All the reasons for invading Iraq apply doubly to Iran, and with far greater
urgency. Iran right now poses the imminent threat to America which Iraq did
not in 2003. Iran may already have some nuclear weapons, purchased from
North Korea or made with materials acquired from North Korea, which would
increase its threat to us from imminent to direct and immediate.
I admit that the idea Iran may already have nuclear weaponry has been a blind spot for me. Maybe that explains why Ahmadinejad has been talking so much smack lately. Maybe Bin Laden's latest announcement that new attacks were being prepared for America is connected. "The operations are under preparation and you will see them in your houses as soon as they are complete, God willing." Reuters carried that quote and I can't say that it made me feel any better.
