Not looking promising. I suspect with the situation in Iran we're heading toward midnight.

hard to imagine iran being more of a threat than kruschev in 61.........iran will probably not be able to maintain....it's already apparent that while the mullahs want to rule an islamist theocracy,the people are sick of it and want more freedom

Are you kidding? With all the BS going on in Iran they'd be well advised to pull that clock off the wall and put it in a bunker.

There ain't no friggan way Israel is going to tolerate Iran with a nuke.

I don't know about that, but I can say without reservation that it qualifies as "the hand that threatens doom".
