Oh, they're trying of course. So far Russia is only giving out the slightly older short range stuff though

I don't know about the nobody daring thing. Faced with a very real prospect of getting nuked and the nearly certain prospect of being attacked directly or indirectly conventionally/via terrorists by a country with a nuclear deterrent I think Israel may be willing to go to extreme measures and lose quite a number of weapons or aircraft to take that reactor down.

Also, tactically, the reactor has a real problem. It is located right on the coast of the persian gulf. Meaning it could be hit with almost no warning.

Of course their centerfuges are in a much more defensible location.


At any rate it's obvious why Iran would want a nuclear weapon. That's part of why nobody believes they don't want one.

Now, I don't think it was a good idea to let N Korea get nuclear weapons either.

But Iran would be notably worse as Korea doesn't really have an agenda besides wanting to get handouts from it's neighbors. Annoying, but I don't see them using a nuke. Nor do I see them attempting to wage a land war all of a sudden.

Iran however is a different case. They've proven willing to support their own terrorist elements in the region, and have expressed the desire to wipe Israel off the map. Even if they aren't launching nukes there will be more conventional warfare if we allow Iran to get nuclear weapons.

Honestly, do you believe differently Amused?
