Big words, wrong message

"It is the world's interest that Iran not have a nuclear weapon," said Bush, adding that Iran must not "have capacity to blackmail free societies."
Wow. Big words, but what message does this really convey:
* That only once Iran joins the club of nuclear powers will its people really be free, but the world would rather keep them enslaved?
* That only once Iran becomes a nuclear power will they be allowed to blackmail?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany "would not be intimidated by a country like Iran."
* That once Iran develops nuclear weapons they will actually worry Germany?

Seems to me that these words would further strengthen their purported desire to develop a nuclear program (and annihilate the world to bring about the next messiah), and I'm not sure that's a good place to go.
