When was the last time you saw or read a news item about the Iranian nuclear program? The deadline for a final agreement on negotiations that were supposedly going to end the Iranian drive towards a nuclear bomb came and went. What did we get? A new, extended deadline is the answer.
Right now, all attention is on ISIS and Ukraine and Gaza. In America, "all" attention is really not much attention. An Iranian nuclear weapon, however, dwarfs these other stories. With just a few bombs, Iran could kill millions upon millions in the USA, Europe and Israel. Why are we ignoring this issue? Why has the Obama administration moved from trying to prevent an Iranian nuke to instead managing appearances so that when that Iranian nuke shows up for the first time, Obama can talk about how hard he fought to prevent it? What if the first Iranian test explosion for one of its bombs is in Los Angeles? How will Obama explain that, and who would care?
