Ever heard of nuclear deterrent? MAD? The Cold War?
America being bad isn't the issue, it's about who will use nuclear weapons if they have them. I'm not saying Iran will or won't, merely answering your point about "If Iran can't have them neither should the US".
Iran's ability to wage war isn't being removed, just their ability to acquire nuclear weapons prevented.

Where's there's oil they can't control ... there's a problem for the US

If I went out and did that, I would (SHOULD) be locked away for years, if not for ever. That's exactly what should happen to the US, metaphorically speaking. It doesn't matter whether Iran is "evil" or not (personally I'd agree that it sounds like a horrible place to live in and an evil government) but no other country has the right to play police.
Has he ? When and where did that happen ?
I don`t think "Iran" can say anything but I`ll assume you are repeating Disillusioned`s claim.
Maybe you can help ?
When and where did that happen ?
Again, when and where did this happen ?
Legal "rights" isn`t much of a fetish of mine, but on the balance of probabilities I`d say that the ones most likely to shoot me at this moment in space-time are the ones with the legal "rights" to own/carry one.
You can call it what you like, but three people have made the same claim with what seems like a fair degree of certitude.
Maybe just one of them will help me out with evidence of the said claim.
All it took was a little Google search...
Anyway. NOw I'm loll'ed out... yeah right. The US ain't going to attack Iran.
And so he said he was going to wipe Israel off the map. I've threatened to cut my mates nuts off... I ain't going to do it.
Bush promised to restore order in the Middle East. He ain't going to do it, and he never planned to.
Yawn indeed.
So shall I repeat my alleged spamming question to Ali Akbar Dareini of Associated Press or will you do it for me ?
You're fucking weird, you know that?
That comment could be construed as derailing the thread.
You could start a new one.
Meanwhile could someone show me the evidence ?
I thought you'd enjoy this Seeker. I can't watch it myself, because I'm at work, but someone else can and report back for me?
And this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FckLO8HcNyo&mode=related&search=
Would you trust me to report back ?
As a film fan, do you appreciate the classics ?
If so, would I be right in thinking Emmanuel Goldstein played the lead in the original of this ?
Really what are you doing? Armed robbery?
Now the chances of you being shot by anyone is pretty low, but I'd say the biggest likelihood of anyone shooting you is someone you know, followed by a criminal, followed by the police, followed by the armed forces.
If you look at the number of shootings is this country, statistically the police are pretty low down and the army lower still
I`d say the action of compliance is "the biggest likelihood" when someone is threatened with superior weaponry.
That may have a bearing on your statistics.
Can't say I've seen it. Or read the book. But I hear the film isn't anywhere near as good as the book.
I was right - you're an armed robber....
Google the quote and you'll find about 89324823487238794 hits instead of asking the same fucking question three times.
And ?
You are not asking me to ask the alleged 89324823487238794 people you claim have heard him say it, are you ?
Assuming you are not exaggerating that number, would any of them be able to answer my question ?
Or would they be making a claim without providing the evidence like you appear to be doing ?
Wasn't that the Americans?
I think that the argument goes - what's to stop the US/UK/Israel/China/France/Pakistan/India/Russia...
Also they weren't diplomats but consular staff (and not protected by diplomatic immunity). Anyway given the events of 1979 its hard for the Iranians to complain about others breaking diplomatic immunity...
I don't think any leader of the named countries has expressed a desire to wipe another country off the map - even in the darkest days of the tensions between India and Pakistan; nothing comes close to the rhetoric of Iran's president.
That there is nothing to stop Russia, the UK, France or any other nuclear power does not make it acceptable for the extremist leader of a hostile power to acquire nuclear weapons. A nuclear Iran is not in the interests of the region - and given the hostile nature of Iran, a nuclear Iran would be a potential threat to Europe.
But the EU and UN can dither. And European and American liberals can appease all they want. But lets face facts, anybody who thinks Israel is ever going to tolerate a nuclear Iran is deluded.
Just a thought, like.
Probably so.
But Israel seems to be immune from anything and everything. Criticism and international law.
Much like the US is immune from international law, come to that.
You seem to be implying that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that.
I have no record of it but then my farsi isn`t too good.
Could you enlighten me with when and where ?
If it`s a big secret why not pm me, and I will confirm it publically.
