Well in case you missed it, Iran ain't scared right now. They know Obama would sit on his hands, that is unless the Ayatollah blew them off, until the next guy came in. MAD was for a day when commanders-in-chief did not wear onesies to nighty night. Right now the only thing protecting us is the providence of God.

If you are suggesting President Obama would not respond to a perpetrated act of war, I do not take that seriously. North Korea's "Senor Loco" appears unafraid of China, Russia, and the US. Iran's leaders pull these stunts to gain credibility at home. In my view, they want nothing less than a full, front on confrontation with the US military.

I understand your apocalyptic visions and "one world order" interpretations. I don't necessarily believe God's elect will be around for the antichrist. I think a strong case can be made from Revelations that they won't.
