Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Irans nuclear ambitions during an interview with NBCs David Gregory recently, and had some harsh words for those who dont recognize the threat a nuclear Iran poses.
When Gregory asked Netanyahu why a policy of containment wont work on Iran the way it did on the Soviet Union, the prime minister explained:
I think Iran is very different. They put their zealotry above their survival. They have suicide bombers all over the place I wouldnt rely on their rationality. Since the advent of nuclear weapons, you had countries that had access [that] always made a careful calculation of costs and benefits. But Iran is guided by a leadership with an unbelievable fanaticism. Its the same fanaticism that you see swarming your embassies You want these fanatics to have nuclear weapons?
I mean I heard some people suggest, David I actually read this in the American press they said, Well, you know, if you take action, thats a lot worse than having Iran with nuclear weapons. Some have even said that Iran with nuclear weapons would stabilize the Middle East
I think the people who say this have set a new standard for human stupidity. [Emphasis added]

The little said truth is that there are any number of Muslim nations that would be glad to see Iran without nukes.
