Should Trump negotiate a nuke deal with Iran or bomb it?
President Donald Trump has a decision to make: Should he negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran or subject Iran to 'bombing the likes of which they've never seen'? The answer is: It depends on the nuclear deal. Trump says he will accept nothing less than 'total dismantlement' of Iran's nuclear program. He's right to take that stand. So, what does 'total dismantlement' look like? Fortunately, we have an example. In 2003, Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi invited outside officials to come in and dismantle his nuclear, chemical weapons and ballistic missile programs. U.S. military aircraft later landed in Libya, and the Libyan nuclear program — including its uranium hexafluoride, centrifuges and designs to build bombs — was crated up and loaded onto the planes, which were flown to a secure storage facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Libya's enriched uranium was also removed, its chemical munitions destroyed and its ballistic missiles dismantled.
