Of course, the previous post IS NOT to say that SOMETHING won’t have to be done about Iran and its nutwagon president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. To wit:
Iran is now a “nuclear power,” its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, delcared Wednesday, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.
During a speech delivered in the Western Iranian province of Javanroud, Ahmadinejad said: “The Islamic Republic of Iran is now a nuclear power, thanks to the hard work of the Iranian people and authorities.”
The announcement of Iran as a “nuclear power” is bound to significantly escalate tensions between the West and Iran, and marks a dramatic stage in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear campaign.
In recent days, the US military has begun to build up forces around the Gulf, in what is being seen as as a warning to Iran.
Ahmadinejad was also reported to have announced that “Iranian young scientists reached the zenith of science and technology and gained access to the nuclear fuel cycle without the help of big powers.”

The Iranian news agency reported that, during his speech in western Iran, the Iranian president said that the US, Britain and Israel are doomed to disappear.
“The aggressive forces will vanish, while the Iranian people will survive – since all who chose God will survive and those who distance themselves from God vanish like Pharaoh,” said Ahmadinejad in his speech.
“The US, Britain, and the Zionist regime will vanish since they have distanced themselves from God. This is a divine promise,” he added.
Ahmadinejad also referred to the international motion towards imposing sanctions on Iran for refusing to put an end to it’s nuclear program. “They threaten us with punishments. But they must know that nuclear energy is the Iranian people’s right, and they will insist on that right,” he explained.
