@ Phydeaux "Obviously many people here hate American power. But you tell me what happens to the balance of power in the gulf if Iran gets nukes. " If what you say is true, Iran points theirs at Israel, Israel points their at Iran, and you have a middle East Cold War.... I lived through part of the Cold War here, knew where the fallout shelters were in my elementary school, we ducked under desks a couple of times a year, moved in an orderly fashion to the basement of the building, and sat against the walls of the hallway. Mutually assured destruction seems to be a pretty good deterant, it seems for all the posturing, there is still only one country who has ever used a nuke.
