Further, how much power does the President of Iran actually have? Can he declare war or launch nuclear missiles on his own responsibility? Isn't the nominal head of government the Imam, Khamenei (sp?)? I have read, albeit from only one source, that Ahmadinejad has very little to do with the actual foreign policy of his nation.

If he retains the support of the IIRGC he has the power to do as he wishes. They control the money and the guns and are the real power brokers. In fact there is a real chance that at some point in the future the clerics and the thugs are going to have a show down.

But America and Israel are not one and the same nation. America stood 270 years before Israel became a state.

1947-1776/1783= 173-164 years
