Riddle me this, Batman. Why is oil-rich Iran insisting that it needs to enrich uranium in order to develop nuclear power?

Before you answer this, let’s take a trip into recent history and have you solve a few other mini-riddles.

America has invaded Iraq, a country which Bush named as part of his Axis of Evil. Iran has also been named as a member of the Axis of Evil, but has not been invaded. Mini-riddle number 1: What would be the best way to deter a US invasion? Hint: North Korea is in the Axis of Evil and hasn’t been invaded.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, has denied that the Holocaust ever happened, and has called for Israel to be wiped off the map. Mini-riddle number 2: What would be the best way to wipe Israel off the map? Hint: How did the US make Japan surrender, during WWII, without invading?

The answer to both mini-riddles: nuclear weapons. Now, let’s go back to the main riddle. When you put two and two together, I think it’s obvious that Iran wants nuclear weapons.

However, the real riddle is: Will the international community let Iran get away with it? The likely answer to that is almost too scary to contemplate. I don’t know about you, but every day, I’m on the edge of my seat.
