Well then - don't I feel stupid?
Sorry about that - I guess it went right over my head. I try to be funny and end up being the joke.
The idea is that the world does NOT need a new nuclear power .. especially in unstable parts of the world.. Imagine if Syria had a nuclear arsenal and during the conflict they are in right now, one of those weapons got into the wrong hands.
The US has actually been shrinking it's nuclear stockpile.. ultimately it would be nice if there were NO nuclear powers in the world... The US had 32,255 warheads in 1967 .. they now currently have 5,113.. which is still more than enough to destroy every living thing on the planet.
But yes you're right.. launching a nuke would have international backlash.. and no sane leader would do that these days... but arm a terrorist group with a nuke and they sure will ... Iran also tends to fight its wars by proxy.. so it wouldn't be hard for me to imagine then "losing" one and one of the groups they provide arms to "finds" it ..

Everything I stated has been splashed all over the news for the last two or three years. Apparently you have missed a lot. Try doing a Google search and you will find plenty of evidence for my claims, including the "twelvers" who are a sub sect of Islam. One of Ahmadinejad's own mullahs has recently claimed to have actually seen and talked to the Mahdi or twelfth imam. And the message he supposedly received from the Mahdi is the same as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been preaching all along about destroying both the little Satan, Israel and the great Satan, the United States. And the only way they will even come close to doing any of that is with nuclear weapons.
Twelver Shi'as cite various references from the Qur'an and reports, or Hadith, from Imam Mahdi and the Twelve Imams with regard to the reappearance of al-Mahdi who would, in accordance with Allah's command, bring justice and peace to the world by establishing Islam throughout the world. Mahdi is reported to have said:
Shi'as believe that Imam al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason. At this time, it is believed, half of the true believers will ride from Yemen carrying white flags to Makkah, while the other half will ride from Karbala, in Iraq, carrying black flags to Makkah. At this time, Imam al-Mahdi will come wielding Allah's Sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane, Zulfiqar (Arabic: ذو الفقار, ðū l-fiqār), the Double-Bladed Sword. He will also come and reveal the texts in his possession, such as al-Jafr and al-Jamia.
Shi'as believe that Jesus will also come (after Imam Mahdi's re-appearance) and follow the Imam Mahdi to destroy tyranny and falsehood and to bring justice and peace to the world.

im sorry - but you re a shill, Sir.
..you were but using the wnd hoaxers to present your ' twelvers/mahdi ' excuse.
Which is a hoax, as well.
Since both sides - fabricated 'israel' and this ' leader ' of persia,
are members of the same club:
those, that prepare the way for Osiris
...aka mahdi...aka maitreya....aka false messiah.
its all Controlled Opposition.

Agreed. At least have an argument.
I think HappyKat should be ignored because he/she is from Mars and is poisoning our atmosphere with martian farts.
Do I win?

I don't know anyone personally that has a single doubt that Iran will use their nukes as soon as they have enough of them.
You should try going out a bit more, and meet some new people.
I know plenty of people. You should try being less insulting and rude.
