Disagree. I belong to the deterrence school. Deterrence worked with the USSR; it works between India and Pakistan; it’ll work with Iran if they go nuclear. They’re nasty, but they don’t want to get nuked in retaliation.
Deterrence isn’t a concern for a culture that encourages suicide bombers. And do you honestly think that Obama will nuke Iran if Iran nukes Israel?
I think he’d throw a party.
