Regarding Iran, please consider the following:

1st: If Iran acquired and used a nuclear weapon, it literally WOULD BE 'wiped off the map' instantly.

2nd: The issue is always framed to make it seem like Iran is 'anti Jew' rather than 'anti Zionist.' There is a HUGE difference. Zionism is a political movement, like NeoConservatism. As such, a person can oppose the policies of the Zionist-controlled Israeli government without 'hating all Jews,' just as a person can oppose the NeoCons' illegal and murderous 'foreign policy,' without 'hating all Americans.' More importantly, if Iran is so hostile toward Jews, why does Iran have the second largest Jewish population in the Middle East? (Second only to Israel.)

3rd: Even if you accept that Iran is building a 'bomb,' it is totally dishonest to suggest that it intends to use it for anything other than defensive purposes. In fact, some leading Neocons with the American Enterprise Institute actually see this as a PROBLEM...That is, if Iran gets the bomb and DOESN'T use it, those who said it wasn't worth starting another war for will be proven right.
