The Saudis gave China an open ended contract to supply them with nukes to protect themselves form the insane Iran leaders. Give Iran a bomb and Israel will be their first target. I guess some want a nuclear war.

I think the the school of thought is called “defensive realism”. Nuclear weapons are “defensive” weapons that deter attack. And a stable balance of power is the guarantee of peace.

The author is missing one itty-bitty, tiny crumb of information that really negates his entire position.

IRAN HAS REPEATEDLY AFFIRMED THAT THEY INTEND TO WIPE ISRAEL OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH (alah willing).

That is kind of important as Iran would not be able to remotely consider forcing that issue with conventional military engagement.

Once Iran crosses the nuclear threshold, deterrence will apply, even if the Iranian arsenal is relatively small.

All his arguments assume rational players.

In the real world, Iran is run by people who believe that if they can initiate World War IV, they can coax Imam XII out of his little well and they will go to heaven.

Israel's regional nuclear monopoly, which has proved remarkably durable for the past four decades, has long fueled instability in the Middle East

Been a long time since I've seen something so breathtakingly stupid in print.

I would be in favor of an article “Why we should bomb Iran with Nuclear Weapons.”

The point of this idiot is that if you give a homicidal psychopath the an atomic bomb, that will make them less likely to do something homicidal.

Gosh, where could the flaw be in that logic.

The author ascribes old outdated Cold War style “balance” thinking to a regime that believes it can force the islamic messiah The Mahdi to appear by using nukes on their enemies.
The author needs a dose of reality and quick.

Waltz is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley.

He is a leading proponent of the academic theory of "structural realism" in international relations, and accordingly, highly gifted in the art of rectal-cranial infarction.

This writer shows signs of a rectal cranial inversion, I believe.

I think we should give the bomb to Iran. In fact, I believe we should give them a bunch of bombs. Dropped from very high and carpet bomb them into the stone age.

So with this logic, all criminals should be given guns to balance the power with police.
