Aaron,
Let me get this straight: In essence you are suggesting that Iran is ruled by a democratic peace-loving regime, equally deserving as any of the sovereign right to develop a nuclear industry and the military capabilities flowing from that, hemmed in provocatively by trigger-happy pro-Zionist Western powers?
Would this be the same regime that very recently sought to hire a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US on American soil, seemingly because it was miffed that Saudi Arabia militarily intervened in Bahrain (with assumed US connivance) to prevent a pro-Iranian Shiite coup there?
Forgive me, but are you on friggin' crack?
