Opinion pieces on Iran abound...

Heads up, if you're looking for topics for the final paper for this class!  A great topic would be to weigh in on how the US (or any other nation of your choice, or the UN, or the public) should react to Iran given our current knowledge of their potential nuclear weapons ambitions. 

The piece posted earlier on "Nuclear Isreal Revisited" is a strong-worded polemic against Israel and the US, and here's another from Salon arguing that the US shouldn't be too concerned about a nuclear Iran.  The Salon piece takes up the claim that "deterrence" logic doesn't work for Iran, and questions this.  On the other side of the debate, an Australian editorial proclaims a nuclear Iran to be a "grave threat." and some US politicians are calling for pre-emptive strikes on Iran.

Where do you stand?  Want to write a response to one of these?
