You know, I'm coming more and more to feel that Iran is going to develop its nuclear weapons and it is going to use them. The rulers there have shown themselves to be utterly ruthless in retaining power - they're now talking about "legally" executing anyone who challenges their position - and no excess seems to be beyond them. Even Russia, which initially publicly expressed its congratulations and support for the election "result" are now backing off. The major world conflict has been for centuries Islam against everyone else (despite the weasel words they utter about peace and friendship - just look at their actions) and in the 20th century it was slowly coming to a head. I'm not talking about the masses, because even more than Germany in the 20's and 30's these people have shown themselves to be very easily led, even if straight over the nearest cliff - I'm talking about the people in charge. Now there exist weapons with a destructive force utterly unimaginable prior to the 20th century, and these maniacs have access to them. Of course they're going to get them, and of course they're going to use them. Unless they're stopped.
