People with a greater understanding of the motivations of Iran unilaterally 
agree that Iran will use WMD's for offensive purposes.  France, Germany, 
Italy, hell -- most of the European Union, Turkey, and -- good gosh, even 
your prime minister agrees.  Iran won't use them responsibly.....  It's like 
giving a 14 year old kid the keys to the Ferrari.  Iran will most likely 
employ them against Israel, like they said they would.  I tend to believe 
the President of Iran in this instance... :)
