Listen to yourself, and the points at which I agree and disagree with you.
Agreed:
There are a ton of bad consequences to Iran using a nuke, and one would think that those consequences would weigh heavily in the decisions Iran makes.
Disagreed:
I don't trust the current leadership of Iran, and I don't trust their hold on power. Look at Pakistan, they have nukes, do you trust Musharraf to keep them secure?...do you think there's much chance of a coup there?...then what? It's not as simple as "Iran won't launch because it would kill them."
Listen to yourself: "soooooo frightening that those cave-dwelling Arabs will clamor for their leaders to seek mercy from the omnipotent American demigods" Your sarcastic comment sounds like an argument against your reliance on MAD.
Your candidate: I shouldn't presume who that is. I hope it's Nader. In any case, it is not George Bush (as you suggest), but Hillary Clinton who has spoken about obliterating Iran.
