Building on the great successes of their Iraq campaign, the Americans are now considering the next illegal war of aggression, against Iran.
This time they discuss using nuclear weapons, as Seymour M. Hersh documents in an article in the New Yorker.
Update: British foreign minister Straw calls the idea of a nuclear strike against Iran "completely nuts", which seems about the appropriate reaction. He doesn't show much enthusiasm for more illegal wars of aggression in the region either, saying that Britain would not launch a preemptive strike, and that there is no justification for it.
