One point worth bearing in mind. The real danger of Iran’s nuclear weapons is to Iran itself. Two reasons why: First, once Iran has nukes, there’s a real danger that someone might take their threats very seriously, and act pre-emptively. One of the reasons nuclear powers always speak very softly about their weapons is precisely to avoid that danger. No one wants an accidental nuclear war, but no one wants to take the risk of being hit: thus, Iran can threaten as much as it likes so long as it doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Once it does, the dangers of aggressive words grow enormously.
Second, the most dangerous time for Iran is right after it tests its first nuclear weapon. The primary key to MAD is mutually assured destruction: when Iran tests its first weapon it becomes a nuclear power, but without a return strike capability, thus opening itself to truly mortal peril.
It will be very interesting to see how Iran solves these problems.

I really appreciate participation in the comments, and also emails regarding suggestions for future posts. Randpost, your comments are welcomed, but I would appreciate it if you would be sympathetic to my writing and points, and refrain from jumping all over them. I also appreciate your comments at my home blog.

Free speech does not apply on blogs, which tend to be owned by people. Also, blind anti-Americanism is so boring and tired. We get a fair amount of that here in San Francisco, where people hate any form of authority, whether it’s good or bad.

According to randpost logic, If someone was about to kill him and his family with a knife, and randpost possessed 2 guns, he would have to toss one to the attacker to make it a fair fight. I mean if randpost has a gun, why can’t everybody. This ignores the simple fact that in this scenario one person is using weapon for a good reason while the other is using it for an immoral reason. Not to be outdone by the obvious absurdity of his argument, randpost ignorantly lurches forward and in a breathtaking display of sickening hypocrisy, he raises the banner of freedom of speech in defense of the country that would deny that right to all mankind.
