No one knows for sure what would happen if Iran let loose a nuclear bomb. I sure don't.

It would depend on the where, when, whom, how, and why of it don't you think?

The central thesis of my argument is that the Iranian regime is of a religious fanatical nature that doesn't take "normal" political considerations into account. I hope I am wrong about that. In fact, like Krushchev did--I hope they are just doing a calculated bluff both for internal and external consumption.

Obviously our present policy both toward Iran and all non-nuclear nations is that they should stay that way, but I think because of Iran's statements with regard to the destruction of Israel that has especially gotten the attention of our government.
