Re: Ahmedinejad's letter
But USA currently is the world's sole superpower and wishful thinking is not going to change that. The goal of every country is to be happy and prosperous. Only some countries can be super-powers others cant. Brazil, India, China, Russia can all be super-powers because of their large geo-graphical area they occupy, the international clout they have, their emerging economies, etc. Countries like Guatamela, Central African Republic, Liechenstein, Moldovia and Yemen can't be super-powers. You just have to accept it.
To hurt USA. Iraq also wanted to sell its own oil but why did it start a war in Kuwait and destroyed Kuwait's oil fields, etc. People do stupid things. Having a logical solution to everything is not a way of justifiying future behaviours. Iran has already said it will mine the Straits of Hormuz or sink hundreds of ships there so that the strait can become impassable.

See with that type of reasonings you have never convince the USA to take a more even handed apporach when dealing with Israel-Palestine. If you were writing to your Congressman in your district, using that language will get you no where.
Who else do you want to leave it to? Like it or not, USA is the world's sole super-power. It would be better if there was another democratic Super-power to challenge USA so there won't be any polarization but the problem is there isnt. China offers no hope because its a Communist Dictatorship, India is a corrupt society which will take atleast 100 years of reforms to fix. European Union offers some hope.
Any country can make weapons for its own defensive needs. But the problem is with Nuclear Weapons. These weapons can devastate the entire planet and cannot be trusted in the hands of people who are threatening to wipe out another nation.
