While others - including the well-intentioned - might disagree, the development of an Iranian nuclear deterrent would be a positive rather than a negative development for the region.

Yes, but if it takes ten or more years for Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as it is said that it will, won't it be too late? Presumably, Tel Aviv is in part doing what it is doing _now_ because it didn't want to wait till Tehran achieves the balance of terror that will limit Tel Aviv's unilateral action. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
