is how righties are pissing their pants over a country we have not being able to prove even has a SINGLE nuclear weapon, let alone the multitude that a much larger country like the Soviet Union had (and we survived nearly 50 years with). The people I've been arguing with on Facebook keep pointing out that Iran sponsors terrorism and is somehow "irrational", which supposedly makes them supposedly worse than the Soviet Union (as for rhetoric, I suppose they forgot about Kruschev's infamous "We will bury you" comment). Nobody is arguing that Iran is perfect or that this deal solves all of our issues with them but I don't lose any sleep about Iran having a bomb so much as I do nuclear-armed North Korea and it's pretty clearly insane leadership.
