. Glenn Greenwald points out an exciting new call for war with Iran by former senators Daniel Coats and Chuck Robbin the Washington Post, in particular this section An Islamic Republic of Iran with nuclear weapons capability would be strategically untenable. It would threaten US. national security...While a nuclear attack is the worst-case scenario, Iran would not need to employ a nuclear arsenal to threaten US. interests. Simply obtaining the ability to quickly assemble a nuclear weapon would effectively give Iran a nuclear deterrent...While this seems crazy to the uninitiated, it's long been the view of US foreign policy elites that other countries must not have the power to deter us from attacking them. They must always be vulnerable to being attacked by us. And if they may have the power to deter us from attacking them in the future, that means we must attack them right now. For instance, here's a little-noticed January, 2001 memo by Donald Rumseld: Several of these small enemy nations are intensely hostile to the United States and are arming to deter us from bringing our conventional or nuclear power to bear in a regional crisis. Universally available WMD technologies can be used to create "asymmetric" responses that cannot defeat our forces, but can deny access to critical areas in Europe, the Middle East, and
Asia..."asymmetric" approaches can limit our ability to apply military power. Another example is found in a September, 2002 speech by Philip Zelikow, executive director of the 9/11 Commission and author of the 2002 National Security Strategy, about the threat posed by Iraq. Once again, this threat is not that Iraq will attack us, but that their WMD will make it possible for someone to deter us (and Israel I criticise the Bush administration a little, because the argument that they makeover and over again is that this is about a threat to the United States. Now, if the danger from Iraqis a biological weapon handed to Hamas, then whats the American alternative then Especially if those weapons have developed to the point where they now can deter us from attacking them, because they really can retaliate against us, by then.
