After some of the comments recently by Iran's president, I worry about just how fanatical this regime is. Obviously we can't afford another war right now, hence the punt to the international organizations. <BR/><BR/>On a related note, there is an interesting article in the Atlantic (Jan 2006) about how US nuclear hegemony is making our closest rivals (China, Russia) quite nervous. Our capabilities are now so far superior that these countries would not even stand a chance in a nuclear war scenario. Whether intentional or not, we may be creating divisions in international politics in which China, Russia, and others are forced to take policies in opposition to the US.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297538001736068125noreply@blogger.com
