Iran's Desperation Makes It More Deadly
[Atlanta Journal-Constitution] Reda Mansour - Only a miracle could now save the failed Iranian Islamic Revolution. More than 20% of the nation is unemployed, the educated are leaving the country, and despite its massive oil reserves, Iran is heavily dependent on imported fuel. Ahmadinejad is selling the nuclear illusion to his citizens to distract them from his and Khomeini's monumental failure. We have no assurance that Ahmadinejad would not pass the bomb to one of his many proxy terrorist groups in Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza to be detonated in London, Paris, New York or Tel Aviv. In fact, I believe he would, for dictators never know when to stop, and in their desperation they don't hesitate to take others down with them. The writer is Israel's consul general in Atlanta.
