Hi,

Quote:I'm just not completely sure that the man running Iran is smart enough to know what the rule is about using nukes.I share your concern. Against a society where sacrificing your life to blow up a few of the people you hate is an acceptable mental state, is mutually assured destruction a viable strategy? Perhaps this generation of leaders, perhaps the next, are safe (I wouldn't completely count on it), but when will the true zealots, the true fanatics gain that power -- or even just access? Rational deterrents only work on rational people, and a lot of the Arab leaders don't seem to fit that category.
