i really think the u.s. has a major credibility problem when it proclaims that iran simply cannot have nuclear weapons. that's not to say that i want iran to go nuclear. i don't at all. but don't they realize how ridiculous and paternalistic it looks for a country sitting on the largest nuclear arsenal in the world talks about who is allowed to have nuclear weapons and who isn't?
the argument that iran's nuclear arsenal is unacceptable because it would "spark an arms race in the Middle East" seems a little odd because there already is an arms race in the middle east. the arms race was sparked years ago when israel got the bomb. so why does israel get left alone about its nukes when iran is not? it seems the only reason is that we like israel better.
