## Resource

Iran's been building a nuclear site buried deep inside a mountain — deep enough that normal bombs might not crack it. U.S. officials, including the President, have floated using a small — 'tactical' — nuclear weapon to destroy it instead. I'm not here to tell you what the Pentagon should do. I'm going to show you how our own tradition would build both sides of this argument.
