In developing its nuclear program. Iran is using strategies that allowed its enemy Israel to assemble the Middle East's only atomic arsenal without admitting it had one, according to a leading expert on the Israeli program. " Whether deliberately or inadvertently, there are elements of resemblance between the way Iran is pursuing its nuclear program today and the way Israel was pursuing its own program in the 1960s," Avner Cohen, author of a landmark study entitled "Israel and the Bomb," Whether deliberately or inadvertently, there are elements of resemblance between the way Iran is pursuing its nuclear program today and the way Israel was pursuing its own program in the 1960s," Avner Cohen, author of a landmark study entitled "Israel and the Bomb,"
This is a great irony of history but Iranian policymakers and nuclear technocrats may be strategically mimicking
the Israeli model

The elements the Israeli and Iranian nuclear programs have in common are secrecy, concealment, ambiguity, double talk and denial.

Iran's probable strategy, he says, is to create the perception of having a secret weapons program, or being close to it, without actually testing a bomb or declaring its possession or impending possessionThat echoes the Israeli program, which began in the late 1950s at the Dimona nuclear complex in the Negev Desert. Since then, Israel has declined to confirm or deny it has nuclear weapons, saying only it would not be the first to "introduce" them into the Middle East.

Over the decades, Israel's attitude has been "let the world guess"
U.S. intelligence czar John Negroponte said in February that Iran was 10 years away from a bomb but later talked about "the beginning of the next decade perhaps to the middle of the next decade" - four to ten years..

He adds; "Iran is ... a hard (intelligence) target. They engage in denial and deception. They don't want us necessarily to know everything that they are doing. So we don't, for example, know whether there is a secret military program and to what extent that program has made progress..and so we don't really know what is going on do we?
because Israel IS supposed to be our friend. But I don't think we know who to trust. Not with an angry Middle East waiting...waiting. And Israel waiting also.
with the same type of behavior re nuclear weapons or capabilities
as Iran is accused of
secrecy
concealment
ambiguity
double talk
denial

Who inspects Israel?
Has she ever been inspected?
Is she ahead of the United States?

God help us all....

Sorry Milkweed. I've read all those books. God didn't have his prophets write all of those books for Jewish people WITHOUT others in mind.
Humm,.I note that you left out the book of Ezekiel, Yes? A telling book, Yes?

And by the way, at one time I did, but I no longer believe in the "Chosen People" theory. Nor do I believe in a "Promised Land," that is,
UNLESS God meant that we are ALL his "Chosen People," and that we are all entitled to a "Promised Land".
...and by the way, Jews are not a "Race" of people...they are of many races. They are just plain people who are Jewish.

Israel sank a u.s. military ship in 1967. I haven't trusted them since then and their ethnic cleansing in Gaza is going on right now.

The world is insane.

OP, you are able to likely have self assurance your mom. diverse than that, you would be served suitable by trusting surely no person else. Israel isn't the country it become in 1948, and its friends are a parliament of whores. the distinction between Iran and Israel of the 1950's is that if the competition had gained in Israel, there would have been a metamorphosis. Iran is a Chavez form democracy, there'll be elections even nonetheless the powers that be will win. In Iran, the mullahs basically do not enable a accessible opposition candidate to run, and in the event that they do, oddly sufficient, the polling basically earlier the vote isn't precise.

OP, you can probably trust your Mom. Other than that, you would be served well by trusting absolutely no one else. Israel is not the country it was in 1948, and its neighbors are a parliament of whores. The difference between Iran and Israel of the 1950's is that if the opposition had won in Israel, there would have been a change. Iran is a Chavez type democracy, there will be elections but the powers that be will win. In Iran, the mullahs simply do not allow a viable opposition candidate to run, and if they do, oddly enough, the polling prior to the vote is not accurate.

It is believed that Israel has a bomb. It has never been proven, but I believe they've got a few stashed away somewhere.

At least, I hope they have got them. I would feel less safe in this world if they hadn't any. You see, as much as I like Bush, I don't think he has it in him to use our own nukes. It's not his fault, he's from that silly "kindler and gentler" school of rule. Israel however, I can trust to use them. I know in my heart that they will not tolerate a nuclear armed Iran to exist long in this world.

For that I thank God.

Tehran is the fountian head of Islamic Jihadism. If that city burned to the ground tomorrow, I would not lose any sleep over it. Hopefully it will not come to that. There are alot of good people there who don't like the way their government runs things. There are however a great many more do. Those that DON'T better start DOING something about the lunatics running their assylum. It would help them immensley if the arabs living safely within our own borders would come out from under their beds and help their brothers living under the iron dome of sharia.

If the Iranians don't get their house in order, I have no problem with either Bush or Israel tearing it down or blowing it up. I don't want to share the planet with a civilization that puts death contracts out on writers (Salman Rushdie), or shoots, stabs and slits the throat of a film maker who dared to document the abuse of women under Muslim law (Theo Van Gogh, grand nephew of the painter) or funds organizations that send their explosive-strapped children to die killing other children.

I'm sure there were good people in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but taking out those two cities brought Japanese fascism to its knees and saved us, God knows how many thousands of American lives it would have taken to defeat Japan city by city. If nuking Tehran is what its going to take to stop the spread of Islamic fascism, then I say: so be it.

If nothing else it would remind the world that we're still not to be tread upon!

this really got into you huh. anyway i don't like whats happening in the middle east its very depressing special when i saw a picture of israel kids signing and writing things on a mortar that will be launched to lebanon. it breaks my heart that they breed hate and intolerance at a very young age. The signed mortars would kill young children too. its horrific.

As for Iran, the leaders of this country are lunatics and the laws they follow are inhuman. Imagine i saw a kids arm (the kid is about 8 i think) run over by a car just he stole a measley bread. WTF, destroy a kids future, a kid that may not yet understand that what he did is wrong and did it because of hunger, just for a bread. Heartless.

The world is better of if people like this would grow a heart and i mean both of them.

We CAN trust Israel.

They will be our nuclear shield in the Middle East when WWWIII gets going.

I'm not sayings it is starting.

I'm just saying that when it does start I don't mind the featherweight champion of the world, with an atomic right hook, being on my side.

You're right about one thing,...........Jesus Christs' Father *does* help Israel, because they're God's *chosen* race, like it or not, there's no getting around it, believe it or not! So just get over yourself, everyone, and believe it!! Like you haven't seen the *warning* signs???----Are you dumb, deaf, and blind?????? Even the dumb, deaf, and blind *know* what's going on. What's YOUR excuse??

If you all wish to *know* what's going on in the world, then read Daniel, Matthew, Luke, 2 Timothy, and *then* Revelations, of The Holy Bible.
