Our mutually assured destruction, or MAD as it was known in the Pentagon, was, and still is, one the largest deterrents that go along with the responsibilities of any nation that has nuclear weapons capabilities. But the reports that Iran is coming ever closer to the milestone of having nuclear weapons is on everyone's mind. This documentary approaches the questions beyond just "Can Iran build a nuke?" They approach the questions like: "Are they serious?" and "Would they dare?"

Iran's Mentality Questioned

Interviews with former and present administration officials and professors of the eastern philosophies drive this serious message to the viewer: Iran can, and will, continue with their nuclear aspirations. But what can we do about it? A brief look at their political history gives a look into the mentality of the people and leadership for the past 30 years. And a look into the nearby countries views on Iran reveals a fear for their safety if Iran develops a nuclear bomb.

We Aren't Ignorant To Their Ploys

Among the guests interviewed are Former Press Secretary, Bill Gates; Former Homeland Security Advisor, Frances Townsend; Ex-Director of the CIA, P. James Woolsey; and President of the Center For Security Policy, Frank Gaffney. They have also included a lot of threatening statements made by Iranian government officials concerning the U.S. and all our allies. According to statements made by our governemt officials, no matter who does something to stop Iran, the U.S. will be dragged into the fray.

You Need to See This

If you are concerned over the reports globally of Iran's progress in the nuclear programs they already are operating, then this documentary should be watched using some discretion. It could leave you downright paranoid. But if you aren't all that concerned, and are thinking that "Iran is half a world away, and they wouldn't use it if they had it," you should watch it...It's an eye opener.
