Re:"No threat"

I don't normally respond to ACs but this one time I'll make an exception.

Repeat after me: Iran is not a threat. Iran is not a threat. Iran will not attack its neighbors or the U.S. Iran will not attack its neighbors or the U.S.

Threatening other countries who have threatened you does not make you a threat. Nor does saying stupid things like wiping Israel off the map. The vast majority of things that Ahmadinejad is saying is purely for internal support.

This is the same kind of nonsense that was used to justify invading and now occupation of Iraq. They were an imminent threat, remember? They posed a grave danger to world peace, remember? They had were producing weapons of mass destruction, remember?

Iran will not attack its neighbors unless they attack first. The fact that they are going forward with their nuclear program, as allowed under the UN Charter and IAEA conditions, does not mean they are planning on attacking anyone. I guess the concept of mutually assured destruction doesn't ring a bell with you.

The only country currently threatening to attack and/or invade another country is the U.S.

Let me ask this question: if you were being threatened by the playground bully, wouldn't you think of ways of defending yourself?
