>> I doubt that the Bushies think the Iranians are going to conquer the world with 30 nukes, but I think they're afraid they are going to lose their bully power in the critical ME

That is true. But that is the upper crust of the elite and not your run of the mill neocon. Those guys are driven by greed, pride, and hate...just the same I'd rather not have them around.

>> I read a paper a while back that says our foreign policy going forward is to prevent ANY country from aquiring the means to challenge us, by any means necessary.
