While many Iranians hate the Mullahs they don't hate a nuclear Iran. They hate the repressive theocracy. What is the theory, that with the Mullahs gone Iran will abandon nukes? I see no connection. And I don't have the faith in the anti- Mullah populace that some seem to.
The nuclear program has to be eliminated.
" What is the theory, that with the Mullahs gone Iran will abandon nukes?"
A friendly gov't with nukes isn't a problem.
But here's my theory.....When the regime collapses, the people will busy putting their gov't and country and lives back together and nukes won't be at the top of the list. The country's infrastructure has suffered greatly over the past 25 yrs, so there's a lot of work to do and that will take lots of money. They'll put the nukes on the back burner, so to speak.
