Anyone who thinks Iran is pursuing Nuclear Power for peaceful purposes is insane.

President Shimon Peres makes first comments on reports of Egyptian efforts against Iranian-backed Hizbullah infrastructure in Egypt, saying, 'They are fighting without us, and this is good...Sooner or later world will realize Iran has colonial ambitions'
Iranian sources report two key developments in the standoff over Iran's nuclear drive: Tehran effectively rejected the latest offer by the five UN Security Council permanent members plus Germany of nuclear negotiations with direct US involvement. This shut the door on US president Barack Obama's first diplomatic gambit for direct dialogue with Tehran.
Peres went on to call Hizbullah "an Iranian agent," and called its chief, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, "a man who wraps himself in sheikh's robes, yet is willing to kill." - "Soon, the world will realize," he repeated.
President Shimon Peres said on Monday that a clash between Iran and the Sunni nations of the Arab world was "inevitable." "The collision between the Middle East, which is Sunni Arab, and the Iranian minority that seeks to take it over, is inevitable," said Peres.
Iran provides weapons and training to terrorist organizations inside and outside of Israel, such as Hizballah and Hamas.
Organizations who employ terrorism and irregular warfare against Israeli military personnel and civilians.
As far as I am concerned, Israel already has all the justification they need to flatten Iran like a pancake. The amount of restraint they have show to this point has been remarkable.
that the US administration, working with Russia and the Euro-weenies will somehow "talk" the Islamo-fascists in Iran into seeing some sense.
It's probably a good thing that the Shiite nut jobs in Tehran hate the Wahhabi nut jobs in Al Qaeda as much as we do.
Had they not been hating each other so much, no doubt Iran would have (very stupidly) given Al Qaeda weapons and support to conduct terror attacks against the US and UK by now, which in turn would have caused us to flatten them like a pancake by now.
If Israel is threatened with complete destruction, they have every right to strike first.
So what did Ahmadinejad actually say? To quote his exact words in farsi:
"Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad."
That passage will mean nothing to most people, but one word might ring a bell: rezhim-e. It is the word "Regime", pronounced just like the English word with an extra "eh" sound at the end. Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the country or Israel the land mass, but the Israeli regime. This is a vastly significant distinction, as one cannot wipe a regime off the map. Ahmadinejad does not even refer to Israel by name, he instead uses the specific phrase "rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods" (regime occupying Jerusalem).
So this raises the question.. what exactly did he want "wiped from the map"? The answer is: nothing. That's because the word "map" was never used. The Persian word for map, "nagsheh", is not contained anywhere in his original farsi quote, or, for that matter, anywhere in his entire speech. Nor was the western phrase "wipe out" ever said. Yet we are led to believe that Iran's President threatened to "wipe Israel off the map", despite never having uttered the words "map", "wipe out" or even "Israel".
America DOES have the ability to shut down Iran, Irans Nuclear facilities, its military, communications and just about anything else without putting one boot or nuke on the ground. All this could be done with minimal loss to the US forces and inside 2 months.

Really? So, if a man comes up to you and says that he plans to kill you, you don't have the right to hit him first? What is that guy was walking over to a place you know he has a gun hidden, you should just wait for him to get it before you use you gun first?
Hey JanusFIN, you never answered my question in that other thread you started? Is it you mission in life to start thread about Israel in order to spread your anti-Semitism? Every thread you start have one purpose and one purpose only, to attack Israel. Do you work for Tehran? Are you in a Madrassa?
Bobbylove, name a single war that Israel started? Name just one and you get a gold star.
Its funny, one anti-Semite (usually JanusFIN) starts an anti-Israel thread, and the same cast of characters always join the discussion to say the same anti-Israel non-sense in every thread. The same posters say the same things every time. You know who you are people. How about something original?
Iran has already struck first, with Ahmajackoff stating the goal of Israel being wiped off the map.
Those are fighting words, a declaration of intent.
So now that Iran has indicated their intent, Israel may opt to do a preemptive strike to preserve their threatened state,
Let me clue you in. When you threaten the existence of someone, then you better already be shooting.
And yet they SLAUGHTERED their foes.

Where the hell are you getting this from seriously? The UN states Israel is responsible far reprehensible war crimes in Gaza, does Israel have the right to wipe out the UN now?
After all they're claiming the government of Israel are war criminals...
