Why was there mass celebration in the streets of Indian and Pakistan when each country went nuclear? Because it meaned that got to eat at the adults' table, not at the kids' table. That's what Iran wants. The question is, how much blood is it worth to prevent Iran from eating at the adults' table? This idea that Iran will detonate a nuke the first moment possible is not one I give any credence to. |

I'm not saying that we need a war with Iran. I'm just saying that I believe Iran will nuke Israel and the US the first chance it gets.

There's a lot of things you and I want to see the world without. It doesn't mean that we invest our blood in making it happen. Iran wants to be the big dog in the region. It wants to the strong regime that is the envy of the middle east. While all the other regimes tuck their tales, Iran says "you are not going to push us around." Do we really feel like knocking out this punk kid, knowing we are going to break our hand in the process? |

Seymour Hersh has been all over the Iran issue for the past couple of years. His recent article had this story. Very interesting, if true.

Gates is probably the most competent person in the entire Bush administration past and present.
