We can't let Iran have nuclear weapons because of our failed foreign

you saying Iran doesn't have the right to defend itself? Look at their
neighbors. Wouldn't you want one?


Let's look at Iran's neighbors:
* Iraq. A (sort of) functioning democracy,
* Turkey, another democracy,
* Turkmenistan,
* Afghanistan, and
* Pakistan.

The only member of the above list that has the capability of threatening
Iran is Pakistan. Pakistan has had nuclear weapons for some time now and
hasn't used them or threatened Iran in any way.
