Ron Paul has said that he does NOT want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He has, however, said that he can understand why Iran would WANT one. He has pointed to CIA intelligence reports that Iran is nowhere near actually having a nuke — which means that spurious reports to the contrary are akin to the Irag/WMD fear-mongering we heard leading up to THAT war. In other words, guard your children; the chicken hawks want them to fight — and possibly die — in another unnecessary war.
