I was directed to Jules Crittenden via Instapundit. Jules references MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction):

"It's a policy I call Assured Destruction, because unlike the Cold War, there doesn't have to be anything mutual about it. "

When I read this, I though, "He's probably right. Iran will nuke Israel, and we won't have the stone to "destroy" back. We'll fight our PC war in retaliation for the annihilation of a people."

But, as they say, "read the whole thing". Jules's policy is in the preceding paragraph:

"If in fact we find an actual nuclear weapon, or one explodes anywhere in the world, the Iranians -- and the North Koreans as well -- need to know that we will assume it was theirs, and act accordingly."

Funny (or sad) how the mind works....
