no one really knows “how close” India and Pakistan came to nuclear confrontation. My point is that while conservatives seem to think the Iranian mullahs are suicidally insane, I'm not convinced. They do know they would not survive if they attack Israel, and I would feel quite safe in making the bet. These mullahs may pay lip service to supporting suicide bombers, for instance, but none of them has strapped on the bombs personally. Attacking Israel is the same thing. They know they would die and put an end to their country. Not gonna happen.

GD…as close as Pakistan and India were to nuking each other into oblivion during the Clinton years, I suggest you not make that bet. Also, Israel isn't Iran's only enemy in the region.

JD, I'd bet you your lifetime salary that Iran never pre-emptively detonates a nuclear device over Tel-Aviv. Their entire country would have 12 minutes to live.

I anyone (other than liberals) actually surprised by this news?

Acquiring weaponized nukes? No surprise.
A secret nuclear facility? No surprise.
Testing missles? No surprise.

Detonates a nuclear weapon over Tel-Aviv? Stand by.

Which brings up the point that unilateral nuclear disarmament and negotiations with no real threat of reprisals (and no, unenforced U.N sanctions and 'you were a very naughty boy again' resolutions do not count) will not bring us (by us I mean the US in particular and the free world in general) the security we need against those with very different agendas.

They are not, as we popularly like to call them, madmen, but rather politicians and leaders that have long-term goals that are in direct opposition to our values.

Unfortunately, we currently have as a leader a man who seems intent on capitulating on just about every point to our enemies in the foreign policy and national defense arenas.

BTW - 10 days of vacation was great for us all, especially my daughter. Good to be back home, though.
