Iran's plan to end wars in the mid-east
Threats against the country have not deterred Iran's plan to bring lasting peace to the region, nor have UN sanctions.

Sabotage of the computer networks associated with the uranium enrichment program - possibly by the Masad - only set back efforts to build a nuclear bomb by a few months.

Soon Iran will attain the capability to bring long-term peace to the entire region, by blowing it to smithereens.

They'll blow up Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, including all our troops, and themselves in a holy jihad.

Then we will finally have lasting peace in the mid-east.

1. Why don't all countries with nuclear weapons agree to dismantle their entire arsenals in return...
... for Iran agreeing to never develop a nuclear weapon?

2. The current leader (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) would do that, if left unfettered
However, who knows how much power he really has.

And if he would want to do that.

I could see him doing that, turning the area into an uninhabitable wasteland, and the Rapture Ready crowd here, wetting their pants.

Hell, Jerusalem will shine, not because of power or holy electrons, but from RADIATION.....

The madmen are in charge...

3. So you say that Iranians are suicidal?
Because even one nuclear strike against any of those countries, or any other, would be national suicide. The leadership would not survive, wiped out by most of the countries citizens.

So far, of all the nations that have nuclear weapons, including North Korea ran by perhaps one of the craziest Fuckers in the world, only the U.S. ever used them in war. And no one has used them since other nations could retaliate.

So I think your premise is deeply flawed.

I apologize in advance if that was sarcasm sans smilie.

4. I think the plan is to wait it out.
When there's no more oil, there will be peace in the Middle East, unless the lack of income from oil itself provokes conflict.
