Come on. 150 years ago we weren't any better in our treatment of women or homosexuals and I shouldn't have to remind you of our treatment of slaves, which I don't believe Iran condones. Now that we're finally "enlightened" we're going to dump on anyone that isn't as enlightened and call them irrational?So you acknowledge that people are capable of these things. So, whats the disconnect then? If idealogues are capable of genocide and atrocities, why wouldn't they be capable of launching a nuclear weapon purely out of hate for another country and culture? Especially an openly hostile and ideological country such as Iran. Their treatment of the Baha'i minority, homosexuals, and women suggest your claim of them being a "rational" state is the true red herring in this debate.
