I say, judging from the link that Vladimir provided us with Achmadenijad's
speech at the Tehran conference, that they are primarily a threat to Isreal. If so, isn't this Isreal's problem? Undoubtedly, the Bush administration is wanting to ratchet up the stakes by claiming that they threaten the entire region. Why must evrything that is Isreal's problem become an issue of life or death for us in the States? When I see Iranian soldiers or suicide bombers trying to infiltrate the US, then I'll be willing to do plenty to defend this country from them. As much as I am for the survival of Isreal, I do not think I owe them my blood any more than they do me.

If they have been making these threats for 28 years, than why are they all of a sudden such a big threat? It seems that they are nothing more than a sounding brass bell to me.

Cordially,
