The second argument against regime change is that even if it succeeds, a democratic Iran will still want the bomb How bent out of shape are we that France has the bomb? Or India? If Iran were democratic, we could feel fairly sure that some lone nutcase wouldn't set it off as part of some apocalyptic vision. We don't know that now. How can Beinart even think that such a silly argument will carry weight? Is he unable to discriminate between the behavior of a democracy and a dictatorship, or notice that weapons in the hands of a democracy, even one not particularly allied to the US, are not half so worrisome as weapons in the hands of theocratic oligarchy of mullahs that is, bar none, the world's chief supporter of terrorist proxy forces?
