<<If i am reading your responses correctly and filtering out the usual anti-american bias, basically you don't have a problem with Iran joining the nuclear weapons family. Is that correct?>>
Not exactly. I've got a problem with anyone having nukes. The U.S., Israel, Pakistan and yes, even Iran. But I balance the concerns; my general uneasiness over anyone having a nuke, the aggravating factor of the Iranians in particular being led by a collection of ignorant, torturing, murdering bastards, they are all factors why the Iranians should not have nukes. Then I look at the factors in favour of them having nukes: the general principle of fairness, respect for national sovereignty (within limits,) the size of the nation, its valuable oil resources which make it a natural next target for the ever-rapacious U.S.A., its vulnerability to Israeli blackmail, allowing Israel more freedom to continue the God-awful oppression of the West Bank and Gaza; and ON BALANCE I say, better they have the nukes than not. But I wouldn't say I have "no problem" with that. There's a lotta problems with a nuclear-armed Iran, but there'd be a lot more with a non-nuclear Iran - - the Americans and Israelis could turn it into another Iraq, only on a huge scale.
<<lanya posted not long ago that the Saudi's are looking to upgrade if the Iranians are successful. That ok too?>>
Probably not. Who's threatening them?
<<How about corporations getting their own arsenals?>>
Mine, sure. Yours, no way.
