And how do you deal with the aftermath?
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.
Eminently true... but this is also true about every nation on earth. I don't know that Iran is especially "off the reservation" in this regard, but I'm no Iran expert.
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.
Let's be clear: I don't want to trust John McCain or Barry Obama with "the worst weapon known to man..." be that nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. That's not really the question, though. The question is what you do about it.
In other words, do you think the nuclear non-proliferation treaty should be stood on its head?
The NPT does not mention bombing. Again, what do you want to do about it? South Africa was persuaded to terminate their nuclear weapons program. North Korea may or may not be. Israel probably never will. Iran, India, Pakistan... who should get the air strikes?
The question, now as ever, is what we want to do about it.
