Taro, I think that article is a good one. Here's something to think about, though. If Iran wasn't pursuing nuclear weapons, then leaving them alone would be a no brainer. I've always thought that Iran, of all countries in the Middle East, is the closest to democracy. They have all the institutions in place and they have the will of the people in place. The only thing preventing full blown democracy there is the theocrat veto held by Khamenia and his Council.

However, the pursuit of nuclear weapons trumps every other issue in my mind. We simply cannot allow the world's largest sponsor of terror to get their hands on a nuclear weapon. Even if that means we set the potential for democracy back 50 years in Iran, we can't let Iran get ahold of a nuke.
