yeah .. esp the US should fear a nuclear armed Iran .. ROTFL.
aren't you rather short sighted? with what arguments are you storing tons
of bio- chemical- and nuclear weapons and start fingerpointing? esp. as you
started to have a pre-emptive strike as a defense written down in your
strategic papers [1]? there is no guarantee for the future that there won't
be a person in the white house pushing the red button.

so there is no need for futher expensive warcraft like the Raptor. the
money would be better spent at NASA, airsafety, schooling or whatever.
esp. as other countries like Iran are fare away from having that arsenal
that you already have _today_.
