#1 The devil is in the details.
Who, exactly, do the Iranians consider members of the 'civilized' world?

I'm betting the greater and lesser satans don't make the cut...

#4 It is not Sarkozy you have to convince, Hassan. It is the Israelis. You know how tetchy they get when people talk about exterminating them.

#5 "Nuclear weapons have no place in Iran's defense doctrine"

That leaves either 'offensive' or 'diplomatic'.

Neither of which is acceptable.

#6 Israel has between 150 and 450 nukes of varying size. Either Iran learns to live in peace with the rest of the world, and allow their nuclear establishments to be thoroughly examined and monitored, or Iran may not wake up one morning becase Israel has used half of those nukes on it. Iran is taking a HUGE gamble that the US can restrain Israel. We didn't do so well when they attacked Iraq. I doubt we will in any future encounter, either.

#7 The threat of NORTH KOREA's nucprogs is. beside agz SOKOR + JAPAN, etc, is any potential for sale or transfer to Islmiast Govts = Groups.

RUSSO-GEORGIAN CONFLICT > gener announced to the US-World that A WAR FOR CONTROL OF EURASIA-ASIA HAS DE FACTO BEGUN. "SAVING THE JIHAD" > NOT JUST FOR NUKES BUT ALSO FOR CONTROL AND TRANSFER OF PAN-MIL ECON TECHNOLOGIES, EDUCATION, ETC. POST-MODERN PROFICIENCIES TO LESSOR ENTITIES.
