VIENNA, Austria — New traces of plutonium and enriched uranium — potential material for atomic warheads — have been found in a nuclear waste facility in Iran, a revelation that came Tuesday as the Iranian president boasted his country's nuclear fuel program will soon be completed.
The International Atomic Energy Agency report detailing the discovery also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the U.N. watchdog's attempts to investigate other suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a two-hour news conference in Tehran, asserted the world has no choice but to "live with a nuclear Iran," although he conceded his country was "still in the first stages" of its uranium enrichment program.

In the meantime, North Korea...
And lets not forget Japan, with its own nuclear program...
Japan's nuclear power program based on reprocessed plutonium has aroused widespread suspicion that Japan is secretly planning to develop nuclear weapons. Japan's nuclear technology and ambiguous nuclear inclinations have provided a considerable nuclear potential, becoming a "paranuclear state." Japan would not have material or technological difficulties in making nuclear weapons. Japan has the raw materials, technology, and capital for developing nuclear weapons. Japan could possibly produce functional nuclear weapons in as little as a year's time. On the strength of its nuclear industry, and its stockpile of weapons-useable plutonium, Japan in some respects considers itself, and is treated by others as, as a virtual nuclear weapons state.
But heck, Japan is a friend now, after a defeat.... And Iran is not, nor is North Korea...

If the Bush administration says that we should invade and occupy Iran because of their WMDs, I for one will be behind them 100%!

So no one wants to talk about it? Just make sarcastic smarmy "I am superior" comments.
Typical.

This was so expected. What so many people don't understand (myself included) is why they would be SO determined to have a nuclear power plant to produce energy when they're swimming in oil. The only reason I can believe is that they want a cover to make nuclear bombs. Especially with all the aggressive rhetoric that Ahmawanajihad spews.
Am I worried about N.K.? you bet.
Am I worried about Japan? Not so much.

erhmm...
If you consume the resources that bring you money to buy food, how will you eat?
Most of the countries in Middle East have to purchase their food from outside. Iraq is one such country where agriculture cannot provide sustainability. I bet Iran is in the same position.
Regarding Japan, and without excusing NK's act of bravado, some specialists believe that NK hurried its nuclear program as a deterrent to the escalation of armament of Japan.
Japan, with the assistance of the US, is bulking its defense potential as well as its potential for aggression. The actual president is very conservative (with family ties with war criminals of WW II, whom he still publicly encense). This does not mean that Japan could repeat its wars of aggression of the last century, but certainly makes it an aggressive partner in that region.
Iran is plagued by its difficult internal politics which is far from being monolithic: some of his president's decisions have to be approved by the previous iranian president, and the actual position on nuclear weapons is mostly an act to keep the presidency.
On the militarization of Japan: link and note that their budget is evaluated at 40 billion dollars for defense.

I am far more concerned of an escalation of nuclear weapons between Japan, NK and China than with Iran's need for nuclear power to garantee self-subsistance.

There was a small typo in your post, but I fixed it for you.

Your logic fails because a country like Saudi does not have nor are they aggressively and defiantly pursuing nuclear power. The majority of their power plants run on crude. The power plants get beat to heck because of it (since they are not really designed for that) but that's what they run on there. Why is Iran any different? I can't see Saudi Arabia being able to provide sustainable agriculture and I would bet that their power requirements are higher than Iran's, though I don't know that for sure.
