Unstable?! The US has had over two hundred years of continual democracy and the rule of law.

Iran has been an Islamic republic since only 1979 and has a sham-democracy.

Better than who? Who are you to say we are better than anyone? Different, yes, better, extremely subjective.

You just dont like Iran because they're Islamic. You have demonstrated your anti-Islamism again and again.

Iran having nukes may not be a good thing, but the US having them is deffo a bad thing!

Would you rather live there or here?

Democracy is better than totalitarianism.

It would be great if nukes did not exist but they do. The western democracies are relatively stable and ruled by law....it's better that we have them than anyone else. ...than alternative and less virtue political systems.

In our lifetime Iran may acquire nukes and I'd like to discuss this in a mature way with other users. If you don't wish to make a positive contribution to the conversation, please don't post. Forget skin pigmentation and headwear; this is about international politics and the world our grandchildren will inherit. Iran is a theocracy, as such Islam will be discussed.
