Moreover, the man on your news clip there Arista for want of a better analogy reminds me of the defence secretary in Independance day, chomping at the bit to test out his super duper new toy in this case Nukes.
Maybe if the ordinary people of Iran had some kind of future to look forward too, deranged nuts like Mr Ahmedianajad or however you spell it, and his dream of wiping Israel out would not be listened quite as carefully.
They have so little the only thing they seem to have is hatred.

over 60% of graduates in Iran are women. The perception is nothing like the reality. iran has got a phenomenally rich and ancient past. the fact the rich poor divide has grown so massively is as much to do with us as them. we hand pick dictators, billionaire oil arabs, we sell the weapons to all their near neighbours and start illegal wars in their neighbouring countries. we supply weapons to both sides and pass misinformation. we need to take a look at ourselves before labelling other nations
