“Besides, the vast majority of the Iranian population supports the Mullahs.”

Really? Who told you that? The vast majority of the population is under the age of 30 and does NOT support the mullahs.

“We should not conclude that a nuclear Iran is inevitable
Why not?”

Because to assume that it’s inevitable means that you stop trying to prevent it and all you do is think about how to live with it. And that’s Wrong.

I wish inserting the word ‘liberal’ made your paragraph accurate, unfortunately, it doesn’t, as there are plenty of conservatives who seem convinced of those arguments as well (though, I don’t necessarily agree with them)

AIUT, that does apply in the city, whereas the countryside is another story.

No, that's only one side of that coin. The other side is you actually stopping it before it gets any further, so as to change the course.

They're not conservatives. There are quite a few libertarians on this board, with extremely varied views on foreign policy from individual to individual; however, those that sympathize with Ron Paul are isolationists and regrettably naïve on foreign policy. The rest are CINOs who for some reason wish to appear conservative but are truly liberal.
