Funny how nobody needed a gun until the rapist - the United States - started imposing its unlateral will on other nations. There is good reason why wacko extremists in the American government are called 'big dic' thinkers. Containment worked just fine - especially in Iraq. Suddenly wacko extremists want to fix the world?
Iran had no significant nuclear program until "Axis of Evil". Even the Iranian people were, instead, advocating reform and removal of their wacko extremists. And then the 'big dics' took over in Washington. Suddenly America was going to fix the world as defined a paper that became the basis for Project for a New American Century. Its called pre-emption. Historically, it does not work. Containment worked just fine for everyone except those who rewrite history with a 'big dic' mentality.
That original draft that resulted in PNAC openly called for 'Pearl Harboring' of India, Germany, or Russia. And yet still the world did not take these wacko American extremists seriously.
Who now is the rapist? Who has made it necessary for most every nation in the region - including Turkey - to have nuclear weapons? Who advocates unilateral wars to impose their government on all others? Who is the rapist that openly states it will unilaterally attack other nations only for a political agenda?

But UT advocates military solutions even though "Mission Accomplished" and Nam both proves those to be foolhardy.
Every nation in the Middle East should consider every WMD they can master. It is necessary to protect the region from those who advocate solutions in unilateral military excursions - also called pre-emption.
What do we call the next war? "Mission Gratification"? It would be appropriate.
Why is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad popular enough to be elected? Iran's Hitler is found in a recent version of Mein Kampf - the 'Axis of Evil' speech. Even moderate Iranians now support Iran's nuclear program. They would be unpatriotic to oppose it.
Those who did not see the danger and threat to all Americans in that 2003 speech never learned history - never learned what made America a great and respected nation especially during and after the Cold War.
The only hope we have of bringing long term stability to the region - concepts from good people such as Mohamed ElBaradei and negotiation. But then that had always been the solution. The US, instead, is even advocating the destruction of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. When wacko Americans (President Cheney) threatened unilateral war, well now Iran must develop a nuclear program. Only those with one-side perspectives (who also endorse something stupid called pre-emption) would not see beyond the testosterone thrill of more war.
What UT advocates will only lead to more war. But then that is what Cheney wants, what the most wacko of Israel's Lukid also want, and what Islamic extremists advocate. Makes one wonder is UT has thought this out far enough to appreciate the massive reality in Aliantha's post.
