why is this such a big thing. I mean the U.S forced economic sanctions on India when it violated the Non Proliferation Treaty in the 1990s. However we used the uranium enrichment to benefit and not just to make missiles. However when Iran does the same thing but we know that it is using the uranium enrichment to make missiles (possibly to use against Israel), they keep getting warned but the U.S has done nothing to stop them? Just a bunch of empty threats? Why the double standard?

Its probably so as not to cheese off the Middle East thats sitting on oil reserves.Iran will be certainly getting their support!

I read this article in the latest issue of Readers Digest on how U.S hopes to use carrots and stick policy towards Iran. Carrots being that it will lift lift economic sanctions, un-freeze Shah's assets, provide you with security guarantee if they stop terrorism, let U.S inspect and monitor the nuclear tech.

Sticks being ofcourse harsher eco sanctions and cutting of trade with Europe and Japan (that is if they agree too).

I guess U.S is dancing around to see which way can it make Iran go!!
