Why would Iran want to justify its own invasion?<br><br>The ideal is to stay on the brink—capable to enrich the uranium properly and build a delivery mechanism (and thereby dangerous), but not actually in possession of either (and thereby safe[er] from intervention).M.

But, the closer they come to building one, the more support the West will be able to build for an attack. So, it's a vicious cycle, and I don't see it ending well unless people in the West take a more critical view of the whole thing. You don't need to be a pacifist or believe that the US is evil to realize that war with Iran makes no strategic sense except from the perspective that oil is our most important national security priority.alephnaughtyhttp://defeasiblereasoning.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
