What's the difference?

Okay, I'm sitting here with a cup of tea, reading the news before I head off to Greek. And I've got this question, that no one is around to share:

Reading an article about Iran's nuclear program "Iran has until Thursday to agree to halt the enrichment program, which Tehran maintains is part of a civilian nuclear program to generate power. Western nations accuse Iran of seeking to master technology to produce nuclear weapons."

Please don't hear me wrong, I'm not saying I diasagree, but I don't understand where these policies come from. What ruling or agreement has alowed America to have Nukes and the right to say who can't have them? (And I know it's the U.N. security council blahblahblah...but it's the same idea)

Let me know if you know.

P.S. Happy Birthday Mommy!! :o)

I agree. I think that A)we don't have the right to decide what another nation can and can't do. B) as long as our country is in the possession and production of nukes, telling other countries not to make them or keep them is entirely hypocritical.
i think that NOBODY should have such a big weapon!

that's my (little more than) 2 cents.
:D

i don't know about anyones right, but i do know a little about deterrent......if everyone has a nuke - i.e. china,russia,pakistan, india,israel, etc - then the only remaining deterrent is....... who was crazy enough to use it?...... but while we are on the subject of rights......why should any country be allowed to be committed to the destruction of another?......& which is more dangerous?
