The Iranian February “Punch” Threat, Shouldn’t Be Taken Lightly

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can be expected to run off at the mouth anytime and say some really stupid things. He is brainless, however, the remark he made this past week that the world could expect a surprise from Iran on February 11...that's Thursday, should put a dread on all people's mind and I'll explain why.
Ahmadinejad is nothing but a puppet. The man who runs him and Iran is the radical cleric, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader and Commander in Chief of the military, today said:
I'm not sure what either of them have in mind, but regardless of how horrible or how little it is, it can be nothing short of extremely bothersome. The worst scenario I can imagine would be some type of terrorist attack of the magnitude of the destruction of the twin towers on 9/11/01. Or perhaps worse would be to strike a horrific blow to Israel, causing an immediate war. But it is doubtful that it will be any such thing. More than likely it will be something like testing some type of ballistic missile, or even a test explosion of a nuclear apparatus. I do wonder if our intelligence network has any clue as to what it is. If they do, they should prepare the public with what to expect.
But regardless of what it is, it can only mean a deepening of the present threat and a show that negotiations and/or sanctions will not work with these radicals. There are numerous Iranians who are opposed to the present regime and would gladly accept a more moderate take over of the government. This faction should have been assisted and shown how to depose them. It may have gone too far now to accomplish any such.
If, for instance, they should explode a nuclear device, there would be no way anyone could restrain Israel any longer, nor should they try. Israel is a tiny nation and would not bother anyone if they were left alone and were not threatened. But they cannot afford to allow a man who has threatened to eradicate them from the face of the earth, to gain the ability to do so.
But it is highly unlikely that a strong defensive retaliatory move from Israel would end the problem. It is more likely that other powers would enter the fray in some manner, and there is no telling what it could lead to. The U.N., as usual would chastise Israel and anyone else who assisted them.
It would be a good time for those of us who are Christians, to try and invoke the providential intervention of God to allow this not to "stun" the Western Powers too badly

Nice article, thanks Joel.Thanks for the comment, Jim. You are right, it is hard to take them seriously, but then, they are radicals and you can never tell. I suspect their "punch" will turn out to be more of the same manure, but we'll see Thursday I suppose.
Whether or not there's any substance behind the threat, it should be taken seriously and responded to with harsh sanctions and tightened security.The international community should not wait until the threat is carried out (if indeed there is any substance to it) ....the mere making of such a ridiculously undiplomatic threat should be enough to merit a strong response from the international community.You are absolutely right Ben, thanks for the comment. I don't know just what the solution ought to be here, but it ought to be more than a handshake and begging. If the United Nations is ever to be worth their salt, they all need to stand up and make some decisions.
