Everyone already understands that they want nukes so they can destroy Israel without fear of retaliation by the US. Glad to see you've finally abandoned the fiction that they just want nuclear energy for electricity.

:confused: So you think that if Iran had nukes and destroyed Israel (using nukes?), the US wouldn't retaliate??!!

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.

Don't forget about the French surrendering to Germany in WWII as well.

Everybody lies. For instance, Bush lied on the reasons why they attacked Iraq, while everybody knew it was for oil.

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.

Israel has over 200 nukes - What should they need the US to protect them?

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?

You know that; we know that; even Israel knows that. Now why don't you convince Ahmadinejad?

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.

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.
