Nuts with Nukes

This is like holding your hand in front of your face and daring Arnold Schwarzeneggar to hit it.

Or volunteering for Olympic javelin goalie, shark repellant testing, whatever.

Haven't they been paying attention?

The US isn't Europe.

We're still smarting from 9/11.

Bush backs up words with deeds (now THERE'S a novel international relations concept).

Every nuclear power on the planet will slew their aiming reticles over Teheran 4.3 nanofarts after the first successful Iranian test.

There are nuclear nation states out there physically closer to Iran with less reluctance about rubble-izing rival states, particularly ones who are proven sources of problems and theocratic. Sure, they'd probably love to see New York City melt (literally) but can you imagine the phone call after one of these party favors from Hell is popped over, say, Tel Aviv? (And these things are as identifiable as fingerprints.) I can hear the Batphone call now--"We're erasing them...questions?"

The rhetoric from those morons challenges the very concept of deterrence ("We're not afraid to die! We're comin' after you 'cause our God says we can!")

You wanna see preemption suddenly become even more attractive than it was in 2003?

Sure, you have to bluster once in awhile for your base...BUT NOT ABOUT NUKES.

What's wrong with these guys? A little help here.
