Iran & nuclear power
For once I agree with the major powers—who believe it could be dangerous for Iran to have nuclear power which they may use to develop nuclear weapons.
However, I disagree with them when they think they themselves can be trusted with nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Such weapons are indeed dangerous with the potential to destroy humanity. I do not believe that we humans have evolved sufficiently to be trusted with these weapons—not just the Iranians, the North Koreans and others deemed to be our 'enemies'—but all humans. I cannot think of one nation that I trust to use nuclear weapons wisely.
When we have evolved sufficiently to use nuclear weapons wisely we will no longer want them.
I therefore propose that all nations work together to develop new forms of energy that are safe for this world in every way. And lets start dismantling nuclear powers stations and weapons wherever they may be.
