Iran - The Bad Neighbor

So how would you feel if your neighbor, across the street, went to the press and publicly said they wanted to wipe you off the face of the planet?

Prior to that police reports said your neighbor was building above and below ground shelters in their back yard. It was believed that your neighbor was fabricating, and then stockpiling, shoulder launched missiles. There were even photos taken from a police helicopter which were sufficient to issue search warrants.

Unfortunately, on the next flyover the "proof" of the buildings where the missile building was said to be going on, where removed. Now your neighbor says all he was doing was doing some experiments for his hobby, which was designing scale model windmills for electrical generation. So the police couldn't follow through.

Your neighbor has always been very vocal about how much he hates you, your family and anyone who claims to be your friend. So while you have very good reason to believe that he will follow through with his threats, the rest of your neighbors aren't supporting at all. They've heard the threats so many times, they are desensitized to them. Even though this same neighbor once kidnaped members of your family keeping them for almost a year. If that wasn't enough, this obviously insane neighbor also regularly sends money to terrorist organizations.

One neighbor who has supported your side, now has to deal with paid assassins and terrorists attacking them, and actually killing members of their family. But that would happen anyway, just because as Christians your neighbor considers them "infidels."

It's ridiculous to assume that simply because your neighbor hasn't yet killed you or your family, that he won't do so at the first opportunity.

This is the position that Israel is in, and through them, the United States also. Iran has made it's intentions clear, and they are trying to become a nuclear power as soon as possible.

Unfortunately our discovering Iran’s nuclear facilities, only resulted in them going underground with their programs. Since then, they have continued to go back and forth between denying that they have any nuclear weapons program, to saying their program is for nuclear power only, to saying they will do whatever they want.

Anyone that believes that the forth largest oil producer in the world, needs or would even consider a nuclear program to actually generate electric power, is either ignorant or just stupid. The only kind of power Iran's nuclear program will generate is the power of a nuclear bomb. The power to destroy. To say that any who believes Iran's lies are in denial would be an understatement. Iran does not need a nuclear power plant.

Just like the fictional family above, we get little to no support in fighting terrorists, while protecting innocent people who are being attacked and murdered, almost on a daily basis in Iraq. Telling us that we should just leave Iraq would result in the terrorists (not "insurgents" terrorists) taking over again. If Sadam were still in power, many thousands more Iraqi citizens, and who knows who else would be dead.

Sadam was clearly a mass murderer who inflicted the worst type of terror on his own citizens. But–we are to believe that the threats of an insane regime governed by religious fanatics.
