Logic behind the Iranian Mullahs Desperation for nuclear weapons

Why do the Mullahs of Iran desperately want ot hoodwink the EU and go ahead with their Nuclear program?

The Mullahs know that their time is running out. Either the Americans go to war against Iran, or Iran will have a democratic revolution by autumn.

Why?

The mullahs know that if they cave-in to the USA/EU/UN then their tyrannized populace will see them as weak and rise up, and the Mullahs will have a democratic revolution on their hands. If the mullahs don't give in, then the Americans will preemptively attack them (the way we attacked Saddam- only ten times harder). This too will lead to a democratic revolution.

Therefore, we predict that between now and winter of 2005 the Mullahs will greatly increase their support of Neojihadist mayhem in lebanon and the disputed territiories - just in order to distract the US from Iran's own deceits on the nuclear front.

All this is not some Beltway Buzz. Condoleezza Rice gave an indication of the US mindset when she replying to a question on how long Washington would wait before deciding to seek tougher action against Iran, Rice said, "I don't want to put a timeline on it, but I think we probably want to make an assessment this summer and see where we are and see how far we've gone."

The Mullahs' filibuster tactics of deception and delay tactics won't work. Bush is not easily deceived; (nor will Sharon be). Resolute men of deep moral conviction rarely are.

It'll soon be action-time folks. Iran will be the theater.
