How would you like to hear a great way to get Iran to stop their nuke weapons program w/o using military force

Tell the Iranians that Israel will get rid of their nuke weapons if Iran gets rid of their nuke weapons (program). See the only reason Iran wants nuke weapons is because Israel has nuke weapons.
So instead of Israel telling the US that they have to bomb Iran’s nuke program maybe the US should tell the Israelis that they should get rid of their nuke weapons as long as Iran gets rid of the their nukes?
A non-nuclear Mideast is certainly better than a nuclear Mideast, right? Or are you naive enough to think only Iran, Pakistan & Israel are going to build nuke weapons in the Mideast?

How about we just stay out of the Middle East entirely until they evolve out of the 4th century.
Don’t buy their oil and don’t sell them weapons.
Let them evolve on their own.

Agree 100% of course Iran is under threat by Israel/USA they just invaded Iraq and still want regime change in Iran, the rationale behind nuclear weapons has always been deterrent

You have a point.

I will bet if we get Israel to pull a Jim Jones then the entire middle east will be willing to get along .

Iran wants nukes so they can use them.

You’re amazingly naive. Iran wants nukes because it will make them a regional power, and grant them impunity to attack their neighbors.
The Iranian objective probably isn’t Israel, it’s Saudi Arabia.

The nukes that Israel have is their only insurance policy against their hostile and racist neighbours who would like nothing more than to destroy them, and have tried to do so on numerous occasions. Your plan is tantamount to asking Israel to commit suicide, which is a terrible plan.

that will never happen…
Israels nuclear capability keeps the other countries around them in check and works as a deterrent from attack
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
It would only be a great soution if you could get Israel to go along.
Good luck. I don’t think it will happem.

The threat of nuclear retaliationis the only thing holding back all the anti-Semetic muslim nations surrounding Israel.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
How about Pakistan? Maybe if we get India to get rid of their nukes Pakistan will agree to dump theirs too.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
How about we just nuke the whole middle-east and get this done with.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
Israel would have to elect George W Bush to do something as stupid as disarming in front of its deadly enemies
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
Nope, now try typing one that will actually work. It’s not that easy.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
That’s a lie.
The President of Iran has repeatedly and publicly called for the annhialation of the Israeli people- "Wiped off the face of the Earth" was the phrase he used. A madman like that isn’t interested in stepping down hostilities and moving towards peace.
But go ahead and continue trying to make your nukes- the first one who twitches will have fire rain down on their heads. I’ll bet the Middle East will look really pretty once it’s a sea of glass.

You and Henry VIII are so damn naive. No wonder America won’t let liberals run our country! If Israel didn’t have nukes they would have been destroyed long ago. In fact, I hope Israel uses the nukes on some of their whacked out Arab neighbors. It will serve as further deterrent to their openly stated goal of destroying Israel.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
Awesome. So just say Israel gives up there nukes, then Iran says "great" and nukes them anyways…
Tell the Iranians that and they are even more enticed to keep building their own.
You’re really naive to think that Israel would give up their nukes and that Iran would stop trying to build them even if Israel did.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:37 am
Dream on…
The little Hitler that runs Iran will use Nukes on Israel just as soon as he gets them…don’t be a fool Iran will use them right after they unveil their Mahdi = the Islamic Messiah by the end of next year…maybe a little longer.
The Mahdi you say?
Yes Abaminajab (or however you spell his name) has promised the appearance of the expected one within two years..a year ago

Iran wants nukes to protect it self from the West. Because of George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. The Iranian theocracy is scared they may be next. It wouldn’t matter if Israel got rid of it’s nukes. Plus Israel will never admit they have nuclear weapons.

Escalation is good for USA. More nukes more nuke deterrents. More interest in antinuking technology, more interest in antiantinuking technology. Well starwars defense system could pay for itself if we got people to sign on as under the umbrella!! Think of all the money we would lose if they were to disarm? The MIC in this country would never stand for it.

Are you naive enough to think that Iran only wants nuclear material to get rid of Israel?
Iran is sitting on an Ocean of oil yet their refineries only make petro chemicals, not fuel. They have to import more than 50% of their refined burnable fuel. You would think that they might want nuclear material for a power plant and that is what they say. However, they don’t have a power reactor plant to make power with. France offered to give them a light water reactor to generate electricity. They said no. They want a heavy water reactor to make weapons.
Are you naive enough to think that a country right between the Persia Gulf and the Caspian sea will gain no other benefit from being in the Nuclear club than being a threat to Israel?
As Iran edges closer to acquiring a nuclear bomb and its missiles extend an ever darker diplomatic shadow over the Middle East and Europe, Iran is likely to pose three threats. First, Iran could dramatically up the price of oil by interfering with the free passage of vessels in and through the Persian Gulf as it did during the l980s or by threatening to use terrorist proxies to target other states’ oil facilities. Second, it could diminish American influence in the Gulf and Middle East by increasing the pace and scope of terrorist activities against Iraq, Saudi Arabia, other Gulf states, Israel, and other perceived supporters of the United States. Finally, it could become a nuclear proliferation model for the world and its neighbors (including many states that otherwise would be more dependent on the United States for their security) by continuing to insist that it has a right to make nuclear fuel under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and then withdrawing once it decides to get a bomb.
Are you naive enough to miss the fact that Iran is surrounded by nations that are either occupied by or are friendly with the United States? (Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia) Every one of those nations either has or can be protected by the strategic nuclear weapons of their benefactor.
Are you naive enough to think that the Iranians have not seen the handwriting on the wall with the people of the US and Europe demanding that their governments invest in alternative fuels among them nuclear?
Are you naive enough to not understand that Iran is a theocratic state, the home of the Islamic revolution, being run by an Imam and not a smiling midget and taking the lead in a terrorist plan to convert the entire world to Islam?
Before you ask a question that insults the potential answerers by calling people Naive, you should make sure you have your own ducks in a row.
