With the Iranian army practicing mock missile strikes on U.S. bases in Afghanistan, China only begrudgingly joining the European Union’s sanctions against Tehran, and the Israeli air force calculating firing solutions on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the headline in Foreign Affairs was startling: “Why Iran Should Get the Bomb.”

For more than a decade, the specter of a nuclear-armed Iran has frightened the world. After all, this is a regime that believes that if it can topple Western civilization, Iran will usher in the “second coming” of the Shi’ite messiah – five-year-old Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī, the long-awaited twelfth Imam, who vanished into a well in 941 A.D.

Iran’s fundamentalists teach that al-Mahdī will end his “occulation” or 1,000 years of invisibility — and will return to lead Iran’s restoration of the ancient Persian Empire and the imposition of worldwide Islam.

Speaking at a Tehran conference on Thursday, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Ali Larijani, declared “the time has come for the disappearance of the West and the Zionist regime – which are two dark spots in the present era – from the face of the universe.”

  • Iran has invaded no one but Israel and it banker puppets in Washington on the other hand…………. well we know.

    “Mad Imams”

    Have you taken a look at the religious freaks in Israel who don’t need to blow themselves up to get 19 virgins in heaven but must destroy the earth to bring about the return

    Israel has sown its own seeds in Syria and even CNN admits that AL-CIAda terrorists are in the country so if all we are told about AL-CIAda and 9/11 is true then president assad needs only give these rebels chemical weapons and let them go to fight the grater war

    Take out Israel using it own seeds planted in Syria and Iran won’t need any nukes, its called karma

  • Interesting how quiet the middle east was till Barry was elected.
    Now we have MASSIVE unrest all over the place.
    And “Iran has invaded no one?”
    That proves what exactly?
    That they can’t.
    Yet.
    A few Iraqis might differ with that opinion.
    Love the people that blame Israel and America for ALL the worlds sins.
    Tells me that they haven’t read any unrevised history.
    Or they are waiting for the “ALEINS” to come “SAVE” the world.
    Shiny side out!

    Sorry to steal that……but was funny as hell!
