Iran getting nuclear weapons would be the best thing for stability in the Middle East since the Neanderthals left for Europe.

The United States has been waging a low-key undeclared war on Iran for a long time. Killing scientists and the unmanned overflights are acts of war.

That European anti-missile system is only to prevent an Iranian counterstrike after the US and Israel attack Iran. In order to get UN approval, or regional approval, for a first strike there has to be some assurance the Iranians can't get them back. Hence, the system.

The continuing occupation of Afghanistan as well as the bases in the Iraqi desert are there to support an invasion of Iran. I believe there are plans for war just waiting for a Republican in the White House. We'll be able to tell when we get reports similar to unplugging incubators.

All at once the Republicans will become concerned again with women's rights, freedom throughout the area, democracy, regime change. Who can argue with any of those? The drums aren't beating loudly enough so far.

The deal-breaker will be if Iran has a credible nuclear device or dirty bombs. We'll all be safer if they do.
