Iran doesn't fear us because of what we did 60 years ago. Iran doesn't fear us period. If they truly feared us they wouldn't behave the way they do. And the youth of Iran and possibly the majority of the country loves the West and wants to be more a part of it.

And why do they arm terrorists?
Where there is less rule of law, the people with the guns and the will to use them have the most power. Iran projects its own force operating in Syria, in Lebanon, in Gaza.

Quote:
Why can't they be trusted?
They operate outside of the normal diplomatic ways, spit in the face of the UN, spit in the face of the civilized world, threaten their neighbors, and operate under a barbaric belief system from the 9th Century.

Who armed that part of the world in the first place? Who sold technology to other countries? We...
...didn't.

And, how can you say with a straight face that America is in favor of limiting proliferation when we are still developing new weapons?
Which nuclear weapons in particular, can you name one?
