Iran and the Bomb
(New York Times) Editorial - Every new addition to the roster of nuclear weapons states significantly raises the odds that nuclear weapons will be used in war, or will become available to terrorists. Those dangers are especially acute in the case of Iran under its radically belligerent leadership, which has called for the elimination of Israel and maintains close ties with groups that have embraced terrorism. China and Russia should join the U.S., Britain, France, and Germany in putting Iran's behavior before the Security Council and condemning it as a steadily growing threat.
