Mr. Peter Ssenyange;
Your article below seems to suggest that Billions of people all throughout the world who seem to believe that the Jewish state , Isreal, is an aggressor nation in the Middle East, are wrong!
Over the years, for your information, the Jewish nation has elected some politicians who seem to believe in perpetuating more violence in the Middle East . ..and as they say Violence Beget more violence... more like a circle!!!
Efforts of "yellow Line" politicians like former Isreali Prime Minister Yizak Rabin ( who was assasinated) for pursing peaceful avenues to resolve the Middle East Crises, have been pretty much dismissed by the Isreali hardliners.... the so called "Isreali hawks if you like" Indeed Rabin legacy has been religated to the dustbin of history.
The "hawks" believe in wars ..more wars..killings..and "toughness" and they have thus far prevailed.
Regarding Iranian Nuclear weapons, I tend to believe that the genie is pretty much out of the bottle. That is to say... the technological Know how, given advance education all throughout the world, required to build Nuclear weapons is out there for the taking.
Members of the International Community ( using diplomacy) can or could prevent Iran, albiet temporarily, from obtaining Nuclear weapons for may be 5, 10 , 15, years.
But 20 years down the line the state of Iran, if they so wish, may actually obtain the Bomb. You will then have two nuclear armed nations in the Middle East, Iran and Isreali ( assuming syria is not working to obtain the bomb) . Politics, as we know it in th emiddle east will and MUST change..otherwise the world is doomed!!

Iran is global concern not the State of Israel
Even the most casual observer today of world news events would have to wonder why a sliver of land about 50 miles wide and 200 miles long such as Israel, should occupy the whole world's attention, and pose such a potential geo-political and geo-religious danger to the entire world.
Oppressive and murderous regimes dot the political landscape all around the globe, and yet the world views tiny little domesticated and friendly Israel as the most vile and aggressive nation in the world.
Most of the world actually views Israel as the single greatest threat to world peace on the planet.
In Europe, eight out of 10 Europeans named Israel as the top contender for being the most serious threat to world peace. This is a hard statistic to fathom in light of the fact that Israel has never launched an offensive war against any of its neighbours.
In reality, it is Israel's neighbours that pose the greatest threat to world peace.
Iran is not only actively engaged in terrorism and fundamentalism as fundamental weapons of state, but in all aspects of nuclear research and weapons development.
With these tools of irregular and strategic warfare, coupled with its substantial and educated population, its pivotal geographic location, and its energy resources, Iran is the leading country in the Middle East.
More to this, Iran is a known sponsor of Islamic terrorism and has openly said it will use nuclear weapons against Israel.
Why is this fact being ignored by the world when the facts are screaming for attention?
