Calibrating the Centrifuge
[Ha'aretz] Zvi Bar'el - Iran has already achieved its goal. It wields deterrence because it has the technology and potential to manufacture nuclear weapons and everyone believes it will indeed produce them. Iran also has one more "advantage": a president who looks like a poet and sounds like a lunatic, whose words swell like a radioactive cloud. His threatening rhetoric even makes one forget that he is not the one responsible for the nuclear development. Rather, it was his predecessors, Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mohammed Khatami, presidents who were considered moderate in the West.
