It appears that the Islamofascist leader of Iran is begging to turn his country into a glass plain. Either that or the largest parking lot in the world.
His words reek of the pre-war rhetoric of Hitler in the 1930's.
We have to stop the UN from being the Chamberlains of the 21st. Century. There will be no peace in our time if we allow Iran to continue on the course it has chosen. They will only kill themselves if they attack Israel.And do irrepairable damge to their part of the world.

Yes.
But HOW?
That's the rub.
We have to stop them.
But we CAN'T stop them.
So we have to figure out how to deal with a nuclear-armed Iran.
The Iranians aren't bluffing, but we and the Europeans are. The Iranians know it too, and keep calling the bluff and moving ahead. Once they have the weapons, the Europeans and the Americans will storm off in a huff and issue something strongly worded to the effect of "We are VERY put out!" and then we'll have to deal with a MAD situation with Iran: they don't nuke Tel Aviv, the Israelis don't nuke Teheran. Worked against the USSR. It's all we've really got against Iran, because the will's just not there for a war.
