And now, a brief commentary from Captain Obvious...

CNN.com - Iran official threatens to hide nuke program - Apr 25, 2006

"If you take the first step wrong, the wrong trend will continue. We welcome any logical proposal to resolve the issue. They just need to say why should we suspend," Larijani said.


BECAUSE WE CANNOT TRUST YOU FUNDAMENTALIST MANIACS FROM NOT TAKING YOUR TECHNOLOGY AND GIVING IT TO TERRORISTS WHERE THEY CAN NOT ONLY JUST THREATEN THE UNITED STATES, BUT THE REST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD! That's why.

Duh!

Anyone who honestly thinks that Iran is pursuing nuclear technology for the sole purpose of running power plants needs to get a large dose of common sense. These are the same people (their president, anyway) that threatened to wipe Israel off the map. These are the same people who have had a SECRET program since not long after the Islamic revolution ("Suspicions about Iran's intentions have grown since it was discovered in 2002 that Tehran had for two decades secretly operated large-scale nuclear activities that could be used in weapons making.") and then claim to have "openly launched its nuclear program."

The leadership of Iran are more full of shit than our politicians. They're so full of shit, if we were to use that shit to fertilize crops, we could solve world hunger five times over. I'm not a generally hawkish individual, but I would support bombing the living bejeezus out of these nutjobs IF ONLY to ensure the rest of the world remains safe (or at least safer) from the prospect of jihadists running around with suitcase nukes. After Iraq, I realize this may put me way in the minority, but so be it. I'm not saying we should go bomb them now...but I'm not adverse to it if it becomes necessary.

And we're quickly approaching that point now.

Iran is led by liars with a thinly-veiled ambition. We cannot allow them even the slightest chance to develop nuclear weapons. If, on the other hand, they actually DID understand and empathise with the concept of MAD (mutually-assured destruction) and behaved like a responsible country, then I think if they can build it, they should have a defensive nuclear arsenal, just like all the "big boys." It would be hypocritic otherwise. But, the sad fact is, Iran cannot be trusted. Hell, even Russia--Iran's friend and one of the two Security Council members threatening to veto sanctions on Iran--allowed the launch of an Israeli spy satellite from Russian soil! Iran just has to live with the consequences of behaving like an irresponsible regime.

Period.

PS: I would pay big money to see President Bush yell out my "answer" above (the one in caps) on national TV. Big, big money. Damn the diplomatic answers. Call it like it is, I say.

Perhaps that's why I should never run for public office...
