Amhadinejad = No Fear

The Guardian discussed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejads, comments and his shrugging "off the threat of the a US attack and said accusations that Tehran was arming insurgents in Iraq represented an attempt to find a scapegoat for American "defeats and failures".

U.S. Press Secretary Tony Snow told reporters that "evidence to the effect that there's been the shipment of weaponry, lethal weaponry, into Iraq, some of it of Iranian provenance. And this is something that we think if the president of Iran wants to put a stop to it, we wish him luck and hope he'll do it real soon." He expressed that this is not a way to pave an offensive war against Iran.

I think that it will be disastrous for the United States to enter into an armed conflict with the Iranians at this time. However I think it would be suicide for the United Nations to leave them be, sanctions and multilateral diplomacy is necessary to deal with the Iranian threat, I emphasize threat. Anyone who believes Iran is not a growing threat to Americans home and abroad and American interests in the region is ignorant to the facts. As well Iran's Presidents consistent calls for the destruction of Israel also poses a threat to stability in the region and to the sole democracy in the region.
