    The comments by deputy head of Iran’s armed forces Gen. Mohammed Hejazi were carried by Fars agency on Tuesday.

    “We do not wait for enemies to take action against us,” says Hejazi, who heads the military’s logistical wing. “We will use all our means to protect our national interests.”

    The U.S. and Israel have not ruled out military action against Iran’s nuclear program, which they say is aimed at developing weapons technology. Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes.

    It appears that the Iranians have become the masters of stiring the pot of world trouble and threats. They appear now to threaten to strike first if in their opinion they want to. Is this logic no different than Israel’s right to go after those who threaten their very existence with a first strike. For those who feel that the US has no dog in this fight, they are wrong. The Iranians are a regional and possibly a worldwide threat to all civilized nations.

    Iran has always expressed that it was willing to wipe out another nation (primarily Yisroel). However, they are learning to use the rhetoric that Western nations use, i.e. “we will protect ourselves should we feel threatened” instead of “kill them all, ahhh! We are crazy for Jihad! Argh!!!”

    I say “Better the devil you know.” Someone should take care of them while they are perceived as a crazy nation… once they turn the world opinion around and get everyone thinking that they would only do things for “self defense”, then it will cause a lot harsher of a repercussion for US/Israel (whoever strikes Iran first).
