Not WW3 ?

New York Times: Interesting article in the NYT on the reaction to the view in the White House that a Nuclear Armed Iran could lead to WW3. The paper of record takes a different view, its shows a picture from a seminal American TV movie, The Day after, done in the mid 80s to show the USA after a War. Ironic it was shown here in the UK on the Sci- Fi Channel. The paper of record sees it as " more like chess " game within the context of the USA and Russian relationship. That's the problem with the New York Times, it sees what it wants to see, this hard ball politics, its a chess game yes but the object of the game is to prevent a nuclear armed Iran. If Diplomacy fails and it will, the games will end and the West will have to hit Iran hard. The winner can only be the West, nothing less would be a victory for Iran, and we are back to the 1930s again, then Israel would have to hit Iran from the Air, and if that happens that could cause havoc in the Middle East. The West, UK, USA and France must act to protect the national security of the West.
