Iran - nuclear or not?

Iranian history shows a proud nation; an independently minded nation. As Persia, a long time ago, Iran had a powerful, civilised empire. Now it feels small and slighted and weak. So what does it do? It kicks out defiantly trying to regain kudos. And it has a budding dictator at its head who needs to puff himself up like a parody of Mussolini. Unlike Pakistan and India, who at least have some very small justification for nuclear defence to keep each other at bay; Iran has absolutely no need for nuclear weapons, none; and at heart it knows it. So what is the answer? Well, not war; war is the LAST resort. No, what do you do to get someone to give you something, but the someone is in need of a lot of puffing up. Well you puff them up and make them feel big, make them feel they gain personally by being your friend. Do it right and things will work out the way they should. It's not rocket science.
