The road to misery and disaster

Robert Haddick at TCS Daily -- who himself does not even support an airstrike to end the Iranian nuclear program -- offers an arresting assessment of the menace which the prospect of an Iranian bomb poses to the Iranian people and the rest of the Middle East. The idea of Iran and its technological partners becoming the target of a terrorist campaign may sound far-fetched, but becomes less so when one considers the deepening of Sunni-Shiite antagonism (I wouldn't put such tactics past the Israelis either -- their survival is at stake). And his discussion of why an Iranian bomb would make a local nuclear war inevitable even if this is not the regime's intention is all too plausible.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
