Iran nuclear game too close for comfort
TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- U.S. special forces dart through Iran's underground nuclear facilities, gunning down any hapless Iranians standing between them and centrifuges that must be blown to bits.

Much to Tehran's relief, this crack team exists only in a new U.S. computer game. But even these animated saboteurs are too close for comfort, downloadable into Iranian living rooms at the click of a mouse.

"Americans have a deep craving for an attack against Iran, but they are going to have to settle for this make-believe assault," wrote the Kayhan daily, whose editor is appointed directly by Iran's Supreme Leader.

The United States consistently declines to rule out a military strike against Iran, but has said such an option is "not on the agenda".

2. That is, if you ignore Israel.

If they don't use the rules with uniformity, then everything they do is basically meaningless.
