I'm never sure who "we" are. Given your point about we and they, I can
only assume that we are The United States. Maybe the West. The US,
Europe, Japan, Austraila, Canada....or NATO....all those aopposed to
Iran having a bomb.

In any event, my point is not that the bomb is **THE** issue, but that
it is an issue. A critical one.

And, while there is no evidence, as you point out, that Iran is
looking to buy the technologies to make a bomb, there is plenty of
evidence that it is building the means to produce one, weaponization.


Also, while I agree with your point that the WE wants to destroy Iran
as it is now, a nation that the WE sees as the greatest threat to
peace in the region, and that the bomb issue is not the only reason
the We wants to destroy Iran, it is a critical reason.

 Also, isn't it ironic that the Left want to allow Iran to produce a
bomb and the Right is against nuclear proliferation?
