Quote by: Tim  One of the things I find startling is the extent to which people consider Iran a threat. It really isn't. As you say, the idea of a nuclear strike from Iran is definitely crazy. I read an interesting paper from the National Defense University which argued that a nuclear-armed Iran would actually increase stability in the Middle East. I can't remember all of the reasoning but there were a few points that stuck with me. In particular, the authors of the paper ruled out any possibility of Iran attacking Israel or furnishing a terrorist group with nuclear weapons because that would almost certainly result in Iran's destruction. I'll try to find the paper if I can. |
Well, I'll say this about that, and that is the fact that a nuclear India has done little to stabilize that region, so I think that contention reaching a bit.
