| Re: War in Iran? Giannis,
Most of what you said has very strong anti-American under-tones (which doesn't surprise me ....that would be the fashion these days) - but you do raise some interesting questions.
I don't think the Bush administration will take the US into Iran unless the UN says so first - it would be political suicide otherwise.
Of course the Iranian government wants nuclear weapons Iran believes that if it acquires nuclear weapons, the western world will be forced to "respect" their extremist Islamic state. Why should Iran be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons?
Put simply, because President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a terrorist. The Theocratic Islamic Republic of Iran is a terrorist state with a terrorist leader - it is a dangerous country, not only to the US and the west, but also to most of it's neighboring countries and especially to non-shi'a Muslims. |
