It's a figure of speech to draw attention to the main idea of the sentence.

Shame, you could have enriched the server fund.
But if you're honourable you will now post "OK, hands up, I was talking bollocks"...
You are babbling.

From your article:
"In early 1968, the CIA issued a report concluding that Israel had successfully started production of uclear weapons."
So in 1968, the americans were guessing about the state of Israel's weapons. The last major assault by their neighbors is the Yom Kippur War. It's quite possible that Egypt et al didn't know about the isreali bomb till after that.
Egypt, Syria, had launched a number of attacks against Israel up to and including that time. Why did they suddenly stop?

What exactly is "our" culture and since when did you speak for the entire USA? Your paranoia is laughable. Oh and it is clear you don't know the definition of the word "obfuscate" - because that's what you do.

I find it so funny that FreakRepublic would treat him as an outcast. It says a lot about the cretin.

We could put together a team here that could build something the size of Little Boy:
...but something the size of the W80 (as fitted in Tomahawk cruise):
...this would really stretch us.
Unless someone has 32 Cray supercomputers in their basement they're not telling us about...
Could match that quite easily given a few materials and the inclination without even logging on to CATIA(not really offering)

But theres a couple of Mk84 freefall nuke handling rounds in the room below my office if you nutters need to practice - don't reckon U75 nuclear deterent would stop any board wars .

I think you will find that modern historians agree that Israel was the aggressor. This is where the concept of 'pre-emptive strike', as a propaganda description for unprovoked attack comes from. The Israelis try to claim they were attacked first but it's a lie.

I think it's fair to say that Straw's comments are a combination of posturing (his position in the British cabinet is weak at the moment), PR-friendly "more in sorrow than in anger at Iran" guff and slavishly following the US line.
I'd say the "worthiness" he (and his ilk) wants is that Iran open it's markets and infrastructure to "Western Capitalism" and worship the markets rather than Allah.

Would I be correct in assuming that it would be near impossible for Iran to offer sufficient "evidence" to ease the troubled minds of the west?

IMHO you would be correct to make such an assumption.
This is a re-jigging of the same scenarios that led to the WMD farce. The US and their faithful lapdogs in the UK government are manouvering so that if necessary they have a pre-devised casus belli against Iran.

Some of us were aware that as soon as they started on Iraq, it would have a domino effect on the entire middle east. I was figuring that Syria would be next, though.

A very pertinent point. The Pahlavi's would love to be back. They and their minions and supporters have been active in the west for years. I remembre in the early 80's seeing lots of posters from Iranian exiles in London calling for people to rally behind the new 'shah'.
I cant see the modern Iranians wanting them back. Too many bad memories. I wouldn't be surprised if that as well as a genuine popular demand for islamic govt in some form from Iranians there was a background fear of the Pahlavi's coming back in some form and this may ahve had a bearing on the recent Iranian elections.
