MAD Mullahs

James Zumwalt ( son of the Vietnam era CNO) says we must stop the Iranian bid for nukes, before its too late:

During the Cold War, to deter nuclear conflict, the U.S. and the Soviet Union adopted the policy of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) -- the effectiveness of which turned on the logic that if each side possesses enough weapons to destroy the other following one side's first strike, neither will initiate such an exchange. It also recognized that while millions would be killed outright in a nuclear exchange, millions more would succumb later to radiation exposure.

This logic seems to be totally lost on the Iranian leadership. The Israelis already are developing a submarine fleet armed with nuclear missiles so any first strike by Iran against Israeli land targets will still leave Israel able to retaliate from the sea. Radiation generated in an Iranian first strike would be spread by prevailing westerly winds back across Middle East states with major Muslim/Arab populations -- including Iran.

What should we expect. If they will die by suicide bomb for their corrupt idealogy, what will they do when they have nukes? I shudder to think. We can't co-exist with or "contain" Radical Islam.
