Joshua Muravchik. “Opposing View: Iranian Bomb ‘Intolerable'”. USA Today. November 20, 2007 – “The dangers an Iranian bomb would present are intolerable. Iran is the pre-eminent sponsor of terrorism. Iranian weapons are responsible for a large share of U.S. casualties in Iraq. Our forces in Afghanistan have intercepted Iranian arms shipments to the Taliban. Argentina has indicted Iranian officials for blowing up a Buenos Aires Jewish center. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said Tehran was behind Hamas’ armed takeover of Gaza. Iran provides haven to fugitive leaders of al-Qaeda. The list goes on. […] A nuclear attack by terrorists would be almost impossible to deter. Against whom would we threaten retaliation?”
