I do. I think there's a fundamental link. This is a regime that depends for its survival on fear, creating fear abroad and creating fear at home. The nuclear weapon is the ultimate weapon of fear for creating fear abroad. The vast system of domestic repression that the Iranian regime has set up to abuse its own people is the instrument of fear and torture at home. You join those together and the regime is a formidable and fear-creating government.
I think the lesson is that once a country has a nuclear weapon, the rest of the world is even more reticent about holding that country's feet to the fire on human rights issues.
