		<description><![CDATA[My point was that for the Hujetieh  Shi&#039;a  the doctrine of mutuallly assured destruction MAD would not work where as for the Sunni it stilll does. Therefore Iran is much more difficult to deter than Pakistan.

German scholar, Mattias Kuntzel:

There are other dictatorships in the world. But only in Iran are the fantasy-worlds of antisemitism and religious mission linked with technological megalomania and the physics of mass destruction. The specific danger presented by the Iranian nuclear option stems from the unique ideological atmosphere surrounding it – a mixture of holy war and high-tec, of antisemitism and weapons-grade uranium, of death-wish and missile research, of Shiite messianism and plutonium

 

Matthias Küntzel - Antisemitism, Messianism and the Cult of Sacrifice:The Iranian Holy War
http://www.madisdead.blogspot.co.il/2012/09/matthias-kuntzel-antisemitism_8.html

Raphael Israeli, a Hebrew University scholar of Islam  about MAD:

According to Shi&#039;ite eschatology, the end of the world will come with the return of the Imam, whose arrival will be announced by violent pangs, unrest, wars, injustice and misery; and all the more, the more imminent his coming. Namely, mad leaders like Ahmadinejad, who are full of hatred and bellicosity, and imbued with messianic zeal and unimpressed by any worldly circumstances or restrictions, might very well, especially when controlling nuclear powers, decide to use them regardless of the costs or the consequences, as long as it will hasten the return of the Imam. For then, even the worst errors made by human leaders would, in their view, be redressed in an instant by the omnipotent Imam in the new post-apocalyptic world.

		<description><![CDATA[There is a  difference. Pakistan is Sunni. Iran is Shi&#039;a. In addition to Jihad the Shi&#039;a have their Twelver eschatology and the Mahdi. I suggest you read the answer to  question 5 of the quiz below:

		<description><![CDATA[Iran&#039;s first use of a nuclear bomb may not be over Israel,but the US,a HEMP attack. A HEMP attack on the US would set us back to 19th century living conditions we are NOT prepared for,and many millions would die from starvation and disease in the first year. It could mean the end of the US. Iran has been testing SCUD launches from containerships,with HIGH altitude detonations characteristic of an EMP attack,and not usable for attacks with conventional warheads . This type of attack is not needed for Israel,Iran&#039;s IRBMs already can reach Israel. But with the US crippled or destroyed,Iran is free to do as they please,without any other Western nation able or willing to interfere with them. 

Then there&#039;s the other major nuke option;the &quot;Test Baker&quot; scenario. 
But that would only affect NYC or the DC area,not the entire nation as would an EMP attack.]]></description>
