ashtar jan,
If only one nukular (nuclear in Bush's language) bomb falls into Tel Aviv then there will be no more reason for West (Jewish lobby) to continue a war against Iran becasue there would be no Israel left. This means that all the policies and plans they had followed would have fallen down. Hence, I agree with what Ken is saying. If Iran had nukes then no Western politician would have the guts to talk about direct military intervention. No one would ever imagine of asking the people to vote for a military intervention.
The reason they invaded Iraq was because they were 100% sure Iraq did not have any chemicals or nukes. They researched it well before going there. But this is not true about Iran. They are not at all sure what Iran has and has not, so this requires the long-term policy they have followed which is putting economic "sanctions" on Iran.
Now, I believe that, they are becoming more and more certain that Iran has more than it is claiming. Iran's program, no matter what El-Baradei says, may be far more advanced than what we know. This requires continuing the older policy of sanctions and no more war talks.
