"Either way, no one should doubt that a nuclear Iran would end the entire notion of global adjudication of nuclear proliferation — as well as remain a recurrent nightmare to civilization itself. "

what sane person could possibly argue with that?

[RichInOC]

"Israel has nuclear weapons, so why single out Iran?"

Because the Israelis aren't nutters. Next?

"Pakistan got nukes and we lived with it."

The Pakistanis aren't nutters, either.

"Who is to say the United States or Russia should have the bomb and not other countries?"

We're not nutters, and neither are the Russians (with some notable exceptions on both sides, none likely to get anywhere near the button).

"Iran has promised to use its reactors for peaceful purposes..."

:-D )))

Ordinary, on the ground Iranians must be made aware of the dangerous position their loony-toon president has put them.

Deliberate, accidental release of 2nd strike damage projections thru the Int'l media might help.

They should be made aware the a MIRV or two will spoil your whole day.

[Noachian]

...the administration apparently does not wish to relive the nightmare of the past three years in which striking Iran will conjure up all the old Iraqi-style hysteria ...

Then unleash the Israelis. They have more to lose from a nuclear Iran than we do, and they're perfectly competent enough to stage a successful attack.

great post..

[P-40]

In nuclear poker, the appearance of derangement is an apparent advantage.


I thought he was talking about Al Gore....

[CBart95]

Hanson's worst writing ever.

A dog's breakfast of insider commentary thrown together like dirty laundry.

[Conservomax]

color me paranoid, but militant islam (iran) with nukes scares me more than militant commies (N. Korea).
