I Can Hardly Believe What These 12 Caricatures [about Prophet Muhammad] Have Caused In The World. We Danes Feel Like We Have Been Placed In A Scene In The Wrong Movie. But I Don't See The Fight As A Clash Of Civilizations. Rather, We Must Focus On Avoiding Exactly This Type Of Conflict. We Have To Return To Dialogue, To Mutual Understanding And To An Acknowledgement Of Freedom Of Opinion.

Iran Also Has An Extensive Missile Development Programme. Iranian Officials Declare That The Range Of Their Modified Shahab-3 Missiles Is 2,000km, Putting Allied Countries Such As Turkey, Greece, Romania, And Bulgaria Within Reach.

Russia Should Recognize The Freedom Of Countries, Such As Ukraine, To Choose Their Alliances.

But Iran Has Gone Far Beyond What Is Necessary For A Purely Civilian Programme. It Has Concealed Several Nuclear Facilities From The International Atomic Energy Agency, Played Hide-and-seek With The International Community, And Rejected All Offers Of Co-operation From The U.s., The Eu, And Others.
