Ahmadinejad is just a puppet ... according to Iran's laws he has a boss. The real leader in Iran (and commander in chief of the military) is not Ahmadinejad - it's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. And while Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is completely against Israel and the US, it's doubtful he would seek to acquire, or use nuclear weapons against Israel.
It's already a done deal anyway. We and the EU are doing exactly what the US and England did to Japan before the attack on Pearl Harbor. We and other nations are now going to blockade Iran's ports and squeeze them to the point where Iran will have no choice but to attack. Then we'll say, "see, I told you so."
Just a matter of time.
Let negotiations continue. Forget about the puppet and appeal to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the real power of Iran - the people. Blockades and sanctions are only going to hurt the people of Iran, not Ahmadinejad. Negotiating with Iran isn't a sign of weakness, so long as there is no appeasement.
Remember: Negotiation does NOT equal Appeasement.
We all know who the real power is in Iran. and we should all know that the president of Iran is the mouthpiece of the power there.
You assume a great deal when you say the ahatolla wont attack Israel. More than I am willing to.
You also are working with a revised history of WW2 my friend. One I dont recognize. Short of joining the Axis, America was always going to be a target for Japan.
Lets just roll with the understanding that we view this all very very differently.

Did we not enforce a blockade of Japan?
What would the US do if another country enforced a blockade of its borders?
Matthew 24:6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

my friend I do appreciate your providing us with this scripture.
alas, if i were to find us a time machine and set it to go back in time a decade at a time, each stop would land us in a period where there were wars and rumors of war.... all the way back to the time of Christ.... yea even back to the day Cain killed Able.

We both know the answer to these.
so you suggest that the attack on Pearl Harbor was simply a result of our agression and part of a greater plan the Japanese had to dominate the pacific?
I think the evidence suggests otherwise.

This week, Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard insinuated that President Bush might launch an attack against Iran should Barack Obama be poised to win the presidency.
This thread was 2008!!!! George Bush was president!!! They wanted to attack Iran? Seriously? What are these guys placed on the hit list for every president? Good grief
