Wish I'd said that.

Minor correction -- these things combine multiplicatively,
not additively. So the existence of four Iranian nukes would
only discourage about 68% of the Israeli population
(0.75 ^ 4 is about 0.32). About 4.8 nukes would bring the
number up to 75%, and 8 Iranian nukes would
scare away about 90%.

Such a bargain!

Contributions to the Iranian nuclear program can be sent
to me. I'll see that they get into the right hands.
