Netanyahu: Containment Policy For Iran Won't Work September 15 2012 JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister says a policy of containment for Iran will not work because Tehran is guided by a "leadership of fanaticism."

In an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" to be aired Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also says he disagrees with those who argue that going to war with Iran would be worse than a nuclear Iran.

"Iran is guided by a leadership with an unbelievable fanaticism," he said. "You want these fanatics to have nuclear weapons?"

Thanks Steelfish.

Iran is guided by a leadership with an unbelievable fanaticism. It's the same fanaticism that you see swarming your embassies...You want these fanatics to have nuclear weapons? ...I actually read this in the American press -- they said, 'Well, you know, if you take action, that's a lot worse than having Iran with nuclear weapons.' Some have even said that Iran with nuclear weapons would stabilize the Middle East...I think the people who say this have set a new standard for human stupidity."

-- Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel
