This author is a lightweight. Clearly current Iranian leadership would have no qualms about sharing nuclear technology with terrorist organizations who would love to make New York a wasteland.
I always love the liberals. They love to sucker punch President Bush when he cannot respond due to diplomatic realities.
In this case, I think the unspoken reality is that the west doesn’t want Israel to be given a need to unleash their nuclear arsenal. The whole Middle East could go up in flames along with our oil supplies.
I add the point about oil strictly for those readers who see no particular problem with the prospect of a radioactive Middle East. I would also point out that even though we don’t get the majority of our oil from the Middle East, market prices would make major swings with even marginal disruptions of world supply.
One thing that we are facing is a nuclear MiddleEast not just Iran but Saudi Arabia and other MiddleEastern countries are looking to nuclear deterrence. If action isn’t taken on Iran then the MiddleEast will become a nuclear powder keg.
