Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Iran?

Bill Keller, New York Times | January 23, 2012

A preemptive strike represents one pole of the debate on Iran, the most abused foreign policy topic this election. ++ Best indicators suggest that Iran's nuclear program is moving fully ahead and could produce a weapon within one year. ++ Obama's policy promises to be tougher than US policy under Bush as he gathers global support for a crippling boycott of Iranian oil. ++ There is a long-term paradox in attacking Iran; any action will unify the Iranian people and encourage the supreme leader to secretly redouble Iran's nuclear pursuits.
