I never said that it was exactly the same Montana. Look, you have hus over here who seems to think that the iranians should have nukes, or at least that it would be ok if they did, to promote peace.

The fact of the matter is that once iran get nukes, their big competitors the saudis will get them, then the rest of the middle east will want them so that they aren't the last injun without a bow. Letting more nukes in the region will destabilize and inflame the area.

But, yeah, sure, go on and say that its inconsequential.

No, I was arguing with Hus. And I think Hus holds a view which is popular in Europe, which is that Israel is a terrible regime and the rest of the Middle East consists of saints (or something to that effect). As much as people may disagree with how the U.S.S.R. was run, it was very much a stable nation in its prime. Few countries in the Middle East are (Israel is, though).
