Iran warns U.S.

In reading the New York Times, there is an article about Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mr. Ahmadinejad is at the UN and apart from normal topics he mentions that, with his increasingly controversial nuclear programs, he is not backing down or intimidated by America or the UN. He also holds that nothing illegal is going on even though he denies information or access to UN inspectors. Mr. Ahmadinejad also claims that if America brings war to Iran it will be greater than any other American conflict in history. He insists that he will not stop for any means and if any threaten violence he is ready to fight.
This type of claim is a threatening one. It leads me believe that something illegal may very well be going on. Do you think that if the situation escalates that war could erupt between Iran and the U.S.?

  1. I agree that his "threat" defiantly makes one believe they are indeed hiding something. However, the good thing about this issue is that it involves the UN as well so we wouldn't be alone. I don't see Obama rushing into another war with troops still in Afghanistan and some still remain in Iraq for the time being. His promise of violence is not going to sit well with other world powers and I feel war is most likely inevitable at one point.

  2. Tell us something we haven't heard, Ahmadinejad. He continues to make threats to the U.S. year after year; however, unless somehow Iran were to be backed by the world's growing superpowers such as China and India, they would hardly stand a chance against the U.S. and its allies.

    While it's understandable for Iran to be somewhat irate with the U.S. and the West, one can't help but find remarks such as these a bit laughable. If anything, we should be concerned for Israel. As for ourselves, we must focus more on improving our nation economically to prevent a very different kind of takeover by, say, China.
