#1 most of the 'India cant because it needs...' claims are bullshit. if India wants to submit pak-land to punishment, it will happen. all that India needs is the will to pull the trigger and the acceptance of the possible shit storm that may follow.

#2 "An easier option is working with Iran. For that to happen, Iran will have to stop short of actually building a nuclear bomb. Much will depend on whether President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is defeated in the November 2009 election and replaced by a moderate."

Actually, Iran made much of their progress towards nuclear weapons under so-called moderates. The more moderate rhetoric shielded them from reaction from the naive West. Ahmadinejad almost does the West a favor by consistently using hyperbole rather than stealth. If Amaddinejad loses, Iran simply regains the advantage of being able to say one thing while doing the opposite.
