Nukes Or No Nukes?

For longer than I care to remember, Geo. Bush has been telling us that Iran is about to blow us off the map with nuclear weapons. Only six weeks ago, he suggested that we have to stop Iran before it starts World War III.

But now our own National Intelligence Estimate, which states the latest info from 16 spy outfits, says that Iran stopped its bomb program in 2003 and shows no interest in restarting it.

All this raises questions about whether Iran ever had any real interest in nuclear WMDs. Was Iran merely bluffing in order to get something from the U.S.? That's what North Korea did. Who's next?

And will Bush continue to prepare us for war with Iran? Who knows?
