I don't see Iran as a threat. I think we should open up a dialog with them after 28 years of shunning and sneaky attempts to destabilize them, and attempt to talk to them. I don't think we need to be defending Israel, or taking Israel's side against Iran. Israel can defend itself. There is a basic unfairness that anyone can see in telling Iran they are not allowed nukes when we have done, and continue to do, NOTHING about Israel's nuclear arsenal, other than PRETENDING it's not there. Iran is a signatory of the NPT, and as such has a right to develop a nuclear industry of it's own. Israel is NOT a signatory of the NPT. India, who Bush recently approached with offers of nuclear technology, ALSO is not a signatory of the NPT. Our postion RE Iran is hypocritical and deeply flawed. We need to correct it, but there won't be any constructive foreign policy coming from THIS administration.
