Rudy on irresponsible people with nukes

An ironic Rudy statement from today's Meet the Press (my emphasis):

GIULIANI: ...I don’t think the military option is the thing that we want. I mean, that isn’t the thing that we, we, we want to get to if we don’t have to. Again, we would only get to it if it was a last resort and under this kind of an analysis. Understanding it would be dangerous and risky, but that it would be more dangerous and more risky for Iran, a highly irresponsible regime, to be having nuclear weapons. It was the worst nightmare of the Cold War, the idea that irresponsible people would have nuclear weapons.

As I wrote back in October, he knows nothing about foreign policy, his foreign policy advisers are crazy, he has no understanding of the appropriate exercise of executive power, and displays little concern for the niceties of free speech. Rudy should not be put in charge of the executive branch and I certainly don't want his finger on the red button. Do you?

(Obvious disclaimer that I meant to add per Rob's comment below: I'm not saying Giuliani is the equivalent of the leaders of Iran.)

I'd have no problem with Rudy's finger on the red button, nor the finger of any of the serious Presidential candidates of either party. The notion that any of them, with or without foreign policy experience, would be remotely as irresponsible as the nutjob who runs Iran is just plain perverse.

Why even respond to Rob's strawman?
