Iran: No longer a "Phantom Menace"

The government of Iran and their "Quest for the Bomb" under the guise of "energy production" continues to be an issue.

As always, Joel Rosenberg has some great thoughts.

Ian Schwartz over at Expose the Left has the video of Hugh Hewitt on Hardball with Chris Matthews discussing Iran and the "nuclear option"

I don't have any answers here, except that I know this - America cannot let Iran get the bomb, if that happens, the world as we know it could change overnight, as the President of Iran has spoken out against both Israel and the United States, threatening to wipe Israel off the map and saying "Imagine a world without America".

Consider all of this in the context of what both Rosenberg and Hewitt call "the 12th Imam" - a situation where the Iranian President believes that within the next few years the 12th Imam (the Islamic Messiah) will return, and it is part of the Iranian President's destiny (or so he says) to usher in that return. There is striving here, towards something, an end of the world senario where radical Islam is saved and it's enemies are dealt with.

Scary Senario...
