Rep Power: 366 | | | Meeting on Arms Data Reignites Iran Nuclear Debate

Last Monday, the chief United Nations nuclear inspector gathered ambassadors and experts from dozens of nations in a boardroom high above the Danube in Vienna and laid out a trove of evidence that he said raised new questions about whether Iran had tried to design an atom bomb.
Graphic For more than two hours, representatives to the International Atomic Energy Agency were riveted by documents, sketches and even a video that appeared to have come from Iran’s own military laboratories. The inspector said they showed work “not consistent with any application other than the development of a nuclear weapon,” according to notes taken by diplomats.
The presentation caught no one’s attention more than the Iranian representatives in the room, who deny Iran is developing atomic weapons. As they whipped out cellphone cameras to photograph the screen, Iran’s ambassador, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, nearly shouting, called the evidence baseless fabrications, the diplomats said, and warned that the agency was going down “a very dangerous road.”
Suddenly, the confrontation with Iran had reignited.

lol. 
Anyways , the cat is out of the box now. As long as Ahmedinajad is President then its no worry. Why do I say this? That's because he doesn't have the balls to fire a nuke. But IF the Mullahs make him step down and come to power then its a different ball game altogether.

Rep Power: 4 | | | I can see why an end of Israeli occupation, and more discussion between the US and Iran would frighten... since those are two things Iran has often spoken of (though having been misquoted by their own translator vis a vis "wiping Israel off the map" could be cause for double-checking sources when Iran speaks).
Then again:
Maybe acting in the most provocative and aggressive way towards Iran will help bring peace?
