the threat of a nuclear Iran?

What makes Iran so scary to so many people in the western world? What makes the world hate Iran so much? While Iran might have massive human rights violations and an oppressive view on freedom of speech, what country doesn't may I ask? I do not see the difference between Iran and any other Middle Eastern country. So why is Iran the target of so much media attention and bias from the international community?

Here is why: Iran is not as transparent as other governments. Iran used to be an ally to the US. Iran is not worried about their public image. Iran does not care who they offend. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth...ding ding ding. That is why Iran is hated. The world views Israel as their baby. A country that is still so young, only being established after WWII, the State of Israel has the protection of the big bad US and therefore almost all of the international community. Since the US and Israel do not like Iran, no one likes Iran. (I almost feel sorry for them. Iran is like the misunderstood kid on the playground that everyone thinks is weird or mean and no one wants to play with them. Don't worry Ahmadinejad, you have your bad boys club-- North Korea and Pakistan would probably not mind playing with you!)

Why else does Iran not like the west and why does the west not like Iran? Well countries like Saudi Arabia, a strict Islamic state are allies to loose and liberal, modern America. It is no secret that the United States is a big ally to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has really close ties to the US especially under the administrations of Papa Bush and Baby Bush. The Bush clan loves the Saudi Royal Family. Anyway that is not the point here. The point here is the increasing threats Saudi Arabia, a country home to 25% of known oil reserves, is facing. In my opinion it is in the interest of the United States to protect Saudi Arabia just as much as they protect Israel seeing as the U.S. has the largest dependency on oil than any other country in the world. The threat from Iran targets three [not] so unlikely countries that are banning together to stop the threat of a nuclear Iran-- The United States of America, The State of Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I like to think of the U.S. as the middle man between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Why? Well lets look at the two countries major differences: 1) Israel is a Jewish state; Saudi Arabia is governed by Islamic Sharia Law. 2) Israel is a democracy; Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. 3) Politically, socially, economically and culturally KSA and Israel are different. I mean the reasons go on and and on. Saudi Arabia and Israel do not exactly have the best relations with each other. That is why the U.S; a country that is an ally to both Saudi Arabia and Israel is the middle man because all three of these countries fear the threat of a nuclear Iran. Normally, Israel would push to stop the U.S. from brokering arms trade deals with the Kingdom but when the arms are used to protect the region from Iran then Israel cannot say too much. Recently the U.S. just did a $60 billion arms deal with the Kingdom in order to build up their defense. Israel would have been against this because Israel of course views this as a threat to their strategic military edge in the region but US officials assured pro-Israeli lawmakers and lobbyists that this would not effect it.

One has to realize that Iran has the right to have nuclear weapons. They are merely exercising their right as a sovereign nation. However, no one wants to realize this because of western media's portrayal of Iran. Now DO NOT get me wrong. I am NOT saying I want a nuclear Iran but I am just playing the devil's advocate card. If countries like the United States, France, Russia, China and the UK can have nuclear weapons why can't Iran? Oh let me answer that: because they are all P5 members of the Security Council. They will veto any resolution that says they must disarm. So again, tell me why Iran has to disarm? (This is just me playing devil's advocate). In my opinion, we should do this fairly...if Iran is sanctioned and embargoed for having nuclear weapons so should every country that has such weapons. AKA everyone should just disarm. But since we all know that will NEVER happen...*cough North Korea *cough, we will just leave it as that.

Anyway, I am all for protecting the delicate balance (if any) that exists between the U.S. Israel and Saudi Arabia. No one wants or needs to see a nuclear war happen because that is just detrimental to the entire international community. If Iran attacks Israel or Saudi Arabia I am predicting the start of WWIII. ahh scary.
