I am not talking about NYC or the US. I am discussing your total failure of logic. Tell me why the fact that something has not occurred in the past necessarily means that it is impossible that it will occur in the future. I never got married...until I got married. I never got a law degree....until I got one. I never kissed a girl....until I kissed one. Never drove a car.....until I drove one. Never wrote this message....until I wrote it. And on and on. If you are saying that Iran is a peaceful country, with no history of aggressiveness, and that you believe that this lack of aggressiveness will continue, then that is a different thing. But simply arguing that Iran hasn't attacked anyone in 300 years, a proposition I doubt but will concede for purposes of argument, is incomplete and illogical. Be prepared to establish three things, namely, (1) a history of peacefulness, (2) that will continue into the future for X or Y or Z reasons, despite (3) contrary evidence consisting of aggressive and martial rhetoric backed up by attempts to manufacture items which can be used to make nuclear weapons.
