    The big difference is that Iran is run by a fucking lunatic. You may disagree with much of what Israel does, as do I, but Iran is run by a nutcase dictator who sees it as his duty to bring about the end of the world. That man should not under any circumstances be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

    Israel appears to be heading along that path too right now. They are both quite unhinged. Weapons should be taken off of the both of them. To allow one to have them above the other is unjustified.

    There is a huge difference between Ahmadinejad and any mainstream Israeli leader. They're incomparable.

    I agree that Ahmadinejad is a loose cannon, but that doesn't escape the fact that Israel is the only nation in the region right now willing to step beyond loose rhetoric and actually use force to bully it's weak neighbors. You say they are incomparable, but I disagree.

    Ahmadinejad is always running his mouth about this and that, but he never does anything about it. The region would better off nuclear free and that includes Israel too.

    Ahmadinejad has never threatened military action on Israel. And he's got zero control over foreign policy or the Iranian army, that's down to the clerics who've consistently said that Iran would never attack any other country unless attacked first. Ahmadinejad is like the mayor of Iran. He runs the country, the clerics rule the nation.

    Yep, totally agree Kirkland. Hating the Israeli's is far different than going all out to actually invade and try to destroy them. Obviously Iran doesn't have the power to do that and wouldn't be so brazen. The only way a conflict starts is if Israel itself once again goes off the handle.

    And I saw that the UN passed new harsher sanctions on Iran yeserday and that the US spent a good five months putting the package together. What a charade. The US has veto'ed how many resolutions against Israel since the early '70's? And yet sanctions are handed out to other less than moral regimes like confetti. Iraq, North Korea, Iran and so on Why no sanctions for the Saudi's? And far more importantly why no sanctions on the Israeli's? Oh, because America dictates things at the end of the day and we should like Israel. Interesting how most international terrorism comes out of Washington and most middle east terrorism comes from Israel. A lot of common bonds there. That and the powerful Jewish lobby in the States. I guess there isn't much of an Iranian lobby.

    And some softies think Iran are the dangerous ones? Get the propaganda out of yer ears! Two states are armed up to the eyes with the most sophisticated weaponry (frequently shared between them) in this world and Iran isn't one of them. Iran poses far less a risk to the world than either one of those well armed states.
