re: Aren't you a big UN fan - they have asked these guys to not build a weapon and they continue - when will you step up and enforce some laws and the will of the international community.

The UN is the Security Council. That's the only power... the rest is rhetoric. Understanding that first, you need to get the Security Council to act with teeth, and that takes someone with diplomatic skills and a good feel for quid pro quo. That we don't have right now.

re: Your ability to rationalize away dangers is apparently boundless.

Even if Iran presently had a nuke, and they don't and probably won't, our biggest security threat is imported oil. Even one terrorist nuke explosion in the US (as unlikely as that is) isn't going to bring down this country... our oil dependency has the potential to do just that; and the danger scenarios are much, much more likely.
