Most of what’s published on this blog is just my opinion, often based on little more than other blogs I read and the MSM. And, although I uphold the idea of contrariness for its own sake, most of what’s here is not greatly beyond the mainstream. Arguing for why Iran should get nuclear weapons and would get them inevitably was, in late January when I posted about it, contrary to all the received opinion I was seeing. The article linked below is by someone with some genuine expertise in the Middle East. It is nice to see that I am not the only person who thinks that, however undesirable it might be for Iran to have nuclear weapons, the sky will not fall.
