This man should not be allowed near nuclear weapons!

Quote:I suspect Iran actually does want the nukes for their deterrent value, not for the apocalyptic fantasies people are bellowing about in the press. If you look at their strategic situation, a nuclear deterrent posture makes sense. They don't have a lot of friends, and a lot of their neighbors have nukes. India, Pakistan, Russia, Israel ...

Yes, it does make sense. I'm just not completely sure that the man running Iran is smart enough to know what the rule is about using nukes. Launch some nukes at 9 AM, and you'll have some sent back to you by 9:30...

Nukes are deterrents. Using them has a horrible price. We just hope that he's not so stupid that he thinks that he won't have to pay that price if he uses his new toys.
