Robert Baer and Victor Davis Hanson: A Nuclear Iran - 2/4

Does Iran possess the ability to produce nuclear weapons? Both Bob Baer and Victor Hanson agree that it does. On the questions that flow from this assertion, agreement is more difficult to find. What does Iran hope to accomplish by developing the bomb? Can the United States live with a nuclear Iran? Can Israel? Israeli Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh in an October interview asserted "If no crippling sanctions are in place by Christmas, Israel will strike...if we are left alone, we will act alone."

Does Israel possess the ability to destroy the Iranian nuclear program?

With each month bringing another deception and diversion from Iran, what can the United States do to prevent a conflagration in the Middle East?

A classicist and military historian, Victor Davis Hanson is Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford. He is the author of many books, including A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War. Robert Baer spent twenty years in the Central Intelligence Agency as a field officer covering the Middle East. Mr. Baer is now a journalist and author. His latest book is The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower.

Baer sounds like an idiot when he says Mousavi has blood on his hand...hes from a country that has babies blood on their hands on a weekly basis.

Iran was in support of US & US with UK placed these animal Islamic murderers to steal our wealth & supported them, a war to give Khomeini an army because he was to be assassinated. You did this, you have caused Islam to expand & to be what it is today, you US, UK & Israel are all at fault.

Russia is paying you back for what you did to them in late 70's, Iran was a great Allie to US, you fools listened to UK & accepted a retarded peanut farmer as president that spent 100 million for Khomeini

Ignorant fools or just propagandist trying to create separation in Iran. TO hell with IRI lest start with that & death to Islam & Mullah bastards, the end of these barbarians is near in Iran.

Azeri are Iranian, they are & have always been Iranian & part of Iranian people, name Azeri is new & setup by Russians that separated Iran into pieces with English bastards.

Kurds, Baluch, Afghan, Tajik, Armenia, Georgia & many other nations are all Iranian people & you ignorant fools cannot separate them.

Very insightful interview. I love Bob Baer. I think he is very intelligent. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with Iran attaining nuclear weapons. If Britain, France and Pakistan can have them, everyone can. Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't have?
