Why do you think that? I’m inclined to believe justa simply because she’s spent a significant amount of time there.

I didn’t read her post as saying that Iranians didn’t want nuclear weapons, though I guess the whole retaliatory strike thingy could be seen as that argument.

I think the Iranians want nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons act as a deterrent to being invaded. Iran was attacked by Iraq in a very, very bloody war, and I don’t think they’ve forgotten.

The nuclear genie is out of the bottle. I don’t think there’s any nation in any sort of contentious position that doesn’t want nuclear weapons.
