Well, your friend bush with your advice started this tradition, "guilty until proven innocent" so why complain now? Prove that you have not done what I say you have done.
You condemn Bush for his so-called attitude and yet you adopt it yourself. Former US President Bush is not the issue of this thread.
Israel, like Pakistan, did not sign the NPT - Does Pakistan is ready to give up its nukes? Of course not, not until India do the same (and prbably not even then...).
Iran did signed the NPT, and as a result received nuclear assistance from IAEA and from other countries, including building its nuclear reactor in Busher. Without this assistance, Iran was unable to develop nuclear programme.
However, although Iran promised not to develop nuclear weapons, it aspire to do so, and for more than a century constructed a clandestine nuclear programme and violated all its commitments. This is the difference between Israel (and Pakistan and India) and Iran (and North Korea until 2003).
Unlike Pakistan which is not ready to commit not to use nuclear weapons against India, Israel declared it will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the ME, and until today kept its promise. Furthermore, Israel has no conflict with Iran, and until the Islamic revolution enjoyed good relations with Tehran. Unlike Israel, Iran declared its commitment to the elimination of Israel and helps terror organisations (Hizbulla and Hamas) to launch terror attacks against it. Furthermore Iran, support any Arab faction who is willing to continue with the struggle against Israel until its destruction. Just read the reports about Iranian assistance to Asad in Syria to slaughter his people.
Moreover, Iran has regional and global aspirations. As a nuclear country, it will obtain a better position to destabilise the Gulf states and bring them under its influence. The current Iranian regime believe that if it controls the oil reserves in the Gulf (including Saudi Arabia) it would be powerful enough to challenge the West and the US.
This is why Iran should be prevented from developing nuclear weapons, including with military means.
