Do any of the western nuclear powers have leaders who have the sand to do as the author proposes? Do the leaders of Iran care if they turn their country into a glass desert? I believe the answers are no and yes. Obama has no stones, Gordon won’t act unilaterally, and Sarkozy is the only one I trust to do as he says on this issues. Mr. Tiny(Iranian president)isn’t truly in charge, as we all know, and the guardian council indeed cares about their survival. Does this answer mean we should allow them to get the bomb, because we can contain them with the threat of MAD? Of course not. Some people can be trusted with nukes because they’re intent of having them is not to cause mayhem but to guarantee peace. Iran doesn’t fit this definition.
