Iran And Nuclear Power

               Iran, a nation that we see on the news as tyrannic, but is that really the case?  People have blamed the entire nation when in reality it is a few people that we have to hate. Many people have the issue of  hating  nation when in realty its only the  few men in government we have to hate.While the government of Iran has done some horrible things i believe they should have some access to nuclear power

              Iran has every right to pursue the advances of nuclear power.  Nuclear Power is not just used for weapons. "Nuclear Power can be used in both military and peaceful settings (http://www.ehow.com/about_5467201_uses-nuclear-power.html)." It would be cost efficient for a country that doesn't have unlimited supplies of money. "If carbon taxes are passed, nuclear power will be economically competitive (http://www.ehow.com/about_5467201_uses-nuclear-power.html)."  It would also help our environment if they were to have nuclear energy. People have been very worried about the ozone layer, especially politicians, and if Iran were to convert to nuclear energy it would help reduce the world's carbon emissions. "nuclear power does not release greenhouse gasses or contribute to acid rain like coal and oil power plants do. (http://www.ehow.com/about_5467201_uses-nuclear-power.html)." Politicians have made the ozone layer a huge political issue and converting Iran to nuclear power could give big strides to helping the ozone layer.
            Can Iran be trusted with nuclear power?While they should have the right to do what they want in their own country, I do not think they can be trusted with being given the access to much research into nuclear power. The rumor is that they want to develop a nuclear bomb. I think that every country should have the right to chose what their methods of weaponry are, however the idea of a nuclear bomb in the wrong hands can be disastrous. I think Iran can be trusted with nuclear power, but at this time not nuclear weaponry, and if there aspiration is to build a bomb and go to war, then I don't think it is the best idea.  We don't know that they would like a bomb. According to The Moscow Times in 2011, "We haven't seen one shred of evidence that Iran has been weaponizing, in terms of building nuclear weapons facilities and using enriched materials (http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/why-iran-cant-be-trusted/448206.html)." In 2012, the world nuclear association had this to say, "A large Nuclear Power Plant has started up in Iran (http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf119_nucleariran.html),"   I think the Government of Iran can be trusted to an extent, but if things get out of hand the research will have to be destroyed and the knowledge contained.
              I think the west has the right to intervene at the moment. Iran has threatened our national security by telling us that they will send ships to the US East Coast if ever attacked by Israel " the threat came barely a week after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was welcomed to the podium of the United Nations General Assembly  in New York (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148369#.ULwiIINQU2d)." This is legal under international law, but still very intimidating (http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hamilton/20020909.html). We have every legal right after this to try and get involved in the Iranian government in order to protect ourselves (http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hamilton/20020909.html).
