Please cite facts that Iran has no weapons of mass destruction and if they did they would not use them.
Real facts proven by you as an agent of the US Government.
Thanks.
I'm not sure what WMD has to do with the Iranian threat....
I believe that Iran could sponsor/commit some sort of terrorist attack. I have no doubt that they could make it chemical, or radiological, if they wanted to. The question becomes one of tolerance - in other words, how much retaliation are they willing to tolerate?
There is no doubt in my mind that if they attacked with WMD, the Western world would first bomb to oblivion any infrastructure which could support their war-making, then finish the job by occupying the country, and rooting out any elements of the former government.
It's that old "bringing a knife to a gunfight" thing. Iran has no hope of holding their own against a concerted attack and invasion, and I think they know it. They may be insane, but they're not stupid. The current saber-rattling is purely an attempt to gain face in their own circles. They think that the US is too busy in Iraq to turn North, so they feel they can get away with the blustering and brinksmanship. It's my belief that they overestimate our tolerance of the saber rattling; I think they are about to find out, with measures short of military. As long as they don't pull any overt violent act, the international community won't retaliate militarily.
Israel, on the other hand, may not wait....
