Israel, hasn't threatened the anihilation of another country. Thats my point.
Israel is a democratic country. Thats my point.
Israel doesn't hang and stone its own people. Thats my point.
Isreal is believed to have had nukes for the last 50 years, has it used them once?
Iran can't even treat its own people right, what makes you think they give a damn about landing a nuke elsewhere.
Tell me what do you actually know about the doctrine of the current regime of Iran? My guess is next to nothing..

the government dislike the west due to its religious doctrine, this is the main reason. You need to differentiate the people of Iran from the government. We are infidels to the government. Why did they establish Hezbollah Harlequin?
Im in no denial that Iran was handled inaapropriately by the west in the past. But you cannot let that distort the way forward.

Do some research on the Iranian regime and then we'll talk Mind is Universe. I suggest Keddies "Roots of Revolution", its objective and accurate.
In the meantime may i also say for the 100th time im not denying the US has gotten its hands dirty in the middle east, for its own benefit. Just like Iran is doing in Lebanon and Palestine. I dont hear you condeming that though!?

I think you are on the correct bearing as for assessments. Many people would rather choose not to face the ...FACTS...
1979, Iran seized the US Embassy, Tehran. US hostages held 444 days.
1983, Beirut. 220 US Marines killed by Hezbollah terrorists.
1993, New York. World Trade Center attacked by Islamic terrorists.
2000. USS Cole attacked by Islamic terrorists.
2001, NYC, WDC, Pa. Over 3000 killed by Islamic terrorists.
2004, Madrid. 201 killed, 1400 wounded by Islamic terrorists.
2005, London. Islamic terrorists kill 52. 70+ wounded.
____,Tomorrow. Chaos.
...am I seeing some sort of trend here? Give terrorists the opportunity & they will give their lives for heavenly bliss.

I have no doubt that Iran is trying to build a crude atomic weapon as quickly as possible. In my opinion, they want to do what NK did - detonate one and then say "OK, now let's talk". Look at NK - now the US is talking about removing them from their list of state sponsors of terrorism and lifting sanctions etc. NK and Iran see a nuclear weapon as a bargaining chip.
To suggest Iran strap a nuke to a missile and fire it anywhere is beyond a joke - suggesting they would fire it at the US (even if they could) is downright insulting to people's intelligence.
