Iran Ran Away with the Bomb


(Washington Times) Arnold Beichman - The talks and meetings will go on and on and Iran will go on working on its nuclear arms program until it has the Bomb. There will be no deal with Iran no matter how costly nuclear bomb manufacture might be. Iran earns an estimated $900 million for every $1 per barrel increase in the price of its oil. With oil up in the $50+ per barrel range, Iran is awash in cash and can do what it wants as bomb maker and bomb supplier. Iran is today the dominant land power in the Middle East militarily and economically, and seems unstoppable. It has lots of scientific talent at home and abroad for hire, lots of theological-imperial ambitions, lots of money, lots of eager sellers and money lenders in the EU and in Russia. And that's how wars begin. The writer is a Hoover Institution research fellow.
