The Full Story of Iran's Nuclear Program...

Here is a video I found that explains the truth behind Iran's nuclear program. It talks about their motives and it makes us ask ourselves if Iran should really be punished so severely for having nuclear weapons, if they have never invaded anyone.

It was made by journalist Robert Fisk, who has recently been fighting for equality and comprehension for the people of the Middle East.

The only thing that we sould ask ourselves is: is it so wrong for them to have weapons, even if they have been invaded before and they have been attacked by the biggest and most powerful countries?

I just read about how USA and North Korea are willing to talk bilaterally to reach an agreement in the North Korean Nuclear program. After North Korea talked to Chinese, Japanese, Russian and South Koreans representants North Korea is willing to reach an agreement. Is really N. Korea willing to convert from realist to Liberalist. Check the next link and tell me what you think.

I especially think that maybe this a tactic of North Korea to trick USA and the UN. We have seen in history that this small country is not willing to negotiate so , Why now?

Let's keep on reading the news and wish this has a happy ending.

Nuclear Weapons Free Zones

Are you afraid of a nuclear war? Good news! Most of the countries are NWFZ.

A Nuclear-Weapons-Free-Zone or NWFZ is defined by the United Nations. They come to this decision by treaty. The treaty bans the use, development or deployment of nuclear weapons in an specific area. In this map we can see how areas are divided:

Nuclear Weapon Free Zone

Nuclear Weapon States

Liberalism vs. Realism or maybe both

Right after I left the classroom I opened my laptop and took a look at today's news. For my surprise I saw an interesting topic. The Article is called: "Iran has 'updated nuclear package'; ready to hold talks” And after reading it, it got me thinking that maybe the world has more liberals than we thought. In the UN they are seeking to get to an agreement in the limits of the nuclear program in Iran.

And why is Iran willing to talk to the UN? The only reason they are willing to talk to the UN is because Germany threaten Iran if they did not meet to talk and reach an agreement.

So it gets me thinking maybe we are not just Realist nor Idealist; but maybe just a combination of both. Is this really what we need right now?, or is it the future of International Relations.
