A little bit too late for that. I belive that USA has already taken this role already.
Why dont the USA go disarm India and Pakistan - both Military Powers with Nuclear Weapon capabilities?
Simple question with a simple answer. India and Pakistan are a threat to each other not the United States, both are semi-allies to the US. If you are a threat to the US then getting nukes becomes much more difficult.
“In Tehran, as August began, the Islamic Republic's supreme guide Ali Khamenei was answering questions from a hundred or so Islamic guidance officials, home from foreign postings for retraining. Most of his answers were trite slogans, but when he was asked, "Is our Islamic Republic at war against the United States," he paused before replying. "It is the United States that is at war against our Islamic Revolution."

Iran today is a scary nation bent on the destruction of the west and ultimately world domination. They don’t even try to hide their agenda to convert the world to Islam and destroy the west.
“If you [Americans] behave with disrespect even just a little bit, [the Iranian people] will punch you in the mouth so hard that all your devouring teeth will fall out.” So warned Iran's Ayatollah Mohammad Ememi-Kashani …”
After reading more, this threat is TAME compared to the other stuff I found. Check some of these:
“Another recent call against the U.S. came from Ayatollah Ahmad Janati, the Secretary of the Guardian Council. In response to a crowd of thousands yelling “Death to America,” he exclaimed, “Allah willing, as soon as possible, may the Lord hasten their death….”
“Another anti-American music video which appeared on IRINN-TV on August 12, 2004, produced by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, was titled “The Scheme of Thais,” referring to a Greek courtesan who joined Alexander the Great and persuaded him to set fire to Persepolis. The video shows the Statue of Liberty as the incarnation of Thais, calling her a “she demon” and “the anti-Christ.” The Statue of Liberty morphs into a skeleton with American flag eyes, with a voice in the background singing: “America, Enemy of God…America the mad demon.” As the U.S. flag burns the song continues, with the words “light the pure flames to destroy the serpent…America is the enemy of God…America is the mad demon…O men of the seven continents, awake! awake! Light the pure flames to destroy the serpents; This impure octopus with seven heads…must be killed.”
They make videos and TV shows demonizing everything that is American and western. They teach their populace and children to hate from their very first words and thoughts. THIS IS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED!
“To mark the 26th anniversary of Iran's Islamic Revolution, on February 10, 2005, a contest covered by IRINN-TV was held in Tehran, to see who could burn the best effigy of President Bush.
It was part of the Revolution anniversary parade, and as the reporter covering it explained, “this contest was held in response to the U.S. President's babbling.” Effigy makers were shown presenting their effigies to judges, while those in the audience yelled, “Death to America.”
When was the last time you saw people in the streets of the USA burning ANY nations flag and chanting death to them?
I am no fan of Dubya, but to brun a leaders effigy in the streets as a contest? Who does that? EVIL nations do that, that’s who.
And how about this excerpt regarding a quote from an Iranian military leader:
“When viewing Iranian TV, one gets the impression that the Iranian governing mullahs are mobilizing for confrontation with the U.S. For instance, on February 10, 2005, on Jaam-E-Jam1, deputy head Iranian Revolutionary Guards General Zol-Qadr said: “The events in the Middle East…were a great opportunity for us to get to know the American methods, strategies, doctrines, and tactics…Americans are our greatest security challenge. Thus, we have been able to prepare for a confrontation with the American threat. We even know the American commanders' state of mind, and this is very influential in wars. Their behavioral patterns are well known to us, and this increases our maneuvering ability against the American threat. I can tell the Iranian public, with full confidence, that there is no threat that our armed forces cannot identify and confront with all their might…”
Um….He outright states they have planned an attack on the USA. They have performed their reconnaissance and are simply awaiting the word to go. I wonder if that “word” will correspond with their ability to hit the continental USA with a nuclear tipped missile? Reading this stuff makes you wonder.
Read this next long one:
“In Tehran, as August began, the Islamic Republic's supreme guide Ali Khamenei was answering questions from a hundred or so Islamic guidance officials, home from foreign postings for retraining. Most of his answers were trite slogans, but when he was asked, "Is our Islamic Republic at war against the United States," he paused before replying. "It is the United States that is at war against our Islamic Revolution."
However, Khamenei's own newspaper was even more direct. Writing this July, it said, "the White House's 80 years of exclusive rule are likely to become 80 seconds of hell that will burn to ashes. Those who resist Iran will be struck from directions they never expected."
To these facts add that an Arab newspaper published in London and Beirut reported that an Iranian intelligence unit has established a center called "The Brigades of the Shahids of the Global Islamic Awakening," controlled by a Revolutionary Guards intelligence officer, Hassan Abbasi. The newspaper has a tape recording of Abbasi when he spoke of Iran's secret plans, which include "a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization."
Missile strikes
To bring this about, Abbasi said, "There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them." This Revolutionary Guard officer continued by saying, "Iran's missiles are now ready to strike at Western targets, and as soon as the instructions arrive from Ali Khamenei, we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations."
Um…"a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization."??? How many of you don’t see why Iran is a problem? I read this last excerpt as an open plan to destroy the west. And outright proclamation!!!
After reading some of this stuff, Iran has basically declared war on the USA and anything non Islamic.
Iran wants a world dominated by extreme Islamic leaders at all costs. How can we alow this nation of terror nuclear weapon capability?
How can you justify it? They have basically said out loud they want to destroy the west. These arent hollow words, they mean it!

Maybe this is all just a huge coincidence, but anyone also notice how the Iranian army marches in their parades for the Ayatollah? Yep, you guessed it, they use the goose-step.
What is it about this ridiculous-looking marching style that makes the world's worst tyrants seem to love it so?

Reading again and again this type of 'my dick is bigger than yours' thread is getting annoying.

Liar! THIS is what Ayatollah Khamenei said:
The shameless arrogance and rudeness has gone so far that it has given rise to such comments that Iran does not need nuclear technology. This is none of your business," he told a gathering in the southern city of Kerman.
"You do not have the right to judge if a nation needs nuclear energy or not," he said.
The following are excerpts from a Friday sermon at Tehran University by Ayatollah Mohammad Ememi-Kashani The sermon was aired by Channel 1 of the Iranian TV on January 28, 2005:
Ayatollah Mohammad Ememi-Kashani: If you [Americans] behave with disrespect – even just a little bit – [the Iranian people] will punch you in the mouth so hard that all your devouring teeth will fall off.
Crowd: Allah Akbar.
Allah Akbar.
Allah Akbar.
Khamenei is the leader.
Death to those who oppose the rule of the jurisprudence.
Death to America.
Death to England.
Death to the hypocrites [Mojahedin-e Khalq] and Saddam.
Death to Israel.
Ayatollah Mohammad Ememi-Kashani: One young Iranian is worth all you [Americans]. He smiles at your weapons. Is he afraid? We hope that by the virtue of Muhammad and his household, God will give some brains to the arrogant, the enemies, and to the Zionists.

I can come up with Ann Coulter quotes (someone who has been on national TV many times) that would curl your hair, but it's hardly proof that the US as a whole is a bunch of bloodthirsty ghouls waiting for an excuse to flatten cities.

Well, not always..but if you have a few minutes watch this one to the end, it is more than a little disturbing and on topic. A little slow at first but speeds up in 'point' rather quickly (I'll continue to look for the one with the english subtitles, that makes it all the better)
