Olagh jewn,
You are making assertions and arriving at conclusions all on you
own. .
The US NIE did not provide any evidence to say that Iran was
weaponising pre-2003. It is just a statement inserted in there as a
bargaining chip with Dick Cheney and Co who have suppressed the report
for so long. In fact, even NeoCon supporters like this bitch who
writes for a sister paper of the Fox News have noticed:

But one rider is necessary: the report would have far more power to
convince if it included evidence of the weapons programme that it says
existed. Such evidence has eluded UN inspections, and there must be a
whisper of doubt - which, after Iraq, the US cannot afford - that the
US does not possess it in solid form. The National Intelligence
Estimate, compiled from reports by US spies, says that Iran stopped
pursuing nuclear weapons in 2003, after the invasion of Iraq. That
marks a shift from two years ago, when a similar report concluded that
Iran was still pursuing such efforts in secret, as well as the
civilian work it openly discloses.

It is pefectly legitimate for Iran to accept the gist of the US that
agrees with Iran's position but demanding proof on allegations of
misdeed which are not supported by fact.

Dear Rafsanjani keer khor,
The evidence is there and JJE and your president have said that the report
is correct.
RAFSANJANI SAYS MUSLIMS SHOULD USE NUCLEAR WEAPON AGAINST ISRAEL
TEHRAN 14 Dec. (IPS) One of Iran?s most influential ruling cleric called
Friday on the Muslim states to use nuclear weapon against Israel, assuring
them that while such an attack would annihilate Israel, it would cost them
"damages only".
"If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms
Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a
stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing
in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim
world", Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani told the crowd at the
traditional Friday prayers in Tehran.
Analysts said not only Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani?s speech was the strongest
against Israel, but also this is the first time that a prominent leader of
the Islamic Republic openly suggests the use of nuclear weapon against the
Jewish State.
"It seems that Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani is forgetting that due to the present
intertwinement of Israel and Palestine, the destruction of the Jewish State
would also means the mass killing of Palestinian population as well",
observed one Iranian commentator.
While Israel is believed to possess between 100 to 200 nuclear war heads,
the Islamic Republic and Iraq are known to be working hard to produce their
own atomic weapons with help from Russia and North Korea, Pakistan, also a
Muslim state, has already a certain number of nuclear bomb.
In a lengthy speech to mark the so-called "International Qods (Jerusalem)
Day" celebrated in Iran only, Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani, who, as the Chairman
of the Assembly to Discern the Interests of the State, is the Islamic
Republic?s number two man after Ayatollah Ali Khameneh?i, said since Israel
was an emanation of Western colonialism therefore "in future it will be the
interests of colonialism that will determine existence or non-existence of
Israel".
Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani made the unprecedented threat as, following new
suicide operations inside Israel and against Israeli settlements by
Palestinian extremists in PA-controlled zones, responded by Israel?s
heaviest bombarding of Palestinian cities, police, communication and radio-
television installations, killing and wounding more than 200 people on both
sides, resulted in the halting of all contacts between Israel and the PA of
Mr. Yaser Arafat.
He said since Israel is the product of Western colonialism, "the continued
existence of Israel depends on interests of arrogance and colonialism and
as long as the base is helpful for colonialism, it is going to keep it.
Hashemi-Rafsanjani advised Western states not to pin their hopes on
Israel's violence because it will be "very dangerous".
"We are not willing to see security in the world is harmed", he said,
warning against the "eruption of the Third World War.
"War of the pious and martyrdom seeking forces against peaks of colonialism
will be highly dangerous and might fan flames of the World War III", the
former Iranian president said, backing firmly suicide operations against
Israel.
Quoted by the official news agency IRNA, Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani said
weakening of Palestinian Jihad is "unlikely", as the Palestinians have come
to the conclusion that talks would be effective only "in light of struggle
and self-sacrifice- the two key elements that gave way to beginning of the
second Intifada".
Iranian analysts and commentators outside Iran immediately reacted to Mr.
Hashemi-Rafsanjani?s statement, expressing fear that it might trigger an
international backlash against Iran itself, giving Israel, the United
States and other Western and even Arab nations to further isolate Iran as a
source of threat to regional security.
"Jews shall expect to be once again scattered and wandering around the
globe the day when this appendix is extracted from the region and the
Muslim world", Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani warned, blaming on the United States
and Britain the "creation of the fabricated entity" in the heart of Arab
and Muslim world.
"The man who considers himself as the most able politician in the Islamic
Republic utters such nonsense and empty threats at a very time that the
hard line and extremist government of Israel under Mr. Ariel Sharon is
looking for justification of its repressive policy against Palestinians",
said Mr. Ahmad Salamatian, a veteran political analyst based in Paris.
"At a time that the right wing Israeli government is claiming that the very
existence of Israel and the Jews are threatened and uses this pretext as an
instrument to advance its policy of repression in Palestine, such
statements and ushering such dangerous menaces by one of Iran?s top
officials is nothing but bringing water to Israel?s propaganda mill,
providing it with more justifications explaining its present maximalist
policy", he told the Persian service of Radio France Internationale.
Though Mr. Salamatian is of the opinion that Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani?s words
are part of both his own show and the ongoing internal tensions between
conservatives and reformers, however, he also agrees with other Iranian
analysts that his "untimely" menace could backfire, becoming a
justification for threats against Iran, at a time that the United States
and its allies are determined to continue the fight against international
terrorism.
"One of Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani?s main characteristics in Iranian politics
during the past twenty years is that in order to preserve his own position,
he is ready to set fire to all the Caesareas for one handkerchief,
including, in the present case, providing Israel with enough pretext to
attack Iran", he noted, adding: "for the time being and what is important
for Mr. Sharon is that this kind of statements are open invitation for more
violence, an encouragement to extremists on either side of the Israel-
Palestine conflict".
Observing that despite the fact that Israel is believed to have more than
one hundred atomic warheads and the necessary technology to transport them
to the very heart of Iran and elsewhere, but no Israeli official nor any
newspaper have ever raised the slightest possibility of an atomic threat,
"even in defence of their very existence", Mr. Salamatian wondered the
reasons behind Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani?s declaration, which he said should
be taken seriously "considering the rank of the man who pronounced it".
