The Atomic Split

So Iran is going ahead with its nuclear programme. The world is up in arms. Is Iran's intention to build a nuclear weapon? The present state of their missiles programme shows that within a very short time they could have the means of delivery of nuclear weapons. It could gravely affect the balance of power in the whole of the Middle East. Oh my God - both Iran and Israel with nuclear weapons. This is a recipe for total disaster in the Middle East which would bring in the whole world.
BUT - who gave the Israelis their atomic weapons? And why? If Israel has this power of destruction why should an Arab state accept it without counter-measures?
Don't get me wrong - there are grave doubts about Iran's claim that their only aim is to produce nuclear power for domestic purposes. After all, Iran will be self-sufficient in oil for decades - if not centuries - to come.
Oops - I mentioned the forbidden word oil. George W's country is hungry for it. They consume more of it than they produce and their capitalist system locks them into using more and more of it rather than finding other sources which would put their huge multi-national oil companies at risk. Am I being cynical again?
America supplies nuclear technology to Israel because of the strong Jewish lobby in the US.
America needs more oil to fuel its energy-hungry, ecology-destroying, consumer-satisfying needs.
How long before they are sending troops into Iran to "retain stability" in the Middle East?
The Iranians are scared by the attitude of the West.
What would you do under threat? Would you kow-tow or would you try to find ways to resist?
