KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that he sees no possibility of a war between his country and the United States or Israel.

"I assure you that there won't be any war in the future," Ahmadinejad told a news conference during a visit to Malaysia for a summit of developing Muslim nations.

Ahmadinejad's comments came less than 24 hours after Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that its forces were carrying out a military drill involving "missile squads" and warned that the country would retaliate against any military strike by targeting Tel Aviv and U.S. warships in the Gulf.

Iranian officials have been issuing a mix of conciliatory and bellicose statements in recent weeks about the possibility of a clash with the U.S. and Israel.

Saddam did not want or seek war with the US either. He was attacked without provocation.

4. We all know this is inevitable

And they'll probably put Ahmadinejad's head on a pike when they do- even though he's not the one who calls the shots there.

Hard to believe we are going to witness a nuclear war. I thought we were done with that after the fall of the USSR.

8. Why does everyone seem to think this will be a nuclear war?

Bombing nuclear facilities is not a nuclear war. Who is going to use nuclear weapons?

13. Welcome to DU

And if you haven't gotten the memo yet, Bush's plans for these nuke facilities(which when blown up will release enough garbage into the atmosphere) include "tactical" nuke bunker busters.

We are currently planning on preemptively nuking a country that has no nukes of it's own. A new low, even for us.

5. Good.

It's beginning to look as though both sides are backing off a bit with the sabre-rattling.

And long may it continue!

Obama instead of Bush/McNut as president might help.

12. Iran isn't the one threatening to attack -- only respond if attacked.

In other words, it is going to defend itself.

Amazing, isn't it?
