Not really. Israel could lose a city in a detonation like that and still end Persia. I don't mean defeat Iran. I mean end Persian civilization.
If Iran violates the NPT over a bunch of weak-ass uranium enrichment to get one bomb, they're insane. And I'll eat my underpants. |

Their hypernationalism and anti this and anti that, including antiHolocaust, represents its own kind of insanity, Kuros. Not to mention denying that Iranian homosexuals exist while speaking in New York. I will still await further developments in Iran and watch for B. Netanyahu's reactions in turn. Also, how would I verify whether you had actually had your underwear for lunch should you lose...?
It also occurs to me, Kuros, perhaps Tehran intends to nuke Hollywood...?

TEHRAN, Iran -- Hollywood should apologize to Iran for "insults and accusations against the Iranian nation," a top aide to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a visiting Hollywood delegation Sunday.
Oscar-nominated "American Beauty" star Annette Bening was among the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to hear the remarks, Iran's state-run ISNA news agency said.
"Representatives of Iran's film industry should only have an official meeting with representatives of the Academy and Hollywood if they apologize for the insults and accusations against the Iranian nation during the past 30 years," said Javad Shamghadri, Ahmadinejad's advisor on the arts, ISNA reported.
He singled out the 1991 Sally Field thriller "Not Without My Daughter," about an American woman who marries an Iranian and then tries to flee Iran with their child, and the comic-book-inspired action flick "300" as "two clear examples of total lies." Do you think an apology is warranted?
TheHollywood delegation, which ISNA said also includes AMPAS president Sid Ganis, is supposed to meet with Iranian filmmakers and hold a news conference on March 7. The Academy did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.
But Shamghadri demanded to know how the meetings could produce results.
"How can we sit and have a sincere meeting with American film makers while they they humiliate and insult the Iranian people and the great revolution of this nation?" he asked, ISNA reported.
"The Iranian nation and its revolution has repeatedly and undeservedly been attacked by Hollywood movies," he said.
"The film "The Wrestler" is the latest among them," he said of the film for which Mickey Rourke received an Oscar nomination this year. "We know that even right now there are other films being made with the aim of insulting and accusing the great nation of Iran and its rich culture."
"The Wrestler" features a character known as The Ayatollah, played by Ernest Miller, who takes on Rourke's Randy 'The Ram' Robinson. |

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran is calling for the arrests of 15 Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, on charges of war crimes in Gaza.
Tehran's top prosecutor said Olmert, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and 12 other Israeli leaders violated international law and committed war crimes during Israel's recent offensive in Gaza, according to state-run news agency ISNA.
The prosecutor called on Interpol to issue arrest warrants for the "war criminals," the agency said Sunday.
Iran is investigating about 100 Israelis, calling them "war criminals," ISNA said.
The country has been engaged in an escalating war of words with Israel, which it accuses of trying to destabilize the republic... |
