One of the greatest dangers the world faces is a nuclear capably Iran. When, not if Iran gets a nuclear bomb they will have enormous leverage over the whole middle east and possibly the world. Not to mention the danger US soldiers will be in with Iraq right next door. Moreover, Israel faces possible extinction if a mad man like Ahmadinejad gets his hands the deadly weapon. Will the world community step up to make sure Iran is not able to produce a deadly nuclear bomb, we have our doubts? The sanctions put on Iran are weak and thus far ineffective. As John Bolton exclaimed on the show Hannity & Colmes, "Iran cannot be chatted out of nuclear weapons." Mr. Bolton went onto to say the Europeans have been conducting talks with Iran for four years with absolutely no results. So now the world is at a crossroads about what to do. After 9/11 the world has changed and we hope people are more aware of the dangers terrorism poses, because not understanding the threat could be deadly for a lot of innocent civilians.

Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world and the clock is ticking for them to be able to destroy thousands if not millions of people. Thank about the possibilities for Iran if they get a nuclear weapon--how easy would if be for them to pass that technology to Al-Qaeda? Easier than you might think--in fact, Osama bin Laden's son is currently in Iran as we speak. Iran may be already showing their courage and lack of fear by threatening European nuclear plants. According to a European security analyst Iran is drawing up plans to strike nuclear plants, and if fact, Iran has already conducted reconnaissance of certain plants within Europe.

Excerpt: 

A European security analyst told British lawmakers Tuesday that he believes Iran may be attempting to draw up plans to strike targets in Europe and has conducted reconnaissance of European nuclear power stations.

Claude Moniquet, president of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center, a private think-tank in Brussels, told a meeting of lawmakers and analysts in London's House of Commons that his organization also had evidence Tehran has increased numbers of intelligence agents across Europe.

"We have serious signals that something is under preparation in Europe," Moniquet said, though he did not present any evidence to the meeting. "Iranian intelligence is working extremely hard to prepare its people and to prepare actions."

The center, which he said deals directly with European intelligence agencies, believes Iranian operatives have carried out "reconnaissance of targets in European cities, including nuclear power stations," said Moniquet. He mentioned no other specific targets.

For those who don't believe the Iran threat is serious read what a UK Leader said just yesterday:

Iran could be able to build a nuclear bomb in less than a year and confronts the world with one of its most "urgent" threats. "Every week, every month that goes by brings Iran closer to possessing a nuclear weapon. Once the Natanz nuclear enrichment plant was fully operational, Iran would have another option. It could stockpile low enriched uranium. With this in hand, Iran could then formally withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, expel the UN's nuclear inspectors and quickly enrich the uranium to weapons-grade level.
