The Danger of Iran

In several cities around the country today there were rallies to mobilize and publicize about our concerns that Iran constructing nuclear weapons. Our government needs to act with other countries in preventing a clear and present danger.
The Iranian regime under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has become a growing threat to the security and stability of the Middle East and the world. Its support of terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other similar organizations undermine efforts to achieve peaceful resolutions to local conflicts, and contribute to religious and factional violence that threaten American troops and Israel.
President Ahmadinejad vitriolic rhetoric of Holocaust Denial and affirming the need to destroy the State of Israel may seem ridiculous to many, but are still dangerous. Some may believe that his words are simply political leverage and propaganda - but too often words lead to hate, violence and death.
If these statements are true ... a nuclear capable Iran would be a threat to Israel and US troops and interests in the Middle East, but to the stability of the entire world. While there are disagreements over when they will achieve nuclear independence, there is little debate over their true objective. Whatever the time-line, efforts must be increased to stop Iran from successfully becoming a nuclear power.
