Pretty definitive
In a speech the other day Vice President Cheney said, pretty definitively it would seem, “We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.” AP:
“Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions…the regime continues to practice delay and deceit in an obvious effort to buy time…We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon”
The AP story gives the last word to another perspective: “Last month the Senate approved a resolution urging the State Department to label Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., said he feared the measure could be interpreted as authorizing a military strike in Iran, calling it Cheney’s ‘fondest pipe dream’.”

As my dearly remembered father used to tell me when I was about to engage in some dubious activity, “Don’t let fear and common sense get in your way.” Words dripping in sarcasm.
