IRAN
ISRAEL
Now the truth comes out about the reason Iran has restarted their nuclear weapons development, they want to wipe Israel off the map. Knowing this, Iran better watch out. Back in the 80s, Israel flew into Iraqi air space, bombed a nuclear facility and back, without anyone knowing, except the American AWACS planes in the region.

I think you are partly right about the weapons program, but where is this brash and antagonistic sentiment coming from?
This should come as no real surprise to any of us. This past election in Iran was a chance for the people to return to a modern, viable nation with western-like freedoms. Despite a huge movement among young Iranians, they failed to make that happen - whether by an actual lack of a majority or (more likely) a fixed election.
Ahmadinejad gained his momentum with this strategy: He is a self-described principlist (acting politically based on Islamic and revolutionary principles). One of his goals is "putting the petroleum income on people's tables", referring to Iran's oil profits being distributed amongst the poor.
The biggest advantage, perhaps: Ahmadinejad was the only presidential candidate who spoke out against future relations with the United States. This went over well with middle-aged and elderly islamists and patriarchal conservatives, who fear a return to the days of femaile near-equality back in the Shah's 1970's Iran.
