Why I Don't Fear Iran with Nuclear Weapons

Because Pakistan already has the bomb, and the Pakstani intelligence service ISI is closely linked to "Al Qaeda" and the Taliban.

The Pakistan bomb (which actually exists) is much more of a threat than Iran and its nuclear weapons program (which is years from being able to produce a weapon).

Of course, this fact won't change the fact that the media will try to scare us to death about the Iranian bomb in the next several months-- and the fact that a critical midterm election is coming up has NOTHING to do with it, I'm sure.

More stunningly brilliant logic from the Geostrategic expert Spooked.

I read it. Ahmadinejad is a madman. So what? He's about as popular as Bush is.

The fact is still that Iran is years from having a nuke.

And the point of my post was that even the threat of terrorists getting a nuke from Iran pales in comparison with the threat from pakstan.

A couple of other thoughts on Iran:
1) I truly am not worried about Iran getting nukes and taking over the world, or even Islam taking over the world-- though I know that is the neocons' major wetdream/nightmare
2) what is more of a concern than anything is the US bullying Iran into thinking they have to get nukes to prevent the US from striking them-- nothing is going to push Iran into belligerence more than the US threatening strikes on them. I don't know why conservatives never seem to understand this.
