Iran poses no threat? Look at our past experiences Below the fold and you tell me!

Ahmadinejad said Saturday that his country poses no threat to Israel, and that no one can deprive Iran of its right to nuclear technology.
No one can deprive a nation of its rights based on its capabilities," he said in a speech to inaugurate a new phase of a heavy-water reactor project southwest of Tehran.
Iran is not a threat to anybody, not even to the Zionist regime," he said, using the Islamic Republic's term for arch-enemy Israel, which it does not recognize.
The Iranian president affirmed Iran's right to develop nuclear technology even if sanctions are imposed.
They may impose some restrictions on us under pressure. But will they be able to prevent the thoughts of a nation? Will they be able to prevent the progress
and technology of a nation? They have to accept the reality of a powerful, peace-loving and developed Iran. This is in the interest of all governments and all nations whether they like it or not," he said

Iranian Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh, who also heads the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said the plant's production is 16 tons of heavy water with a purity of 15 percent per year, and 80 tons of heavy water with a purity of nearly 100 percent. He said the facility will be used to treat AIDS and cancer and for other medicinal and agricultural purposes.

Western nations accuse Iran of seeking to master technology to produce nuclear weapons. Iran, the world's fourth largest oil exporter, insists its aim is only for electricity.
Iran's deputy parliament speaker, Mohammad Reza Bahonar, warned the West in comments published by Iran's Sharq newspaper on Saturday that putting pressure on the country could prompt public calls for Iran to pursue a weapons program.

Be afraid of the day that the Iranian nation comes into the streets and stages demonstrations to ask the government to produce nuclear weapons to combat the threats," he said.

The United States has warned of swift action on sanctions. Britain, Germany and France have been less conclusive in public. Russia and China, both trade partners of Iran, have been unwilling and could veto sanctions in the Security Council. http://www.haaretz.com/...

First I have to say that it is ludicrous for Iran to say they are not a threat to Israel who they want to annihilate. Since in the past they expressed a desire to spread nuclear proliferation throughout the entire Muslim world, I feel they are a threat to everyone with the anti western feelings of much of Islam.
I do believe sanctions will backfire but what is that about using the nuclear facility to treat AIDS and cancer and for other medicinal and agricultural purposes?

With this and all the past events in mind you now hear that the US believes Japan and the European trio - Germany, France, and Britain - will provide the base for international rallying outside the Security Council in the case that Russia and China block the sanctions. http://www.ynetnews.com/...

Another coalition of the willing! Oh yeah that works, right! Here we go again! Look at the steps that have led us to this point and you tell me where you think this will all lead and end!

* This is not and will not go away it has been ramping up for years with rhetoric increasing daily and getting increasingly vehement and more confrontational.
There were many posts before January and many more in between. This is only one persons blogs and we all have our thoughts as we have discussed this many, many times.
