Yes.
But HOW?
That's the rub.
We have to stop them.
But we CAN'T stop them.
So we have to figure out how to deal with a nuclear-armed Iran.
The Iranians aren't bluffing, but we and the Europeans are. The Iranians know it too, and keep calling the bluff and moving ahead. Once they have the weapons, the Europeans and the Americans will storm off in a huff and issue something strongly worded to the effect of "We are VERY put out!" and then we'll have to deal with a MAD situation with Iran: they don't nuke Tel Aviv, the Israelis don't nuke Teheran. Worked against the USSR. It's all we've really got against Iran, because the will's just not there for a war.

I don't think so this time around. The Ayatollahs of Iran are crazies. If they get the bomb, they'll use it. I personally think that both Europe, America and Israel are not bluffing about this one. It is the Chinese and Russians that are the countries that we have to worry about. They figure if a nuclear war starts in the Middle East it is not their problem. They will just walk in after the fact and take over. Their ideology will will win without a shot being fired. Albeit the lands will be radioactive for years to come. But what will they care, theirs will not be.
