yes, this issue in itself is a side show, but is anyone willing to admit the real issue? the issue, i believe, is islamism. americans are too trusting, especially since most do believe that islam is a religion and not a cult, world view, or endoctrination that embodies every aspect of one's being - social, economic, poitical, religious, and judicial. i think that it is unlikely that america will take out iran's nuclear capacity while we are still in afghanistan. i feel that it would be wise for our policies to include contiuing the star wars research for satelite and space capacity to oust a weapon immediately upon launch. it is disgruntling that iran is anti-western. one theory is to determine the islamic affiliation of the president and his cabinet and it would behoove all to eliminate them as opposed to taking out the nuclear capacity if you mean doing so by bombing it. one may find that salvagable mentality exists in these nations that could turn things around. Iran is not 100% anti-western, but they have had extremist policing and policies enacted that threaten them.

some people may not understand that just because the people are muslim that they "all" believe the same way. it is important to disect islam and determine who is who and their respective muslim affiliations. i know our governement must know these things, but why do they not act on it or tell us? anyone affiliated with the muslim brotherhood should be "watch listed" and that would be Fiesal Abdul Rauf and Fethullah Gulen. both have been kicked out of countries and now live in the U.S.

Imam Rauf was ousted from Egypt for advocating violence and Gulen was ousted from turkey for undermining the secular turkish democracy and suspicion of a governmental coup. (he continues to maintain his influence in turkish politics from the U.S. through the AKP who currently control the presidency, prime minister, and other venues of society, public sectors, business, economics, and academics).

I would like to know where you may have read about these intentions for Iran and Israel's position regarding it. there is so much information and it is hard to read everything. thank you for your comment.
