Three strikes and you're out. Obama has blown two so far, and he's got one chance left when it comes to national security. What will happen if in the next twelve months or so the suicide-preaching fanatics of Tehran explode a nuclear bomb, as they obviously are dead-set on doing? What will happen if Israel tries a preemptive strike? What if the Saudis, Egyptians, and Gulf States then imported a Sunni bomb from Pakistan?
All those countries are unstable and have sizable radical martyrdom groups trying to overthrow their regimes. If a nuclear Iran led a Shiite Axis with Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, and Hezbollah, a tectonic shift would bring radicals to power from Tehran to Lebanon, the worst alignment of America's enemies since Stalin. That is a colossal challenge even to the most competent U.S. foreign policy team. Obama has shown no capacity to deal with national security crises so far. This may therefore be the most dangerous moment since Kennedy's Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. If this White House can't handle huge instability at the wellspring of the world's oil supplies, then every other great power will try to muscle in, including Russia and China. That will be Strike Three.

If Iran did this, what would the backlash be against Muslims and what side would Obama be on?
Very alarming, but I fear you are correct.
God help us.
He’s obviously not getting his message across.
Perhaps he should talk to them more, try to get them to understand.
The threat of Iran is small when compared to our problems. Nothing will destroy or hurt America except America.
So we should just accept a nuclear Iran as just a cost of doing business?
We accept a Nuclear communist country of China, that has killed or helped to kill more Americans post WWII than any other country.
Iran should be able to do whatever it wants. If it presents a problem to any country then that country should attack them.
but..but...but... iamanutjob promised their nuclear stuff was for peaceful purposes. they wouldn’t really build a bomb or anything right? /sarc
Well, obama is pursuing your policy. We shall see where that leads us. By the way, it’s way late to deal with a nuclear China so that analogy is flawed.

“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans … have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

I’ve already prepared my “Eff You” speech to be delivered from behind one of my guns.
Cheney should slap Barry out onto the White house lawn and say, “Stay outside boy, there’s mens work to do in here”!
I wish them well!!
