The Issue: How the United States should respond to Iran’s development of a nuclear-weapons capability.
***
By all means, let’s build up the confidence of a country determined to destroy the world (“Iran’s Nuke Victory,” Amir Taheri, PostOpinion, April 17).
Americans should be very wary of any last- minute agreements between President Obama and Iran before the presidential election — especially one that has Iran agreeing to discontinue its quest for a nuclear bomb.
I can imagine Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton waving a piece of paper in the air, a la Neville Chamberlain. We all know how that turned out.

Iran hasn’t invaded another country in over 200 years. So why change?
Iran isn’t a threat to us, and neither was Iraq. Yet how many American kids died or got maimed in that war?
The people who lead us into these unnecessary wars are not the ones on the firing line.
We made Israel a nation in 1948. How many friends has it made since then? And how many enemies?
Who coined the phrase “preemptive strike”?
When people call Israel our staunchest ally in the Middle East, they defile the graves of the US seamen who died on USS Liberty.
As a veteran, I get sick when their deaths have no meaning.
Ron Paul is the only honest man telling the truth about the Middle East, yet our media ignore him.
Iran knows that any country that has the bomb will not be obliterated.
Meanwhile, Israel is blowing smoke, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants our kids to die for his country.
