My brother,ordinarily,the milk of human kindness that flows in me would have bought your assertion,wholeheartedly.However,human nature is a constant.No matter how we try to romanticize about it,man will be man.According to Machiavelli,the passions of men repeat itself.Men will always be aggressive towards one another.So no matter how good we try to view people,their essential nature wont change.As long as the feel threatened,they will want to acquire power to balance the threat.This will lead to an arms race.Thus,the race of a balance of power,will turn to that of balance of FEAR.Enough of my abstract constructs.Let's speak in concrete terms.
As long as Iran fears threatened by her Nuclear neighbors,her Nuclear program cannot be civil.And since her system of government of based on religion,which is a non-rational phenomenon,she cannot be trusted with Nukes.
