I know the “liberal” instinct is that Iran isn’t a serious problem and discussion of international current events is seen as fear mongering. But liberals should be more open about Iran discussions instead of reflexively opposing whatever they see as a wingnut topic. The regime in Iran executes homosexuals, rape victims, atheists and web designers. They are a threat to the region and their own people. Once they get nukes they become untouchable. A north Korea without nukes would have collapsed long ago. Obama and the Israelis are going to have to make a decision fairly soon about if they’re going to let Iran get the bomb or take military action. I don’t know what he’s going to decide but it’s not a wingnut issue. If there’s a chance to delay the program for a few years to allow time for the mullahs to lose power it might be worth it. Once they get the bomb they are going to be around for a very long time and they aren’t very nice people. Even worse than Republicans in my humble opinion.
