Containment Cost

Oh Snap! Read it!

"The unstated (and probably unrealized) assumption underlying the contain-Iran argument is that, once Tehran is nuclear, America will have to get tougher.

"But how likely is that? If we won’t confront Iran over the killing of American soldiers now, why would our national spine get any stiffer in the face of a threat of nuclear retaliation?

"If we won’t do anything to stop Iran from getting the bomb, why should anyone believe that we will suddenly grow bolder once Iran actually has the bomb?

Iran is currently surrounded by 200,000+ fully equipped, trained, seasoned and motivated U.S. military personnel and air forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Not to mention the completely unopposed U.S. Navy off their only coast, stealth bombers in Sierra Leon, B-52's in South Dakota, the ENTIRE Israeli military, oh, and that little ICBM arsenal in the US, and Israel.

What me worry?
