They have been punching above there weight for a couple of generations now. A people living on a sliver of land facing against some of the most despotic regimes in the world is doing better than anyone could expect.
Mainstream iranians aren't that zealous. They want a moderate islamic state engaged with the west. They want to move forward not back. Iran also has really odd demographics. Old people and young people and nobody in the middle.
What exactly are y'all so afraid of? Iran is small and won't ever have more than a couple nukes, the use of would result in their total destruction. Don't see that happening.
Much more likely they just don't want to be trampled like we tend to trample the non-nuclear. If you were iran you'd want a nuke too.
Like the yappy dog standing between the bulldogs feet. (We're the bulldog)"
Of course we needn't concern ourselves with mainstream anyone and, as mentioned, it is militant Islam which is the problem. That problem is international and you must know this.
There are many small countries around the world who don't fear the United States and don't need nukes to protect themselves. No one is interested in attacking Iran unless they behave belligerently, and that often seems to be the case.
A rather toothless bulldog these days, whose bark no longer carries much credibility.
Yeah. Lots of small countries with nothing we want that they won't give us.
How much blustering and preening do you need?
How many trillions we gonna spend demanding other countries tow our line?
Just a few more years and those old bastards will be dead.
Which countries do you have in mind? Norway, for example, has lots of oil and they don't need nukes. Nor does Mexico, Venezuela or Canada. Maybe you haven't thought this through.
No they aren't the only power that matters, there's a reason there was a noted shift in Iran's willingness to come to the table about its nukes after Rouhami was elected, he's not as bonkers as Ahmadinejad

It doesn't matter what the 'secular' leader wants. The guys who call the shots still wear the funny clothes and talk about things like 'jihad'. To believe otherwise is just naïve wishful thinking.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, all but said on Sunday that negotiations over the country’s illicit nuclear program are over and that the Islamic Republic’s ideals include destroying America.
.
Reminds me of the proverbial mosquito crawling up the elephant's leg with rape on its mind. One has to assume that if Iran were to try to nuke the U.S. it would be the end of his country. Therefore it is bluster.
Typically Iranian ****. Nothing like a little 2 minutes of hate will get the people who believe him all riled up. I dont expect the draconian mushroom cloud will ever come.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, all but said on Sunday that negotiations over the country’s illicit nuclear program are over and that the Islamic Republic’s ideals include destroying America.
“Those (Iranians) who want to promote negotiation and surrender to the oppressors and blame the Islamic Republic as a warmonger in reality commit treason,” Khamenei told a meeting of members of parliament, according to the regime’s Fars News Agency.
Khamenei emphasized that without a combative mindset, the regime cannot reach its higher Islamic role against the “oppressors’ front.” “The reason for continuation of this battle is not the warmongering of the Islamic Republic. Logic and reason command that for Iran, in order to pass through a region full of pirates, needs to arm itself and must have the capability to defend itself,” he said.
“Today’s world is full of thieves and plunderers of human honor, dignity and morality who are equipped with knowledge, wealth and power, and under the pretence of humanity easily commit crimes and betray human ideals and start wars in different parts of the world.”
In response to a question by a parliamentarian on how long this battle will continue, Khamenei said,“Battle and jihad are endless because evil and its front continue to exist. … This battle will only end when the society can get rid of the oppressors’ front with America at the head of it, which has expanded its claws on human mind, body and thought. … This requires a difficult and lengthy struggle and need for great strides.”
Iran
So now Iran's Leader.....classifies us in with the Israelis. The usual excuse of ALL will be Paradise as long as we get rid of the US and Israel. So be it.....let them bring it on. They might want to start sending out and SOS for the Klingons to come and help out.
Doesn't he just make ya want to walk up and put your foot off into his ass. Right when he gets done. I know one reaction he would have.

When did they say they were going to nuke Israel?
So far there is no actual evidence has been presented that Iran is building a nuclear weapon. Only screaming. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/25/w...see-no-move-by-iran-to-build-a-bomb.html?_r=0)
"January 31, 2012 - In Senate testimony James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, says there's no evidence Iran is building a nuclear bomb. CIA director David Petraeus agrees." (Iran's Nuclear Capabilities Fast Facts - CNN.com)
"he first part of the agency’s November 8 report declares—once again—that Iran is not transferring uranium for use in a military project." (On Iran, an Unsmoking Nongun)
Heya FMW. :2wave: Yeah but the funny thing is.....not once in the entire piece did he say Iran would use Nukes to destroy America. Do you think they may take a page out of the Sunni Arabs and the Sauds playbook, and just use our own laws against us and the PC Police?
The last time someone said "bring it on" in an arrogant and cocky way tens of thousands of a people died. Why don't we try and little more finesse and a little less brute force?
Because finese doesn't work with nutjobs like this.
