From prunes:
"It's not about "trust", it's about M.A.D."
My comment re. trust was that MAD requires trust. Otherwise it doesn't work. You need to trust your foe to act rationally. Re-read your post, and don't be so quick to call me non-sensical.
Whether or not Iran can be trusted, is, I grant you, a matter of debate. I know of no way to empirically measure their trustworthiness.
If you want to trust Iran with the keys to the worst weapon known to man,...I'd like to hear your candidate say that.
How many other nations should have nukes? All of them? That way everyone is safe because of MAD?
In other words, do you think the nuclear non-proliferation treaty should be stood on its head?
