many articles by intelligent scholars favor the fact that Iran already has between 10-12 bombs. Simple reasons about Iran:
- rich country used its wealth to recruit poor nuclear scientists from former falling USSR.
- rich country bought nuclear techno from the black market after the fall of USSR.
- muslim country that got nuke techno plans and parts from Pakistan.
- smart people who do, than talk after not like stupid Sadam.
why the war is no good on Iran:
1- small artiliary nuke delivered if ,not already been, to hizbollah who than will fire it on Israeli dimona reactor leaving the world with no palestine, no israel and may may be no lebanon and parts of egypt.
2- one Shihab 3 -rr 3000 km- fired from syria or lebanon by Iranian agents my make it difficult to breath in Europe.
3- The rest will probably fall in the arab petro dolar states making the world economy go to the emergency room and the freezing west use wood to heat.
4- maybe next or before or during this, the west will wipe Iran out of the map using their air nuke strikes.
So who wins..! who is still interested in debating a strike or Iran or N.Korea or the like! this is not an intelligent speak. It askes stupid questions that require stupid answers. Let us talk dialogue, cultural influence, money and trade. The era of the cowboy mentality is gone. The world leaders (all world leaders) should not play with fire (nuke strike language), because the fire burns who plays with it before burning the others.
