So, you want to trust Arm-in-a-dinner-jacket and that's entirely your prerogative.
As I understand it Israel were never signatories to the' Nuclear non-proiferation treaty' whereas Iran are.
I cannot find my self trusting any leader who publicly affirms his intention to 'wipe another nation state off the planet'
I'm not a Jew, and hold no brief for Israel, I think it's Givernment are often ill judged and overly hawkish. I believe Palestine should haveas much right to it's own destiny and frankly, the Palestinians have been robbed.However, the whole festering mess that is the middle-east is a blot on the planet. Most of the people there want to live in peace but it often seems that many males - especially those under the age of forty want to kill, kill, and kill again. Waving the AK47's above their heads like triumphant totems. Iran's theocracy has more to fear from a growing resentment in it's more enlightened youth than from George Bush.
Iran will however simply not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons programme. There is no chance of a land invasion, and every chance of a limited nuclear bunker-busting strike. I hope they will see sense and avoid breaking the treaty they signed.
I didn't read the full transcript of Arm's speech. Frankly I'm not interested enough beyond knowing I trust nobody of his ilk.
