and if, in the process, we obliterate all evidence that there ever was a suitcase bomber heading for Israel so much the better.

You and I both know that it doesn't make any sense to nuke Iran AFTER the bomb goes off so we use preemption and nuke them first.

So what if it turns out that we were just as wrong about Iran's nuclear program as we were about Iraqs WMDs. The only consequence is 71 million dead Iranians. No biggie.

That's where the 1% doctrine will get you every time. You become so afraid of someone attacking you that you don't even realize that you have become the aggresssor.
