Tensions continue to rise between Iran and the West.

Last week, so-called “college students” overran and ransacked Britain’s Embassy (perhaps they were getting course credits for “community disservice”). In retaliation the British Government kicked out Iran’s diplomats from London.

The center of the problem revolves around western allegations of an Iranian nuclear weapons program. The Iranian government denies these claims suggesting the program is for peaceful power generation.

A recent report from United Nations inspectors claims otherwise.

Should the Iranians get close to producing a nuclear weapon, there are those in the region (Saudi Arabia and Israel) who might back military action against a nuclear weapon site… maybe as early as next year.

This could spark a violent reaction from the Iranians with large repercussions both locally and globally.

Should Iran be allowed to have “The Bomb’?
