Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Feb. 11 would mark the demise of “the liberal capitalist system,” adding that its champion, America, was on the decline and that Iran and its Islamic Revolution were on the rise. According to a Jan. 28 translation from BBC Monitoring Middle East, Ahmadinejad spoke on official Iranian television, saying that this year’s “Ten Days of Dawn” celebration, marking the anniversary of the country’s Islamic Revolution, would see the “demise” of the American system. “I believe that 22 Bahman [ February 11 in the Persian calendar] this year marks the demise of the liberal capitalist system.” Ahmadinejad said. The controversial Iranian president explained that, 30 years ago, Iran was merely trying to consolidate its newly minted revolution. Today, however, the country was quickly moving to overtake what he claimed was a declining United States. “Maybe in 1359-60 [1980-81] our presence was only an announcement of our existence and strength,” he said. “It was to consolidate the revolution. Where have we got now? We have got to a point that the hegemony of arrogance [reference to the United States] has been undermined. Nations do not trust it anymore. Its principles are under question. Its efficiency is close to zero. Its power curve is dropping quickly.”

Very much doubt it's a nuke test - just hours after stating they have no intention of developing nuclear weapons. I mean, I don't trust what they say for a second (disclaimer: I don't trust what the US or Israel says either...) but it would kinda be silly to say that and then detonate one!
Just Mother Nature messing with us

You would be "shot" as you were in the process are gaining your "gun".
That rowdy neighbor you speak of is not screwing around when it says it will end this with or without the UN's blessing.
How is that for "rights".

I'd bet a substantial amount of money that Iran did not test a nuclear weapon, and that you are all too caught up in the situation.
Half the people in this thread want something to happen, it seems like.

No country is going to bomb the USA! It would be instant suicide. Did you know that we are the only country in the world that can be completely destroyed and then comes back and automatically will destroy the country that destroyed us? We don't even need anyone to order it to happen. Once we are nuked and no on can put out the daily signal through ELF that we are ok our nuclear subs surface and then fire its nukes.
No one knows where they are once the leave Northfolk, not even our own military. Its fool[proof and every government in the world understands this. We dont even need a military because of this fact....except to be the strong arm of the multinational American corporations.
So many sheep so little time to inform them....
