It has long been rumored that the Soviets deployed 100+ "suitcase nukes" close to American long distance telephone switching stations to disrupt command and control before a large scale attack. Who knows what happened to these devices?
"This warning, along with an announcement that Iran would join the world's nuclear club within a month, raised the pitch of Iranian anti-US rhetoric to a new high Tuesday, April 13, as 47 world leaders gathered in Washington for President Barack Obama's Nuclear Security Summit. The statement published by Kayhan said: "If the US strikes Iran with nuclear weapons, there are elements which will respond with nuclear blasts in the centers of America's main cities." For the first time, debkafile's military sources report, Tehran indicated the possibility of passing nuclear devices to terrorists capable of striking inside the United States."

Not to mention how getting ourselves wrapped up in another murderous
quagmire of dubious legality and seriously iffy provenance will further
any worthy cause at home.

I have no idea what the right way to deal with Iran is, I have no idea what they’re up to, but there is something very odd about the American mainstream press treats the whole issue: the U.S. engineered an overthrow of a legitimately elected Iranian government ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh - this stuff is mainstream history, not conspiracy stuff), the U.S. has hundreds of thousands of troops on either side of Iran, and during the Iran-Iraq war in the 80’s the U.S. happily sold weapons to both sides. So we might imagine that the Iranians might like to have nuclear weapons.
You’d think that all this stuff would at least get mentioned in the newspapers, no? Nope…..
