Machette, I watched our friend Tom on a news program last week. He said he thinks we should do what we did in the Cold War and hold our nuclear dominance as a deterrent to Iran, basically saying that we should just make sure they know, if they use nukes, we will "obliterate" (and I'm almost positive that was the word he used) them. He said he would rather use this policy instead of letting "our incompetent administration" start a military invasion.

I think it would be nice if we could do that, but I don't think that Iran can be equated with the Soviet Union, they are different. The fact that Iran ended their announcement of their nuclear development with "Death to America" makes me hesitant to beleive that they will use logic and insight like the Soviets did.

What do you think?
