So not the case. Iran and North Korea have been pursuing nuclear weapons for 20 years, and there is every indication that they would have done the same thing whatever US foreign policy had been. Check out the latest issue of the Fletcher Forum of World Affairs, http://fletcher.tufts.edu/forum/. There are a couple of good articles in there on Iran and North Korea, both of which more or less argue that both countries must have a nuclear weapon, because that is the only possible way their autocratic rulers can maintain their hold on power.
The author of the article on Iran argued, presciently, that there would be no incentive the Europeans could offer that would be good enough to keep the Iranians from restarting their nuclear program. Surprise, surprise, what did Iran do this week? They spurned the offer of the EU-3 and resumed re-processing work. >Gruss wrote: >So unfortunately, due to poor US foreign policy, Iran and North Korea >hold trump cards and the US can't play. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:168801 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
