Nuclear tightrope in Iran

Deeply flawed commentary. If "everyone" is concerned about Iran's nuclear program, why have more than 100 copuntries voiced support for it? Those countries include Iraq and Turkey. The "new" facility near Qom is nowhere near operational. Why get so lathered? Writer claims a US or Israeli attack on Iran would "stir up" the Middle East. In fact, it would create a war far larger than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Writer predicts a potential "surge" in state-supported terrorism, in event of attack on Iran. This is code for Iranian support for Hamas and Hezbollah - - neither of whcih is an enemy of the US. Writer fails to mention Russia will be supplying the nuclear fuel for the initial plant at Bushehr. Also fails to mention Bush administration foolishly failed to support Russian effort to keep control of all nuclear fuels used in Iranian power plants.

This isd an anti-Iran propaganda piece, and very deeply flawed.
