Ya credible deterrent. I love the one liner bash America posts they give me the warm feeling in my stomach. Oh wait that is vomit. When will you simple minded fools see this is not just one country but a a world wide machine set up to keep us all in line. But by all means point your finger at the villain of the day. Who knows maybe Germany will get the top spot again or maybe Russia.

Do you have a source for this? Which countries fear this, because it is an irrational fear based on ignorance of physics, among other things. There is NO infrastructure in Iran for building nuclear weapons. Even if they did have such an infrastructure, it would take them a decade to make enough plutonium for a bomb.
