Why do MAGATS and Republicans, and perhaps some Democrats, think we have the right to dictate what another country can do? Perhaps I don't remember, but no one complained when Israel obtained nuclear weapons, and no one bombed them for doing so. Some nations may have complained when Pakistan obtained nuclear weapons, but no one waged war against them.

Iran is no more evil than North Korea or Russia but no one attacks them BECAUSE they have nuclear weapons. Given Iran's enemies, including Israel which has attacked them numerous times, they want nuclear weapons as protection. I wish no country had nuclear weapons, but I don't believe we have the right to tell other countries what they can and cannot do. What we can do but Trump refuses to do is to use trade and other enticements to make it worthwhile for a country to cooperate rather than trying to force them with war.
