Yea, but they are being disrespectful to the so called "Established order".. ie the West.
So the obvious answer is to alienate and destroy them.
Simple really.

A little research and fact checking goes a long way to dispel urban legends and misconstrued beliefs.
I'll add this to my list of favorite posts, to refer the ignorant to; whenever they rear their heads.

Two wars in the last 40 years instigated by multiple nations against Israel and now you're saying that Iran's being picked on? Did you not see the fallout after the elections?
There's an adage that goes something like this; if every nation in the middle east laid down their arms, there would be no more war. If Israel laid down their arms, there would be no more Israel.
Color me anti-PC, a neo-con nutjob or anything else, but if ever there was a country on this Earth that has the right to be paranoid to the point of unilateralism about it's neighbors, it's Israel.

Question #1.........
You're right, he didn't say that in that context. But we all know what he meant.
Com'n, take your head outta your butt.
Question #2....
Oh because they signed a peice of paper, they won't provide nuclear material to "other nations".... 1st off, that doesn't mean the won't... 2ndly, why would they need to provide this to other countries when Hezzbollah is right in their own nation?

For one, there's over two thousand years of precedent for it (Egyptians/Israelites, Israelites/Caananites, Israel and pretty much every other tribe that bordered the Mediterranean), two, Jerusalem is the religious center for two of the three major world religions and most Arab nations don't want to share, and three there have been two instances of other middle eastern nations wanting Israel "gone" in the last 40 years alone... ever hear of the six-day war? The Yom-Kippur war? In each instance, you had the Jordanians (except in '73), the Syrians, the Egyptians and the Palestianians outright attack Israel on multiple fronts and I doubt it was with the intention of leaving any of the Israelis around, you get what I'm saying? Simply put, to deny that the Israelis have been assaulted by nations intent on wiping Israel off the map, or for that matter, that Achmudinejad's comments could be taken any other way, is to deny historical fact.

I understand every country has black ops and I expect Iran does as well. But why should we attack Iran over their black ops versus any other country? Just because Bush started preemptively attacking targets doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. We should have all learned that from Iraq where the reasons we went to war where not based on any solid information.
