Our intelligence agencies misjudged the Soviets and we came that close to a nuclear war. The Iranians are not going to demonstrate such restraint, if heaven forbid, they get The Bomb.

I read a very interesting comparison of the mindsets existential Soviets and the Islamists a while ago. It pointed out that the Soviets wouldn't risk all since they believed there was nothing else beyond their lives on earth. The Islamists, however. had their paradise and virgins to look forward to.
This is the one time I agreed with atheists.
