#2 Walz needs to take his medicine - he's losing it. A Middle East with nuclear weapons = Next world war. Since when has any major weapon system ever been held back ... over the long term? Whatever weapons exist - are always used . The words "nuclear deterrence" can never exist in the Middle East. It's a dangerous fallacy to think that because deterrence existed for a brief time between the USA and the former Soviet Union ... that therefore the concept can be applied elsewhere.

#3 Nothing less than astounding how liberals can twist their "no nukes!" policy to "theocratic fascist state should have nukes" as long as it is to the detriment of America.
