If you watch the debates, you will see that there are four candidates. The other three are critical of Ahmadinejad' foreign policy. They argue that Iran must not behave in this manner on the word stage. They denounce the extreme language used by Ahmadinejad. They repeatedly maintain that Iran is not seeking to become a nuclear power.
Several years ago, the media was reporting that Iran was set to have nuclear weapons within six months, a year or two years. So far, there is no indication that this has happened. I recall reading the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The problem with Iran is that its leaders do not know how to speak to the international community in reassuring terms. What we are seeing today during the election campaign gives us a great deal of hope about Iran's future and its commitment to the international community.
