for the past few months there has been much discusion about american military attacks against iran; but why? iran's nuclear weapons ambition is the reason given.
i say let iran produce nuclear weapons. the possession of atomic bombs is a tremendous responsibility. they can't be used in a covert manner and even the preparation of their possible use is detectable well in advance and can be deterred. ask the pakistanis about this fact. when china under mao went nuclear in 1964 there was an incredible fear in the world. yet china has been a model citizen internationally since then.
the american president claims to want a change of government in iran. only the iranian people can decide this. when they tired of the shah, they put him out. i believe this experience has convinced them of the absolute seriousness of a violent change of government. and if that wasn't enough they have the examples of their afghan and iraqi neighbors as very stark reminders.
if the u.s. attacks iran then the comfortable material life americans now enjoy will be forever over. please consider this fact as your political leadership inches your country ever closer to the abyss.
