I pity anyone who tries to pretend there is some equivalence between
the
governments of Iran and the United States. If you start really
believe
that, you are so far behind the curve as to make meaningful
discussion

Thats the real politics,the countries without nuclear weapons get
occupied and
colonized,but the ones with nuclear weapons,even if they have only a
couple of
of them,treated with soft gloves.

Right up until they use one.


Which no US president has been foolish enough to test.
The potential for 100,000 dead bodies has a way of making saner minds
prevail, instead of a bunch of lunatic neocons running around seeking
to start WWIII

I think you misunderstand. First it is WW IV and it was started by al-Qaeda.
After several sucker punches and numerous declarations, they were finally
able to communicate that fact. Second I expect before it is over that the US
will suffer more than 100,000 dead. I think when that happens the US will
uncase its sword and God help the world when that happens. You do understand
that the US spent the last 60 years planning the end of the world don't you.

So yes the US would try to avoid a situation where some idiot initiates
nuclear suicide for the planet. The country that uses one on the US goes
extinct.

As far as no POTUS testing it, well I suggest you review the Missiles of
October.
