While Iranians were being slaughtered in the streets, officials from the British Foreign Office were celebrating with regime leaders the anniversary of Khomeini’s revolution
For decades, the so-called “Western experts” had warned us that it was too risky to attack Tehran, that the Iranians had too many missiles, that their armed forces were too large, that their leadership was too cunning, that it was inevitable that Iran would build the atomic bomb and that there was nothing we could do except sign useless treaties that were not worth the paper they were written on.
Jacques Chirac theorized that the Iranian atomic bomb would not be “very dangerous.”
In an essay that caused a sensation, “Why Iran Should Get the Bomb,” published by Foreign Affairs, the famous political scientist Kenneth Waltz theorized that an Iranian bomb would be a “source of stability.”
