The greatest mistake that the US is making is to assume that it controls the world. As a result it (the US) is now viewed as a big bully afraid of small nations.

The issue of nuclear weapons should rather be lectured and spearheaded by the UN and not the US. Considering that the US is the largest stock holder of nukes and is the only country in human history to have used nukes to annihilate people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This in a nutshell leaves a lot to be desired.

If the nuclear issue is discussed openly and nations with capabilities of enrichment are allowed to  advance responsibly, the world will be a safer place.

There is need also to look at the brighter side of the nuclear advancement in terms of energy and fuel rather than war and bombs. The main, reasons it seems, the US is so concerned is because the US is a "war monger" and whenever the word nuclear comes on the table the first thing that comes to mind are bombs.

The major issue here is to make the US understand that it is not bigger than the world and hence every nation enjoys equal opportunity to develop and use nuclear energy just like oil in the Middle East.

The reason why the world became so afraid of nuclear was because the US created the fear anyway. Nations like North Korea, Iran , India and South Africa ventured into nuclear some with peaceful agendas and other with hidden. The reason why the motives are kept secret is because the US wants to bully the rest of the world. The is no trust when it comes to nuclear technology sharing.

A lot of dangerous nuclear experiments are taking place because of trial and error methods. If the US is so concerned maybe it's time to share the safe nuclear technology with the rest of the world.

When X-rays were discovered they were equally dangerous but with time people learned a safer way of using the technology. I would like to believe if nuclear is given a chance it can also create a better future for human kind

The whole issue of trying to dictate issues to the rest of the world puts the US at risk. A more proactive dialog approach would save the US a lot of PR disasters and restore its status as a pillar of democracy.

Taking note of the recent 62nd UN Summit, it looks like there are more nations ganging against the US and internally the US presidential hopeful are doing more harm to the US than good.

Politicians especially presidential hopefuls should accept that the war in Iraq is a collective responsibility and STOP blaming President Bush for all the ills. The war in Iraq is part of the American dream.

I personally believe that when the decision to topple Saddam was taken it was in the best interest of the US not Bush.
