keep your friends close but your enemies closer

With a nuclear Iran now unveiling an unmanned drone they call the "ambassador of death" I'm really beginning to believe the world will see a nuclear holocaust before I die. I felt this way during the cold war in the 80's, but that subsided after the fall of the Soviet Union... I feel much more pessimistic now than I did then because when it was all said and done, as antagonistic as the Soviets were, they were still rational people who could be reasoned with. And they didn't want to destroy the world any more than we did, but a radical, revolutionary Islamic theocracy is different. President Bush was wrong when he said that poverty and lack of democracy caused a despair deep enough to create suicide bombers. The 9/11 hijackers were all the sons of wealthy Saudis and the London bombers were also financially well off. Islamic people generally will think nothing of using deadly weapons even at the cost of their own lives and that's why conventional wisdom goes out the window with a nuclear Iran.  What is the answer to this? I have no idea. I guess there will be another great war in the not too distant future.

They do not need a drone for the bomb.  In fact, they really have no use for the drone except on their own people.  I am afraid they will use their bombs before others will, but the drone is just a joke.
