I watched and took notes below and taped much of the conference have not watched yet. As usual, there was too little talk of the fact that Iran WILL fight back hard against any attack and that the US/Israel response is likely to be nuclear.

Audience question: What happens if there is a nuke attack on NYC or a nuclear exchange between Israel and Iran?

Response from Henry Sokolski, Executive Director, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center:
 I've been in a war game when these came up.  Would we want to do something besides hit them with a nulcear weapon?  We have to think about something besides nuclear response: closing the straights, make sure they don't get oil money.  So we must a) prevent and b) not respond in worse way.  Biggest fear should be a nuclear 1914 where nuclear use begets nuclear use and we see major cities snuffed out.  If you ever go to Great Britain visit Bath and the Roman Baths, the only thing missing is automobiles.  It was an incredibly advanced civilization. But it went away. That is possible.

Moderator complains that's a very depressing thought and then calls for break.
