What is the worst case senario? If Israel was not an ally would this still be as big an issue?
Is there an argument for a balance of power in ME?
Why is it okay for some to have nukes and not others? Assuming Iran does want nukes?
Are we still mad at Iran for deposing our puppet Reza Shah and not playing by our rules?
Iran has not attacked any of it's neighbors for a hundred years so why are we so concerned?
Iran says they back "freedom fighters" in Israeli occupied lands. We say they back terrorists?
They want a negotiated settlement on an equal footing why should that alarm us?
Iran does not trust us for many reasons least of which is backing Saddam in the Iraq Iran war.
It was our chemical weapons Saddam used to attack Iranians.
Lot's of questions that can only be resolved by "jawing" not by wars?
Our appetite for wars should be over. We need courageous leaders who are not afraid to talk. Soft power is much more productive then bullying the world.

I can about imagine the reaction to this feed however fact of the matter is neither Iraq or Iran had absolutely anything to do with 9-11. Point of fact Iran even helped us with our pursuit of Al Quaida.

One thing is clear the little Iranian leader needs lessons in diplomacy from the likes of Man Mohan Singh.
