What if Iran got the bomb??
By Robert Farley, Foreign Policy, July 7, 2009

The political survival of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has moved the question of Iran’s nuclear program back to the center of U.S. diplomacy. Iran, it is argued, cannot be allowed to build nuclear weapons because its leaders say crazy things, wear funny hats without ties, and believe that God will reward them with virgins and whatnot for consuming friendly countries in a nuclear firestorm. Iranians, in short, are so different, weird, and threatening that they cannot be trusted with the bomb. Fortunately, no such state has ever successfully developed nuclear weapons…except for the People’s Republic of China (PRC). And this historical analogy holds a highly relevant lesson for today.

WHAT IF THEY DON'T?

sounds like to this Jew Israel is going to bomb Iran BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A BOMB.

Is that warped or what?

What if Israel couldn't wantanly destroy another country, because this time the opposition could destroy her?

And, if it comes to pass that now there is an attack BY ISRAEL, that leads me to the obvious conclusion- israel was behind the attempted overthrow of a duly elected leader last month, and that the twitters and all were PHONY PSY0PS by the bullwinkle squad.
(and the same with hondouras coup'detat-
I smell another Iran/Contra type by the same people who did the last ones

(and with Rush and Sarah yapping about overthrowing the president here, I fear another JFK event, and unfortuantely Joe Biden(Mr.Insurance industry) is NO LBJ.
We are in deep doodoo.
