1. WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?????????
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.30.11)
Anybody out there that believes what Iranian spokesman say? Who thinks that Iran is telling the truth? Does anyone think Iran is building, or trying to build nukes? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then what should be the world response be? 1) Accept the fact Iran is building nukes and say that it's OK!! 2) Put more ineffective sanctions on Iran using the UN as the tool. 3) Tell Iran "no" that can't build nukes, and do nothing about it, hey, what will be, will be, and hope for the best. 4) Give them a timeline for full disclosure of their entire program. With a trusted neutral party doing full inspections. If Iran refuses to comply, bomb all the nuke facilities in Iran. BTW, who believes that world would be a safer place if Iran possessed nukes? If you don't, seriously, what should be done to stop it? Get off the fence!!!
2. Persians have always been imperialistic,nukes will allow
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE   (08.30.11)
them intimidate their Sunni neighbours.To "rule the mountaintops of the world" and spread Shia rule by the sword.
3. This is Barack Obama,the worst for Israel.

Obama might like the first three options but there is also a fith one which he won't like so much. Bomb Iran's entire nuclear program now. The experts seem to have a different opinion on when Iran will have enough Uranium for a nuke all the time, some say its 2015, some say sooner and others think they may already have enough Uranium for a bomb. As nobody knows then we should assume they have the capability to make a nuke already and take action now and not sit around wasting time with diplomacy which is going nowhere. The US is the only one who has the capability with their heavy bombers and stealth aircraft but it could be done with air power alone if it was the US who was doing it, no need to put boots on the ground so no need to worry about another Iraq or Afghanistan. Its also in America's best interest because the last thing you guys need is a nuclear arms race in the part of the world where the bulk of the worlds oil is. Iran is also racing ahead with their missile program and it probably won't be that long before they have ICBM capability and next time it won't be a plane that hits a tower block it will be a nuclear tipped missile. This is about much more than Israel.

They come by might and by sword, we come by the spirit of God.
6. UAV + XXX
Stephen in New York   (08.30.11)
Iran can defend against neither. That will do the job. (You figure out what XXX means.)
7. #1 the best option is to take the options
tea man ,   marjayoun   (08.30.11)
that both us and ussr took during the cold war put the head between the legs and kiss the thing goodbye
8. Iran's uranium program
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (08.30.11)
You have to tip your hat to the Iranians: They don't let anyone stand in the way of their striving for their goal, which is to build up a strong fighting force, develop modern, sophisticated weaponry, and finally settle the Zionist score, which has been festering in the Middle East ever since the first sizable illegal Jewish in-migration in the 1870s.
9. OPTION 1. Israel give up its own nukes
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (08.30.11)
Surely by any logic if you don't want someone acting in a perceived manner then set the example. The world does not need any nuclear weapons. Iran has consistantly called for a Middle East free of any weapons of nuclear nature. The world has grown tired of Israel's spoilt brat status.
10. Medical research?
Vlad   (08.30.11)
Wow. I had no idea that you can heal the sick with injections of enriched uranium.
11. P MORRIS As soon as Pakistan gives up theirs&Arabs/Iran give
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (08.30.11)
up their WMDs and decrease their at least 5:1 military superiority over Israel. Pakistan has already gone to war with Israel sending their air force to fight with the Arabs. Please let us know when you have written to them and got their consent or is Israel the only benneficiary of your sage advice?
12. #9 Peter Morris
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (08.30.11)
The cleverer gives in. But if the cleverer always gives in, the stupids rule the world. If Israel scraps its (supposed) nukes, Iran will not stop its nuclear program, but attack Israel together with its aides Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
13. if you have
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (08.30.11)
nuclear wepaons then its iranian right to have those weapons too isral does not threaten to wipe off any nation with it is your argument then why do you have it? the answer its for deterrence, thats why iran want them too and thats what israel dont like with nuclear iran israel will be restrained and wont be able to act as freely as before, thats the reason of all the whining :)
14. #1>>>There is only ONE option: FORCE !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.30.11)
15. The answer is blowing in the wind...
Persian CAT   (08.30.11)
Iran has announced publicly that it won't build nukes. What it will do is to put itself in the position to be a "screwdriver away from the bomb". This means having the capability to build one if it needs to. This policy was announced during Rafsanjani's presidency, and it is a rational one given Israeli nukes, and others around Iran. Israel has no option other than accepting this or attack Iran and face the consequences.
16. associated press- "iran says....".
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   mankindnation/land   (08.30.11)
other countries/peoples won"t stop their enriching uranium program. every country/ all have the right on a weapons of mass-destruction arsenal, or not any/nobody has that right.

22. #16;sjoerd, NOT REALLY
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.30.11)
