    I make a bet, the first nuclear bomb to explode in the US will be from North Korea. I even wonder if the bomb is not already hidden somewhere.

        That's about right. You would prefer the WASPs to throw down their guns and surrender to the tender mercies of the Indians? That only happened with the French settlers.

              No, I don't think the US would hesitate. I do think  Amanediejad and his superiors think (wrongly) that it would give the US pause if Iran had Nukes.

                    More like wishful thinking on their part.

                      Hard to believe. Merely having nukes doesn't translate into being able to deliver them to the US and if Iran were to actually use a nuke on Israel, then the US would feel compelled to attack Iran lest it use them on someone else in the region. For that matter, Britain or France (who are more readily in range) might feel compelled to attack Iran.

                        The French government didn't surrender (though the armies did) - that's the fiction of "occupied France." The fact is that they became co-belligerents.

                            That's right. Iran needs someone to protect them from Israel and the US is around to protect Israel from Iran's protector. Do you understand how it works, now?

                                      The French government didn't surrender (though the armies did) - that's the fiction of "occupied France." The fact is that they became co-belligerents.

                                      I confirm, you know shit in History - The french generals refused the 'on-field capitulation' that could have freed the goverment in its choices - That's why the governement had to ask for an armistice (June, 17 1940). For the co-belligerance, there was none, Vichy regime did not declare war to UK, despite Mers el Kebir or Dakar.

                                        That's right. Iran needs someone to protect them from Israel and the US is around to protect Israel from Iran's protector. Do you understand how it works, now?

                                        Iran won't need protectors - nobody would want to protect them. They will have the bomb, one way or another. And once they will have some, this will be MAD again.

                                          Maybe. I didn't bother reading the rest of the thread.
