I'm not gonna lie, but Ahmadinejad took Ignatius to school here with this answer:

Ahmadinejad was absolutely right if you think about it. Seriously, who should be afraid of who? How can an 800 lb. gorilla like US claim an ant like Iran is the threat? This just shows how indoctrinated people are by the media's narrative of the situation.

Why? Because we are THE Super-Power.

If it was just a matter of one annihilating the other, I would agree.

But Iran can give or sell this technology to people who would not care about retaliation (terrorists). That puts us at risk. The fact that Iran cannot destroy us doesnt mean they cant still kill millions of people.

If they can kill millions of people, they can use this as a blackmail tool as well, even if they never launch a single weapon.


The media has taken the above into account. But you were either ignorant of it or chose to ignore it.
