    Show of hands: Who believes that if Iran is going to get a nuclear weapon in the next few years, it will use it?

    with me where I am (View Comment):

    There is no way to be sure, but it’s not a chance I ‘d want to take. Put this way, if there is a 10% chance that Iran would use it, that’s not a percentage I’d want to live with.

    I see sense in what you say. Of course, that implies that your foreign policy--I mean, American foreign policy--would have to calculate carefully what it would cost to prevent it. Of course, we're all aware how successful your Messers. Clinton & Bush, Jr., were in paying for North Korea to acquire nuclear capabilities, so maybe this is fantasizing. While we're at it, I feel the question of the Iranian nuke should be addressed together with the question of the Pakistani nuclear arsenal--now, there's a country racing against Iran on the road to nuclear Muslim terrorists. By a show of hands, who believes Islamists, were they to overtake the regime, would use nuclear arms?
