Ok, so according to retired General John Abizaid, the United States can "live with" a nuclear Iran. Ok General, let me ask you this: What happens when the other Middle Eastern countries want nukes because Iran has them? Sooner or later you're going to have to deal with a country that is unstable and is armed with the worlds most powerful weapon.
What then? Do you want your fellow Americans and their children to live in fear that one day a whacked out cleric decides that the Washington DC must go and he has enough influence to actually make it happen?
Even General Abizaid thinks the same thing:
"Clearly the development of a bomb in Iranian hands will cause other nations in the region to move in a like direction, and in a very unstable region like that, that is not good news," Abizaid said.
So if you agree with me General, then why make such bold and reckless statement like that?
The difference between China, Russia and Iran is that the former two didn't have religious nutjobs who talked of Armageddon.
And I don't know about you, but I don't want to wake up one morning seeing Washington DC decimated and Iran as a parking lot full of radioactive glass. I'd prefer that we move through diplomatic channels first, but if Russia and China continue to think of their economic needs first instead of the growing nuclear threat, then we need to nip this in the butt before it becomes a much more significant problem.
