Not sure if you can connect Iran's nuclear ambitions to Ahma-dude's statements just like that. Does the president control the nuclear project or do the clerics? Apparently, even the clerics are annoyed by Ahma-geezer's provocative talk.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

Well, that's not saying much, I mean

Exactly, I'm agreeing with you.
They probably wanted to keep things quietly - and then stealth-nuked you...

Khamenei controls the military, so any military applications and the use of nukes would be under his direct control as he is head of state.Originally posted by Colon

Iran's top nuclear negotiator actually is on bad terms with Ahmadinejad, and he has had a tought time gettng a government working- the establishment in Iran is not enthused by him. Hell, he still hasn't been able to get a whole cabinet approved by the Legislature.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Bit more subtle, but also bit more realistic: they know bloody well you can't talk or act irresponsibly like that without repercussions. Let's not forget Ahma-guy is an anti-establishment figure. Which brings us to the question who controls the nuclear project. If it's the clerics, I don't think all that much changed since before Ahma-fellow became prez. (which is not necessarily a good thing of course, but not as bad as Ahma-rhetorics would make it seem)Originally posted by MOBIUS

Aside of rhetorics, Ahma-hombre hasn't actually been doing a lot in real actions it seems so I wouldn't get all panicky for now.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

An Irani nuke is no direct threat to Israel. Has everybody forgot about MAD?
If Saddam was afraid to launch chemical weapons on Israel, while he was under attack by the coalition in 1990, why would Iran strike out of the blue?
Iran's president's rethoric is for internal use. There is no better way to silence internal opposition (to the mullah's) then to point at an external enemy. Striking at Iran will strengthen the grip of the mullah's and fanatical nutjobs."post reported"Winston, on the barricades for freedom of speech

we were lucky that MAD worked for so long.. but it was really close to failling many many times.. and the results would have been catostrophic if it had
right now the only MAD relationship is India/Pakistan.. and we should be doing all we can to end that
MAD isn't a stable equilibrium, it is unstable, and can end at anytime
I don't want to move back towards a MAD world.. I want nukes to be shelved, I want protection against nukes (if possible), I want countries that call for others to cease to exist not to have nukes

Shelfing nukes is a nice dream, but it's not going to happen. the #1 Mr. Nuke wants more of them, so there is no way the rest of the world is going to sit idle.
India, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran... They are only the tip of the iceberg. Many more will follow."post reported"Winston, on the barricades for freedom of speech
