Tehran sees itself facing a state with a US military presence (Iraq) to its west and another one (Afghanistan) to its east. It also has a border with another country (Pakistan), with a fairly pro-US government.</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://endtimesworldnews.punt.nl/upload/iran_map.jpg" href="http://endtimesworldnews.punt.nl/upload/iran_map.jpg" style="font-size: 11px;">endtimesworldnews.punt.nl</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://endtimesworldnews.punt.nl/upload/iran_map.jpg"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/endtimesworldnews.punt.nl/img/33CAD073-860E-4867-AE5B-D02DAB6A79B3" alt="http://endtimesworldnews.punt.nl/upload/iran_map.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/reasons-why-government-of-iran-is.html" href="http://vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/reasons-why-government-of-iran-is.html" style="font-size: 11px;">vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/reasons-why-government-of-iran-is.html"><DIV>If an opposing power to the US had soliders in Canada and Mexico, then the US would surely be nervous. Using this analogy, it can be seen why Tehran is acting in a militaristic fashion and trying hard to get its own nuclear bomb.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/reasons-why-government-of-iran-is.html">It is interesting, though, how rarely commentators do Mr. Clark's intellectual exercise. Right-wing Americans, who are so nationalistic themselves, seem unable to understand that other peoples have equally strong nationalistic views - hence their failure to comprehend the opposition that Arab nationalists would have to their invasion of Iraq and, for that matter, their failure to understand why they are unpopular with progressive-minded nationalists in South America.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D8CE541B-DF54-4E4E-A88D-6D149F27BFDA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
