...agreed. Western Europe is western Europe--all same thing.
And now is probably the time to move on Iran, if all is in place.
Well - what he thinks is of no matter and if he said what he thought, he wouldn't be a foreign minister.
If you want to hunt a rat you should show him an exit. Even if you want to kill it, the exit will make the pray focus on it and distract it from fighting. Cornerning somebody is good as long as he's not seeing it coming. Showing somebody that he's cornered would make him react unforeseen.
So far to theory.
I think Ahmedinedjad will use the nukes once he's got a good chance to send them to Israel. It doesn't take much nuclear fire power for the total anihilation of entire Israel.
Then he will rely on the west - we will hardly regard whole of Iran as a considerable colateral damage in the chase for him.
He must be preempted.
