Ok, I'm going to need somebody to explain this to me...
1. Why does anyone actually care if Iran has nuclear weapons? Is it solely a matter of one more variable in the equation increasing the likelyhood of an atomic confrontation? Is it not a nations sovereign right to develop equipment like this?
2. Why does anyone care if Israel has nuclear weapons or not? Same reason? To counter hypocrisy? Same reason as Iran? Is it because US tax payers footed the bill?
3. Why does it matter that the United States was involved? French and British involvement during the Second World War in the Manhattan project, while not actually leading to direct development of European warheads, definitely gave these countries a good footing on their own development.
Furthering that, the US has worked with NATO counterparts on nuclear policy multiple times. So why does the same thing with Israel spark controversy? France has exhibited a similar flavor of disdain towards both the UN and NATO, why don't we worry about them, too?
I agree with the statement of hypocrisy towards Iran; but not in a sense that I think we need to check Israel as well.
Bear in mind, these are genuine questions. A lot of the fighting going on right now over this honestly confuses me, and I'd like some answers as to why people worry about this.
