Muslims, Iranians, Canadians and Americans, all people are essentially the same, we want to live freely in peace, raise our families in love and understanding within the confines of the cultural, social, and environmental world that we each know and understand.

We want the right to carry arms in defence of ourselves and loved ones, often feel fearful of humans with greater weapons of destruction then ourselves and in such a case will attempt to attain these weapons if possible. Not a completely insane thought considering the obvious nature of human kind that were all witness too and history tells us about in narrative, but is a policy of safety and defence by equal fire power a realistic long term solution to the problem of feeling secure around your neighbours, highly doubtful.

None of us likes to be told what to do or how to do something, feeling were each more then capable of making such decisions for ourselves. We would never allow someone to come into our house and tell us what we should be doing or how we should be conducting business or that were not allowed to develop something.

The confrontation between the United States and its partners with Iran over allegations in recent years that Tehran attempted to develop nuclear weapons covertly as part of a peaceful atomic program to provide energy appears to have many of the aspects referred to above in the list of things we wouldn’t want done to us, so one might understand why Iranian’s have had their back to the wall over the last few years.

The recent announcement by the UN nuclear monitoring agency of a ‘milestone’ agreement with Iran that is designed to shed light on the truth of the allegations, sometimes in May IAEA Deputy Director General Olli Heinonen said in an announcement on Wednesday, comes as a welcome sign of relief of tension over the affair, and Iranian willingness to discuss further the allegations is considered a positive sign waving in the wind.

The desire for Iran to obtain the weapons seen by the world as a sign of military might, technical superiority and equality with the big boys, is hardly a surprise. Unfortunately, most countries if given the choice would probably develop nuclear weapons, but the US and its allies have been successful over the years in trying to limit the number of nuclear weapon capable counties and obviously spend a lot of fearful moments continuing to do so.

Considering the number of friends they have endeared over the centuries, their desire to be the biggest baddest country in the world, and their fear of all, its no accident they resist additional countries developing nuclear weapons.
