should be pursuing nuclear power when Thorium reactors are much safer and don't provide the material needed for nuclear bombs. China is leading the way in research on them.edit on 10-1-2013 by superman2012 because: (no reason given)
