Ahmadinejad refuses to rule out nuclear weapons.

It would be naive to think that his nuclear program was only for "peaceful" purposes.

I think the program is there to extract concessions out of European nations in particular. I think if they think they can use these weapons without retaliation, they wouldnt hesitate. But the meer threat and existence of these weapons is achieving a lot for Iran.

Sorry, but I can't believe when he says it's only for 'peaceful purposes'.

"Peaceful" extortion from his neighbors, perhaps.

Of course he has no desire to use them peaceful purposes. He is a mad man who wants to see Israel removed from the map. I also would not hold it against him to try and gain more land in the ME.

I seriously doubt that Israel has a "death to Iran" mindset, as opposed to Ahma-nutjob's vision of a utopian islamic world ruled by a single person (he's graciously offered to be the first) by whatever means nessecary...

I think he'd refuse to listen if we tried. I think he wants us to negotiate for personal gains.

Hmm, can't say I'm surprised. Maybe the Clerics (Ayatollah?) influenced him with this (I think they have more power in the government than he does, please correct me if I'm wrong). Still, we might have to keep an eye on Iran, least US and the UK (not sure about the rest of the UN, but I'm not holding them to high standards).

The main problem facing Isreals' preemptive strike on Irans nuclear facilities may be the current American Democratic Congress. I would not be surprised to see the more liberal congressmen try to push to defend Irans' airspace and nuclear plants by force. There is a growing anti-Isreal sentiment in the administration and Democratic party. It would be a terrible thing for America to shoot down another democratic nations aircraft in their attempt to defend themselves against another holocaust.
