So what do you think about Iran, are they the greatest threat in the Middle East? Which country would you consider more of a threat?
Out of N.Korea, Iran, or Pakistan, which one would you say is the greatest threat?

I think the USA is a great threat to peace since it can't seem to keep it's nose out of the rest of the worlds business.
It's time to stop focusing on the negative and start looking to the positive. Bring the people up instead of down.
Oh yeah, and bring our troops home! All of them!

Sorry Leeroy, my bad. I apologized for my illiterate boo-boo again. I really need to stop reading so fast.
Longer-range missiles are not likely to be built because all of Iran's desired targets are already in reach with its current missiles, said Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division.
“We possess the technology to build missiles with longer ranges but we do not need missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and we do not intend to produce them,” Mr. Hajizadeh said from the sidelines of the drills, which are known as Great Prophet 6. “Iran's missiles have a range of up to 2,000 kilometers and have been designed for US and the Zionist regime [Israel]'s bases in the region."
The war games demonstrate Iran's emerging capabilities amid a nuclear stand-off with the West, which is concerned that the Islamic republic is developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear power program. Iran denies such allegations, insisting its nuclear program is solely for energy purposes.

Hajizadeh attempted to reassure other countries that Iran posed no threat, adding that the US and Israel were only targets because they threatened Iran. Reuters reported that Hajizadeh said that Iran had no intention of building missiles capable of reaching Europe.
The message of the drill is that "our strategy is defensive, but our tactics are aggressive," said Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami, deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guard, according to a separate PressTV report.
The provocative military exercises come on the heels of meetings this weekend in Tehran between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his counterparts in Pakistan and Afghanistan, ((which have received billions in US aid.)) The Wall Street Journal characterized the summit as part of a broader Iranian push to boost its influence in the region as the US scales back operations in Afghanistan.

You have to take people word for what they are saying and they've said they'd like to wipe Israel off the map. All of these countries have signed the Nuclear non proliferation treaty. Yet they willfully break their word to the world.

I do believe that Iran is the biggest threat of that region. Seems he just took over where Sadam H. left off with his ambitions. Russia is their buddy as was Sadam's. They have helped our enemies every opportunity they've had.
Nuclear capability in the hands of an idiot that has already sworn to destroy Israel is definately a serious matter. The Arabs will never stop fighting each other and other countries. America cannot keep holding these types of country at bay forever by itself.
Time for America to come home, regroup, seal our borders, fix what is broken with our economy, and build up a little respect once again from other countries. We used to be feared. Now we're known for fighting political wars and not winning a thing. Rebuilding countries? What's up with that? That's BS. I'm with Colleen. Let's quit trying to save the world and save ourselves.
