The first shots of World War III have already been fired. The conflict in the Middle East will flare out of control due to the fact that it is a religious war. The reason the U.S. - U.S.S.R. cold war never got out of control was that it was about power and resources control. What good is winning when the object of conflict is destroyed forever? This time, however, the goal is based on a false certainty on both sides that there is a heaven waiting for them. Neither side is correct, but in that they BELIEVE they are correct, the unthinkable becomes a real option.
People of the Earth, wake up now and put an end to this religious based foolishness before it is too late.

You truly have a vivid imagination. A large part of warfare today is psychological warfare. Blame our country for turning our heads for Israel to possess atomic weapons to begin the race in a region that did not have it before. If the world had become serious about disarmament the race would not be on now.
To get bent out of shape about Iran is not the end of the world as you will see - their President is an educated man Degree in Engineering I believe. He is not stupid just a bit vocal.
There are other ways to control him and it may be a bit inconvenient for the rest of the world - but it can occur.
Radio-active oil from nuclear bombing is not an option but playing the China and the Russian "Cards" are.

The sad thing is that we know how to stop it but aren't following that course. Diplomacy is the only solution. People must sit down and find common ground. Agreements must be made and followed. Remember how wonderful it was as a little child when your mother or a good teacher would intervene and help you and a friend work out how to share a toy? It's the same wisdom that's needed now. If our leaders can find that wise place in themselves that will bring peace instead of war, it can happen. Your guess is as good as mine, though, as to whether or not they will.

The real power in Iran is not President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, it is Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini.
On August 22 Ali Larijani, hand delivered Iran's 21-page response to UNSC 1696 the package of incentives to dissuage Iran from uranium enrichment. Iran's top nuclear negotiator said that Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations" over its disputed nuclear program but did not say whether it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. This was because the West had offered many economic incentives.
On August 31 sanctions may be set against Iran if it continues to enrich uranium. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini avers that Iran has a right to have nuclear weapons. Leaders of the Iranian hard-line regime, believe they have a direct line to God, and they'll do whatever 'divine inspiration' requires them to do. Talking to them is pointless.
On August 19, Iran launched a large-scale area, sea and ground exercise he maneuver, the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), which involved 12 divisions, army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic war units and special forces. Iran's state-run television reported that the new anti-aircraft system was tested "to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies."
On Sunday, August 20, in the Kashan desert about 250 kilometers southeast of the capital of Tehran, Iran tested the Saegheh missile which has a range of between 80 to 250 kilometers. Saegheh means lightning in Farsi. (The language of Iran is not Arabic and Iranians are not Arabs.)
Iran's arsenal also contains the Shahab-3 missile, which means "shooting star" in Farsi, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach Israel and US forces in the Middle East.
Iran's military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.
The Iranian news service Al-Borz, predicted that on the first anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad's government, in late August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service called Iran's "nuclear birth."
In addition, an August 23, 2006 article about Iran's reply to the incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-affiliated website , implied that Iran's nuclear technology had already reached the point of no return: "...
The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:
"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear birth.'
"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.
"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad] will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research centers, and developments in the region."

A bullet in the head of Ahmadinejad would be an excellent start.
