He added: "(Iran) cannot have a nuclear weapon, because you, in Greenville, will not be safe."

China and Russia have thousands of nuclear weapons and ICBMs to carry them and the people of Greenville are supposed to feel uneasy over the possibility of Iran someday making a handful of bombs. Has hysteria overtaken logic in mainstram political thinking?

No wonder such a novice like Mr. Obama is president in these times.

No -- China and Russia are the old pattern of MAD.

Iran is an entirely new proposition - they don't adhere to MAD because they think the Last Imam is coming any day now and the world is going to end, and they will be happy to help it along. A jihad terrorist could carry one of Iran's nukes into Greenville and detonate it at Bob Jones University.

Greenville is not a logical target (you'd think a military installation or something financial would make more sense) - but as far as striking terror into ordinary Americans, the illogicality of it would be an effective tool.

And the Iranian government is just nutty enough to try something of the kind.
