I
have read several blogs in recent days protesting against the war-mongering by
George W. Bush against Iran. Just want to
counterbalance that by saying that his Iranian colleague is just as bad. Today, Iran launched a rocket into
space carrying a cargo for research. They have also refused to halt their
nuclear development programme. Both activities are claimed to be for peaceful
purposes, but I want to remind readers of president Ahmadinajad's stated
intention to destroy the state of Israel Combining rockets with
possible nuclear weapons would make that quite feasible.
However, diplomacy should be given priority over the bullet and the bomb,
particularly as the Iranian leadership appears to be quite divided on this
issue. The rocket launch did not elicit huge expressions of joy in Iran, and open dissent is
being voiced.
George W. needs to remember that the USA has had a bloody nose
from Iran back in
1979, when president Carter ordered a rescue-mission to free hostages held at
the American embassy in Tehran. It failed dismally.
As I have said before about the Middle East, violence does not solve
any problems they have. It just makes them worse.

I think isareal has its own nuclear. Others countries wants it too because it would make them stronger and there would be less abuse towards them. This is what possessing nuclear does, it is like you become a stronger partner rather than remaining a victim of who ever says has the power to exploit. Every one knows that Israel is not affraid to launch their nuclear if they feel threatened, so I don't think anyone would attempt this, but Iran wants its independance obviously. Hard to discuss against...

I agree wholeheartedly. I think the vast majority of Americans have had enough of George Dubyah and his gung ho attitude.

Bush really doesn`t want to get too threatening toward Iran, despite the posturing by it`s President. It`s talks we want not war.
