Dr. Pipes,
It entirely depends upon the then situation. America has never enjoyed a status of a trustworthy friend among friends & foes equally. Here the question is not of trustworthiness of USA but of Iranian regime.
If we take Bombay attack serously, Pakistan got away by saying it is an act of NON STATE ACTORS. My concern would be, what if, Nuke attack is conducted in USA or Europe by a group consisting Islamisits from different countries with the hidden hand of Iran or Pakistan. WHOM you are going to blame and counter attack?
We know hundred of thousands of Islamists brains are working against the civilzed world which doesn't have any "National Religion" to offer to those enemies who may consider joining the forces of Peace & Love. Do you have any thoughts?
