[quote]4. It is the last moment for the US to avert the Middle East's plunge into a nuclear race.
Dec. 5, the former Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Turki al-Faisal said that after failing to persuade Israel and Iran to give up their nuclear weapons, Riyadh had no option but to develop its own; and Turkish leader have been saying to the Obama administration that if Iran has a nuclear weapon, so too will Turkey.
The administration is now facing the bleak realization that a disastrous nuclear race in this volatile region can be deflected only by military action to cut down and destroy Iran's nuclear weapons program.[/quote]

Iran and Israel having nukes isn't so bad. Other countries getting nukes is worse.
Is it worth wrecking the world economy to stop a ME nuke fight that would also wreck the world economy? I hope 2012 gives people time to think about this and cool down a bit.

We don't need another war in the ME and we certainly don't want a massive refugee crisis.
