What If Bernard Lewis was rIght about nuclear Iran welcoming Apocalypse rather than seeking deterrence?
In that case, he said that “mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the
Cold War, would have no meaning. At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead — hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers. For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint; it is an inducement.” Bernard Lewis – The Wall Street Journal Aug. 8, 2006
Iran’s Mullahs are Twelvers waiting for the end of the world so it’s all the better if they can hasten its arrival.
