Juna Cole Speculates About Iran and Nuclear Weapons
Juan Cole at Informed Comment said in a May 7, 2005 post that: It seems pretty obvious that Iran will get the nuclear bomb and there is not much anyone can do about it. I'm not saying it is a good thing. I'm just saying that I can't imagine what would stop it.One thing that might have stopped it was direct military action. But not all sorts of military action would likely be effective. A US or Israeli air strike on the centrifuges thought to be at Natanz is unlikely to be decisive. Centrifuges don't have to be kept all in the same place, and if Iran has 200 of them, they have almost certainly been spread around so that they could not be taken out with a single strike.
I'm still trying to understand why it is acceptable for Christian nations and a Jewish nation to have nuclear weapons but not Muslim nations, Africans or Asians. Here's more of Mr. Cole's commentary.
