What's all this fuss about nuclear weaponry?

Just because a nation buys missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads doesn't mean that nation actually intends to deliver nuclear weapons with them. The Iranians, more specifically, may not even be aware that Israel exists (they are not sure about the Holocaust, you know) and so to assume this latest news poses a threat to Israel or anyone is just plain grabbing at straws. For example, my uncle once bought a pickup truck with a one-ton payload but never put a ton of anything in it.
Thanks to Jihad Watch for the heads up to the timesonline article, here.
"The British government was warned more than two years ago that Iran had illegally acquired a missile system capable of carrying nuclear warheads.... Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, responded by calling the claim that his country aimed to develop nuclear weapons 'a sheer lie'. Iran insists its nuclear programme is for electricity generation."
If Mike Wallace is square with Ahmadinejad, the "witty" and "charming" President of Iran, I am square with him too. Maybe the missiles will allow Iran to rapidly deploy electric transformers throughout the Middle East, for the greater good.
