Yes, absolutely I do. Why am I sitting in the most powerful country in the world and am worried about Iran, a country which is the most powerful in the Middle East, but is nothing compared to America? Because we learned that asymmetric warfare renders our power meaningless to protect ourselves from a few men willing to end their own lives in an attempt to kill Americans. The Iranian leader is crazy enough to use nukes or pass them to terrorists who would use them against us and there is so very little we can do to stop that. We physically audit less than 1% of all shipping containers coming into this country. What if one held a nuke? You lack of imagination is reminiscent of the pre-9/11 thinking that lead to the deaths of 3,000 Americans. Fly planes into a tall building? Now why would anyone want to do that? That is paranoid thinking. Distinguish between paranoid thinking and knowing your enemy. All I can say is I'm glad you aren't in charge of Homeland Security or the CIA. You'd be having tea parties with the terrorists while we get blown to pieces.
