Reliable info seems to indicate that Iran is not building a bomb. But even if they were, so what?

There is no other country in the ME with a history of no aggressive attacks on its neighbors within the last couple of hundred years. It is totally surrounded by nuclear powers--Israel, India, Pakistan, China and Russia.

Israel's whiny-ass complaining about Iran looks a lot like burglars griping about the possibility of homeowners installing burglar alarms. There is no way that Iran could use a single bomb in an aggressive war--but if it did have the bomb, it would be much harder for other countries to attack them.

Israel doesn't want them to have the bomb because that would take out a chance of them attacking Iran. Israel is more the problem in the middle east than any one other country. They don't want to get along, they want to dictate what others do. Constantly taking Palestinian land to where they've just about got them pushed off to sea. Doing this as if they have a right to it. They think the bible gives them the right to that land and they'll use what ever means it takes to get it and thats the rub I have with them. This is my opinion on this mind you.
I don't do the sky guy thing so to me, and I'm sure many other non religious people, that bible does not make law and should not be used to make law.
If I was Iran I'd be working on a bomb 24/7 just because of the unstable Israel leadership in nuttiyahoo. That man is dangerous to all life on earth, again my opinion.

Israel could try to get along with the others in the region. Well I'm not so sure they can now after all the shit they've stirred up these last 65 plus years..

What is needed in the middle east in my opinion is a Palestinian state and it's borders should be returned at least to the boundaries established in the establishment of the state of Israel. Do that and it would take out a lot of the turmoil in that region. The Palestinian people deserves no less than a recognized state.

All my opinion, nothing more
