Sir, although I agree with your statement about rallying the Iranian people to the side of the mullahs, you are wrong about Iran not attacking first. Iran has been fighting a proxy war with Israel as well as other islamic factions for a very long time. You can`t dispute this.

Every country on earth has a right to self defense, that is without question. But when the leaders of Iran start throwing around statements, consistantly, about the destruction of another country, any country, you can`t expect the rest of the world to accept this as just rhetoric. It is not Israel or the US that has backed Iran into this corner but the other way around.

Look, I, and the vast majority of Americans don`t have a thing in the world against you or your people, but I am a realist and a student of history. And history has taught me that threatening words from crazy people, regardless of the religon, are usually followed up with threatening actions.
