Good question, Ustwo. I put that I don't care for a simple reason: there are a million and one things at any given moment that can hurt of kill me. I could be hit by a car, I could have a stroke, or I could be abducted by Martians at any given moment. My first priority is simply taking reasonable precautions to protect my family and myself from forseeable dangers.
Until I see evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran, I have no reason to care whatsoever. It's an obvious geopolitical move with no root in truth, not unlike the WMDs not being in Iraq. There are power plays on top of power plays, and the odds of there being even one iota of truth in any of this are mind boggling.
*If* Iran is developing nuclear weapons, then so be it. From what I understand of the Iranian government (which is exactly as radical as the Israeli government, who still has not used on nuclear weapon), they are far more likely to use the nuclear weapons capability as a deterrant, and maybe a tool to finally restore balance between Israel and the other Middle Eastern countries. In a perfect world, no one would have nuclear weapons, but this is hardly a perfect world.
Can you imagine if the USSR was prevented from developing nuclear weapons? The US would have taken over the world.
The bottom line is that there is no evidence. Without evicdence, how can one confidently convict and sentence?
