The perception that just because a country has nuclear materials they will automatically use them to produce weapons has actually been proven historically false by the past five decades -- despite a growing number of nuclear powers, not one device has fallen into the hands of terrorists or been detonated in anger. Instead, when countries are on a more even playing field, particularly developing countries, the technology to help modernize has the opposite effect -- why would Iran wish to launch a nuclear attack on anyone knowing full well that it would be completely obliterated by a number of surrounding countries?
In addition, despite the United States being the first nuclear power in the 1940s, the reality of globalism shows us that the world is a far different place in the 21st century. Technology has, in fact, brought the world closer, and if the theory of globalism is correct, conflicts should be minimized and abated because countries have a mutual advantage of seeing each other as trading partners rather than combatants. Additionally, the expense of building up a nuclear arsenal and large army is too high for most developing countries. Iran needs to concentrate on ensuring that its citizens all have working electricity and running water, especially in outlying rural areas. Why should one country decide what sort of technology another sovereign country is allowed when that...
Many mistakes were made during the Cold War Era; certainly those tensions bankrupted the Soviet Union; could time, energy, and money not be better spent using the tools of the atom to make it possible for every citizen in the global village to have access to basic utilities? (See: Elliott, 2007).

Nuclear Energy Nuclear Power: A Short Commentary on the Safety of Nuclear Energy The question of safety in the utilization of nuclear energy has been discussed in the world debate forum on nuclear issues since the inception of nuclear technology in the 1940's. Many experts believe that nuclear energy can be utilized safely, and many advocate for the continued utilization of nuclear energy. Yet there are some among illustrious scientists who believe that
nuclear deal with Iran. A tentative agreement has recently been signed, and the final details need to be worked out by the end of June. The parties at the negotiating table have an interest in a negotiated agreement, even if some other stakeholders do not. Given that, while there still risks that the deal may be scuttled or delayed, in all likelihood the deal will pass. The trade-off for
That is precisely what has occurred in Iran to date (Ajami, 2008; Larsen, 2007). However, the danger posed by continued Western reliance on OPEC oil in the form of financing that ultimately funds anti-western terrorism may be even more significant. Conclusion Ultimately, the principal question raised is not whether or not nuclear energy is safe and economical and beneficial to the atmosphere; it is whether nuclear energy is comparable to or

Iran's Nuclear Threat: As the development of Iran's nuclear program has increased rapidly, there has been a simultaneous increase in the amount of enriched uranium that could be swiftly transformed into weapons-grade material. While Iranian leaders continue to state that the nuclear program is geared towards peaceful purposes, there are increased concerns that the development of a nuclear bomb would be a major security threat. In attempts to discourage and prevent
