    Nukes and Iran

    Iran is staring up it's reactor. It is hard to imagine that the world's nations would allow a country lead by a "nut case" to get this far. I feel that nothing but trouble will come of this. What do you think and WHY? Is the world safer, more dangerous or has there been no change?
