I dont think its prudent for a nation to make foreign policy decisions based on the reaction of Ali-the-middle-eastern-guy-selling-carpets-in-the-market.
The whole point is to intimidate a whack job like Ahmadinejad to let him know that he can run his mouth all he wants but if push comes to shove he's toast. Missiles in your bedroom speak louder than pacifism.
