I doubt if Mutually Assured Destruction would stop Iran from using nukes or any other weapons. Mutually assured destruction is the aim of suicide bombers, and I get the idea the same mentality pervades some middle eastern cultures/goverments/nations. In particular president Ahmadinejad, who (some fear) sees international turmoil as heralding the return of the twelfth imam, which he believes would bring about peace and justice by establishing islam throughout the world. The greater the turmoil or more destructive the war, the more likely is the return of the imam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_imam#Reappearance http://www.newstatesman.com/200512050014 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/15/AR2005121501428.html > not a great way to live but seeing as Israel has such > obvious expansionist ambitions it's either that or another US invasion.
