Remember Reagan? The LGM-118A?
"5. Israel had it coming. They deserved it!" A giant leap, my friend. Makes no sense.
Now, in recent history Ronald Reagan named the LGM-118A the "Peacekeeper". The theory was that it would deter enemies of the US from launching an attack.
And how is that different from Iran's having nukes? After all, America has invaded two countries bordering Iran. And is raising all manner of hell inside the country.
What if Iran had invaded Canada and Mexico? And was funding all manner of mischief in the US? Would the US want nukes?
By the way, we dispelled the notion that Iran is run by madmen. That is nothing but neocon propaganda. There is much, much more information regarding that obtainable on a simple search.
It's simple.
