that appears to worry the US.
That and the fact that officials in the Iranian government (from the top
down) have repeatedly made public comments that various countries (such
as Israel) should be wiped off the map.

You make that sound like a *bad* thing...

Are you saying that the guaranteed nuclear counter response and
resulting regional death, destruction, and nuclear fallout around the
world are good things?

Iran will recover, but IsReeL will not.

Um... how will Iran recover if there is a nuclear counter strike? They
don't just "repopulate" like a MUD computer game. You are talking
about millions of deaths here.

And that, of course, would be a *good* *thing*

Only if you are a keyboard commando who gets off on the idea of
nuclear holocausts, with zero empathy for anyone who would be caught
in one, or ability to comprehend that the fighting and/or radiation
and killing could spread to the very place you sit right now.
