  • Isn't the real ...

    Isn't the real answer to your question: What about Iranian support for Hizbola and Hamas, which have committed plenty of terrorist acts since 1996? Bob makes a lot of good points and has a lot of insights, but I agree with you that he mispoke about Iran being out of the terror game since '96.

  • Didn't Akmadinijad ...

    Didn't Akmadinijad say that Israel should be wiped off the map? That doesn't sound like someone I would want in change of a nuke.

    Iran deserves the kind of country they want, but not at the expense of others. I don't believe Iran is at a place right now, were they could be responsible with a nuke.
