Iran's President has threatened to "wipe Israel off the map". In these circumstances do you think Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons and, if not, what do you think the international community should do about?

I think that Iran's President is facing enough problems in Iran ... and before storming in there to stop Iran from aquiring weapons of mass destrtuction (seems to me I've heard this somewhere before
), it might be worth considering that "wipe Israel off the map" is more in the line of political rhetoric than a statement of intent. I think you should be more precise when you talk of the "international community" ... what is it exactly that you mean? Is it the military might of the US and its client states? Or is it something more like the General Assembly of the UN?
