I agree that Iran's nuclear program is a threat to world security. However, it is mildly problematic. How can we say Iran is not allowed to build nuclear power plants when Canada does and sold them to Communist China? It's a bit of a double standard.
How can the Americans say Iran is not allowed to have nuclear weapons when they are the only country in the world's history who has ever used them.
I don't like the idea of Iran having nuclear power plants but it's a bit intrusive for us to say they can't have them. Especially when we sold CANDU reactors to China who in turn give that technology to other even less friendly countries.
North Korea is a different story. Them launching and testing missiles in defiance of the world while declaring their intent on building their nuclear capabilities is grounds for trade sanctions. Yet us selling reactors to South Korea makes it more problematic.
