For the first time in 31 years, it seems that there will soon be direct flights between Egypt and Iran, which may presage a more general rapprochement. “The pronouncement baffled observers” according to the LA Times, but it doesn’t seem all that baffling. If Iran becomes a nuclear power, it will have a much freer hand to push its neighbors around. As it becomes clear that the current US Administration might let that happen, Arab countries that have traditionally allied with Washington against Tehran are beginning to hedge their bets.

I thought the conventional wisdom was that if Iran got a bomb there would be an arms race. That is to say, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt who are Sunni would get bombs.

Has the intelligence community revised or repudiated the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, or is it still the official consensus of all US intelligence agencies that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program?
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.5.10 @ 9:41AM
Iran has made their position perfectly clear.
They plan on killing Israel and placing us under Sharia law.
Any more questions Mr. Lindstrom?
S.L. Toddard| 10.5.10 @ 12:27PM
Yes, actually: Has the intelligence community revised or repudiated the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, or is it still the official consensus of all US intelligence agencies that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program?

Yep, those Iranian Republican Guard are going to do an amphibious landing on the East coast and make us all mooslim. I reckon so.
And Saddam Hussein had WMDs. George W. told us so.

"They plan on killing Israel and placing us under Sharia law."
I would love some of what you're smoking.
