I can't believe this...I mean really.

Condi is a Goof along with Roman Helmet

My favorite part?
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that Iran must live up to its international obligations to halt its nuclear program or "the next steps are in the offing. And I think everybody understands what the 'next steps' mean," Rice told reporters.
But Rice on Friday said that the question of using military force against the Tehran regime "is simply not on the agenda at this point in time."

(By favorite I mean Most Ludicrous).
Why can't we have a reasonable conversation with the Iranians? I'm bread cereal here. This is the time for diplomacy and it can't be so incredibly overshadowed by threats of war. We need to understand that it is entirely hypocritical of us to allow Israel to have nuclear weapons and yet refuse to allow Iran to have them. And that's if we assume that Iran does want nuclear weapons. If what they say is indeed true, then what is the problem with them having nuclear power? We need to understand what this looks like to them and the history that Iranians have with the West. We overthrew their democratically elected government in 1953 to further the economic objectives of British Petroleum.
If we really don't want them to have nuclear weapons, then we need to force Israel to give us their nuclear weapons. Otherwise, we merely propagate the Islamist idea of a Zionist conspiracy in the West.

Have you heard of the King David Hotel bombing? How about the Stern Gang? The Irgun? The Rome Embassy bombing? The modern state of Israel is founded on terrorist actions, and they obtained their nuclear weapons by stealing them from us. Iran feels threatened- her enemies possess morbidly huge nuclear arsenals and yet refuse to allow them to develop those same weapons. Please, understand the Iranian point of view. I am merely positing that we need to be intelligent about this and understand that Iran is a sovereign nation whose history has been constantly darkened by western intervention. I feel that the world would be a better place if Iran didn't have nuclear weapons. However, I do not see that this administration has been effective in limiting nuclear proliferation(see N.Korea) and I fear that the current stance with regards to Iran will not produce the desired results.
P.S.- when talking about nuclear weapons, the US is the only nation to have used them to kill citizens of another country.
