Pre-addressed or not, it needed to be pointed out clearly, regarding the propaganda relating to this issue

We aren't (nor is Israel in my opinion) transparent about our nuclear programs, why should any country be held to a higher standard than another; and we have been showing quite a bit of aggressive rhetoric ourselves against many other countries, not just Iran, so we are no more "rational" lately than Iran, perhaps even less so.

I accept it, as you should do with the realities that I presented to you. The alarmism over Iran and Almajinedad (sp?) is complete poppy cock.

Consensus doesn't make right (as in correct or fair or reasonable), there have been many wrong consensuses such as slavery, jim crow, japanese interments, women banned from voting, and so many more. Plus consensus is conveniently ignored whenever it didn't/doesn't work for the repubs, for example the Iraq War which had a strong global consensus toward NOT starting that war.
