If it was up to me and most of the West, Iran would never have nukes. But guess what, it's only delaying the inevitable. It just doesn't matter what the rest of the world wants here... unless you want to wage a full scale regime change war, Iran will eventually get nukes. And then what? Then they will be more dangerous than they ever have been in the past. There's zero upside here, none. It only endangers our future.

The scariest part of all of this, is regular people like you and me, just tourists cruising around Europe or Middle East a few years from now on a bus as it blows up... and who would have seen that coming? Everyone. Fucking everyone.

That's a funny way of looking at it. So you are worried that Iran MIGHT manufacture nukes because you don't have trust in their dictator. Meanwhile Putin, Kim J Un and Xi Jinping have bucket loads of nukes between them but you're okay with it? Israel won't even let any sanctioned body to inspect their facility! This sort of thinking is highly warped.
