Iran's Ahmadinejad: proposed sanctions not legal

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad flouted any more United Nations sanctions on his nuclear program as illegal Saturday, insisting he will not submit to any such pressure based on the United States and Britain "lying" about the evidence."

Well what do you think?

Is Iran enriching uranium for nuclear reactors to produce energy or for use in nuclear weapons? Of course the US, UK, and French would have us believe it is for nuclear weapons. And I should think that Iran has all the oil it requires to produce energy for a long time.
But to think for a moment on the Iranian point of view - why shouldn't they possess nuclear weapons? Aside from the total devastation of the planet earth aside that is. The US, and through them Isreal, holds so much power over the middle east because they have the bomb. Immediately after WW2, the US had the upperhand over the Soviet Union because they didn't have the bomb. As an aside - that is when we should have re-armed the Wehrmacht and pushed onward to Moscow, but I digress. When the Reds got the bomb, that changed everything. No more could the west end every arguement with the phrase "do as we say or we will atomic bomb all your cities"!
So of course the west doesn't want this all powerful trump card to be turned into a joker. But this argument could be wearing as thin as a goat herder's sandal after the WMD claims about Iraq. And have you ever read independant reports of what the sanctions did to average citizens and children of Iraq? It seems criminal to impose sanctions that will ultimitely prohibit the medical treatment of folks and children, especially after your army littered the countryside with depleted uranium (DU) ammunition.
Ahmadinejad states the Iranian Nuclear program is only for energy and for the production of medical isotopes. Surely the CIA can infiltrate and buy enough information to prove or disprove this.

I'm no fan of Iran or any of those middle east countries, but I like to view the world through their eyes now and then instead of FoxNews and CNN.
