on that question.

Speaking of 'sanctimonious,' though, our never-ending pout about Iran's nuclear program gets a bit tiresomely obnoxious when seen in the context of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the obligations it imposes on extant nuclear powers to disarm. Iran learned from watching Iraq and North Korea that the only way to deter a U.S. attack is to have nuclear weapons. If I, a well-educated but amateur American, know the neo-cons have Iran in their gunsights, then surely the Iranian intelligence apparatus knows it as well. Can't say I would blame the Iranians one iota if they were pursuing a nuclear device!
