Iran needs to take a step back.

I do not know if it is truly Iran’s policy, but unless they stop pounding their constant barrage of war drum rhetoric it is clear they will get what they are asking for and end up in a nuclear war with Israel or the United States.

News this morning that Israel Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel needs to take seriously Iranian threats to wipe out the Jewish state and can defend itself against a country the West suspects of seeking nuclear weapons only takes the nuclear threat game one step closer to reality.

This newest incident coincides with their latest threats against the state of Israel and their right to exist. This is coming from a country whose president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called to the Arab world for the open destruction of the state of Israel.

Just two days ago, Iran complained to the United Nations that the United States is planning to use our nuclear capabilities against their country in a weak attempt to toss the blame somewhere else. They need to discontinue their current practice of constantly making nuclear threats against anyone who disagrees with them or stands in the way of their beliefs or this cannot end in any other way than it is presently heading. The world recalls not that many years ago when Israel in a bold move to protect themselves against a nuclear attack, took it upon themselves to fly a nonstop mission to Iraq and destroy their nuclear reactor that was presently in the startup phase of construction and their threats to repeat the attack each time they attempted to rebuild.

With the Middle East in the constant state of disarray and uncertainty that it exists within and the militant as ever Hamas now in control as the governing body of Palestinian affairs Israel is already living within a state of constant readiness and preparation for attacks or reprisals. History has already been subject to the fact they will not tolerate any threats of destruction to their country nor their right to exist.

The world did not need another nation entering the nuclear game of chance, especially a country as volatile as that of Iran and the views of its present leadership president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We can all only hope and pray this present mess and constant display of force does not end as it appears to be currently heading, because if nuclear weapons are used the world as we know it will cease to exist.
