Iran faces a delicate issue.  On the one hand it wants to show the world all its got and put it at ease, while on the other hand it fears that such show ‘n tell will give its enemies a road map to bomb it.Saddam Hussein faced a similar dilemma ten years ago. Though he wanted the world to know he had nothing to hide, he also wanted to bluff his archenemy Iran into believing that Iraq still had WMD. Bluffing did not go well for Saddam, and it might not go well for Amadijan. But since the price tag for ridding Saddam proved so high, maybe we ought to reflect what we are asking of Iran now.  On the eve of a threat to attack it, we are asking it to take us to the depths of its arsenal and show us all it’s got.  Such great expectations are a sign we have been talking to our friends too long and are in  need of a broader perspective. Exactly when was the last time we asked Pakistan, India, China or Russia to show us their arsenal?“But those countries are not advocating the destruction of Israel,” you say. True, but Israel is not a thorn on their side either.  Surely, however, we can see beyond Iran’s hyperboles and figure out their underlying purpose.  Or have we forgotten that not all Iranians are thrilled with Amadijan?  He sure has not forgotten that he is not loved in Iran. Nor has he forgotten that that his countrymen hate Israel even more. So he tells them that Israel will be wiped from the face of the earth. Expectantly, this nonsense unites them against a common enemy. It even becomes a diversion from the misery and isolation brought on by the theocratic regime. Quite Clever work by Amadijan — and not a rial spent or a bullet fired. So why are we letting this crazy talk about destroying Israel get us all worked-up — and to the point of turning the world topsy-turvy again.Can we not see the desperate attempts of an unpopular regime simply trying to hold on to power?
