Scientists create most dangerous virus strain in the lab

no not even

"The current regime," meaning he thinks israel's govt is bad and needs to go

One has to wonder what his view on a "good Israeli" government would be.

One also has to wonder how he plans to effect said change. I'm sure that building nuclear weapons can only be construed as a peaceful overture.

[Agloco]

He's saying that they are corrupt and need to go and like other past corrupt regimes, they will be eventually forgotten about and "wiped from the pages of time"

Peacefully to be sure........

but don't let that get in the way of your right wing views brah. you know, besides regular intelligence there is also lingual and emotional intelligence, common sense if you will. GETCHU SOME!

You keep citing common sense, yet don't grasp the need for more perspective and insight regarding the matter (hint: read the report). Wouldn't common sense dictate that you familiarize yourself with all available facts? It would allow you to understand another viewpoint much better.

lol Americans who incessantly worry about the well being of Israel

It's all good when the currency you're gambling with is other peoples lives. Makes for an easy black and white world. There's a clear and present danger. Ahmahdinejhad's rhetoric about wiping Israel off of the map doesn't help matters along, nor does the fact that Iran continually engages in clandestine activities despite the urging of the community to not do so.

Kinda like a smiling friend holding a meat cleaver.

I would rather not post, but I have this question.

Do you think a fiercely devout Muslim state such as Iran would willingly use a nuclear weapon and destroy holy sites of their religion contained within Israel?

I personally find that to be a very mixed answer, far from affirmative yes or no.

Just as a side note as well, I share your background and understand those reports. The political insinuation is why I left non-proliferation subject area, it's less science and more social science.

And to think Agloco is worshiped and has been voted most knowledgeable in the Politics forum.

lol semantics. Whether he did or not is irrelevant honestly. Their actions speak much louder than any utterances from Ahmahdinejhad ever could.

You missed the boat. It's not about Israel one way or the other. I do care about an middle eastern arms race though. Preventing these things is one of the major mandates the IAEA has. It makes my job that much more difficult when governments are clandestinely inclined. However, I can appreciate the fact that neither one of you fully comprehend the gravitus here.

Very mixed. Which is why I attempted to stay away from the "what if's". Kudos to YH for succoring me into that.

My aim here was to demonstrate that Iran is working toward building a nuclear device, and they do so while maintaining that they aren't.

Who in their right mind wouldn't ask a few questions within the given context?

But yes, you have a good point about the social aspect of things. I consult for them now and recently completed a trip to Austria regarding these matters. Untangling the web can get to be a fairly large headache at times.

And to think Agloco is worshiped and has been voted most knowledgeable in the Politics forum.

Hey, I'm a scientist, not a politician. I'll leave that to the experts like YH and DoK. Thanks for your vote btw.

Anyone who thinks America needs to have any influence over the middle east has been successfully fear mongered by the neo-cons. The middle east wouldn't give a about us if we weren't over there.

Hey dude, you're the one who brought it up if it was so "unimportant." It's only unimportant after you were wrong.

Interpret it however you'd like. The connotations remain the same.

[mavs>spurs]

good try tho

Hey, I'm a scientist,

If comets are a result of the big bang over 12 billion years ago then why is the oldest known comet 10,000 years old and why is it still burning?

Dunno mouse. Why don't you enlighten the masses.

[mavs>spurs]

it's not a matter of interpretation, he really didn't say what you originally thought he did. you just believed heard that he did in the media and accepted it without making sure. not very scientific tbh.
