Iran will have the bomb, folks. Get ready for a much, much uglier and more dangerous world.

Mutually assured destruction seems to have reduced the number of people killed in wars. Conservatives usually believe that it's a dangerous thing for only the police to have guns, so wouldn't it also be dangerous if only the big police governments and their socialist friends had nukes? It probably wouldn't pass legal muster these days to use nukes against an enemy that didn't also have nukes, so Iran is qualifying themselves to become a green sheet of glass if they don't grow up real fast. Like guns, more than 99% of the security value of nukes is their possession rather than their use.

That's a "Green Job" many FReepers would like to get.
