I stand corrected. I made the erroneous assumption that the leaders of Iran would be alive to see the results of these nuclear negotiations. How European of me. Anyway, given the scenario stated by DR. M_ we need not have a security clearance to know what Iranian leaders would or would not do, they’d be dead. Predicting the repercussions of such an operation would be another guessing game altogether - but you make a valid point Dr. We always have to ask ourselves, what are the worst possible consequences if we guess wrong? Is the worst case, worse or better with the fascist Ayatollahs dead, and does it matter who’s credited for their killing? The article is alarmist, true, and it should be. We cannot overlook the nature of these Iranian leaders when we make an offer of this kind. Iranian officials use industrial cranes for public executions… that should be a hint to anyone offering industrial technology to Iran. Iran has not abided by international agreements in the past and is unlikely to abide any in the future. When someone lays out the worst case scenario, as this author has tried to do, you can bet the Iranian regime is going to trump it with a royal flush of bloody hearts. They’re building a utopia for Islamic Fascists and surprise! we’re not in it.
