"That doesn't make any sense, once Iran has agreed to cooperate with the inspectors."
In the scenario we're talking about, Iran is cheating. Of course they'd want to hide it and claim to the populace they're just being persecuted.
"If you truly don't want that, support denuclearization of Israel."
Well, Israel has had it since the 1960s, without an arms race. Apparently neighbours are not so concerned, but with Iran involved, Saudi has already taken steps to build a reactor. Also, Iranian development can hardly be considered defensive when they are the ones threatening Israel and not the other way around.
"This is pretty rich coming from the U.S., which has literally no business on the other side of the planet."
The same argument could (and has) been used to ask US to let Europe go, first to the Germans, and then to the Commies. It's a bit rich hearing it from a continent which has profited so much from US involvement.
