nuke me, Jane

Should Iran betray any pending nuclear deal - and I certainly believe they will - I believe they've acted all along as if convinced Obama lacked the will to stop them and therefore is quite happy to embrace an illusion - but I'll indulge the optimists and say should Iran betray any pending nuclear deal after Rice has now again promised Israel that they will never let the Persians nuke up, I wonder if Dear Leader has realized or admitted to himself that that will mean a world where only one of two things will remain true when it comes to these weapons: one, anyone who wants them can get them; and two, the only reliable way to stop that would be through the use of force by America. Ahh, for those heady days of leading from behind - for a president who wholly embraced the utterly delusional intellectual conceit of the 'zero option' when it came to nukes, that he may be responsible for a policy that makes obvious just how delusional that conceit was and moves the world in a diametrically opposite direction from coveted zeroness, well... actually, kinda seems fitting, no?
