[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Da_bang80: [qb] Anyone here believe the Iranian government when they say that it's only for energy production? [/qb][/QUOTE]It generates exactly the energy Iran's leader wants- [i]political[/i] energy. Iran has been trying to make itself into the leader of the arab world for some time now: that means it's chief goal is to provoke both the US and Israel into attacking them- politically or otherwise (or the public's perception of an inpending/inevitible conflict) so that public support can solidify behind their current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It's not only the Bush administration that uses public fear of forigners as a political tool. Check today's news: Rumsfeld is calling any plans to attack Iran "fantasyland", but common sense indicates that every country intrested has a plan to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Not that Iran would not looove to have a nuke- it would make them the defacto head of all arab countries as their sole superpower. My best guess is that Israel will airstrike select Iranian military targets (knocking Iran's nuclear programs back only a few years to a decade, but forgoing an all-out war), the US will not [i]officially[/i] condone the attack, but will certainly not condemn Israel for defending itself either, and Iran can all itself a victim of Western aggression (thus assuring the status quo and the Cleric's control of every aspect of all Iranian's lives). Everybody wins. <small>except those killed in the attacks, [i]and[/i] those motivated toward terrorism by the attacks and anyone hoping for any freedom in Iran [i]and[/i] US foreign policy in the region [i]and[/i]... But what do [i][b]I[/b][/i] know? The NSA no longer responds to [i]my[/i] observations... <small>(and after I went to all the trouble of cutting and pasting all the letters from diffrent magazines and newspapers too...)<small> [/QB][/QUOTE]
