i wouldn't be surprised if this is true. Media played a major role in convincing the Iranians are scary.

Israel's worry is based on losing its dominance of the region. They like the status quo and the ability to hit others without suffering reprisals. They depend on both being stronger than the rest and having others repressed by the US by virtue of sanctions, occupation or simply aid with strings attached. Why do you think they always blab on about the "strategic balance" of the region when Russia or someone else talks about selling anything to Lebanon, Syria or Iran. The "strategic balance" is Israeli dominance.
Israel knows that if Iran gets nukes that dominance will be totally undermined because any attack on Iran will be a non-starter. They also know that it may trigger an arms race that would end up with several arab neighbours getting nukes aswell. I don't think Israel has the capability to attack Iran and stop their nuclear programme. They aren't the USA. An Israeli attack will only guarantee that Iran pulls out of the NPT and gets a nuclear bomb anyway.

Iranians aren't scary. Assholes, maybe, but not scary. In fact they're far better educated than most Americans.

Like I mentioned before, I sure as fuck would get my hands on a couple of those if I had nutcase neighbors like Israel. And I garuntee if we or they started bombing the piss out of Iran, he'd launch the bastards just to do it, and I would LAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my mother fucking balls off on my way into global annihilation... lol Eh I disagree. I think Iran has missiles and capabilities to hit Israeli cities like Tel Aviv but I don't think they actually have a nuclear weapon. Saddam had scuds that could hit Israel (that he launched) but later had shot down. I think the only way to find out is to see if Israel strikes Iran first. Both should realize by now that attacking each other is going to cause National suicide for both nations. Iran is enriching uranium at 5%, for energy. If they truly wanted a bomb they would be enriching around 95% or higher so right there is proof they're being honest about their program. Of course the US and IAEA are demanding they prove a negative like they did with Iraq, and look how that turned out.. To say that Iran probably secretly have a nuke is unresearched & spreading Zionist propaganda. I also disagree that Ahmadinejad (I can't spell his name) is a 'crazy bastard'. I'm sure I'd disagree w/many of his domestic policies and religious views but to paint him as a fanatic is also spreading Zionist propaganda. He at least seems more reasonable than Israel's leadership.

You're probably right that Iranians are more educated than Americans on average but it's wrong to assume that this survey is accurate and reflects the views of all or even most Americans. It was put out by Zionist Jews.

The real leadership is pretty firery in their rhetoric too though from what I've seen. I don't necessarily think it's bad, someone has to stand up and speak out about Zionism and Western imperialism. As far as Ahmedinejad though I wish he would actually cite facts when he expresses doubt in the Holocaust instead of just saying that the Palestinians shouldn't have to pay for what the Nazis did whenever he's confronted about it. He should mention how they now admit that the human soap & lampshade thing was made up, stuff like that. That would actually make people think, instead he just comes off looking like an asshole to most cause he doesn't give any justification for his opinion on it.
