lebell: i understand your argument, but i do not find it compelling.
maybe inside this is an explanation for our political divergences.
keep in mind also that the iranian nuclear program was sully supported by the united states under that swell guy the shah--keep in mind also that folk do not forget the american support of the shah and would react to an american invasion of iran in ways that would make iraq seem like a day at the beach.
of course, none of this necessarily impedes the dovetailing of paranoia into rationalizations of wholly insane military adventures--but in iran, the picture into which the americans would walk is a picture the americans themselves have made.
why is it so implausible that much of the posturing from iran on the question of nuclear weapons is just that?
