Publisher's Synopsis
The mysterious nuclear weapons program of the Islamic Republic of Iran hasperplexed the entire world. While the United States is one of the countries most ardently againstthe program, U.S. politicians have remained virtually silent-without instituting any compelling orconstructive diplomatic efforts. Diplomatic idleness towards Iran and overzealous actions in Iraqgive Iran freedom and time to complete its nuclear ambitions, thus becoming the second nucleararmed country in the Middle East after Israel.
