Response to Nicks post

I definitely agree with you that Ahmadinejad is the most dangerous leader in the world today. He has said that he wants to "wipe Israel off the map" which is a very harsh thing to say, and a very scary thing coming from someone with nuclear weapons. This is, in fact, one of the things that makes him so dangerous. He has been, and still is, in direct violation of UN Resolution 11737, which calls for a halt of his uranium enrichment program. Even though harsh sanctions, including an embargo, travel restrictions and restriction on Iranian financial institutions have been carried out on Iran, he still refuses to respect the resolution. He insists that he is using the process for peaceful uses of nuclear energy, but reports from the International Atomic Energy Association state that the amount of highly enriched uranium Iran is producing is enough to arm missiles. Any country who possesses nuclear weapons, ignores UN resolutions and has publicly threatened to blow Israel off the map should be considered a very big threat to the international community.
