The Coming Nuclear Holocaust(s)

Former Reagan administration official, Wall Street Journal editor and old-school conservative gadfly Paul Craig Roberts says the Bush Administration is laying the groundwork to nuke Iran and North Korea.

The Pentagon document, "Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations," calls for the use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear adversaries in order "to ensure success of US and multinational operations."
