Barrett, ''Forbes'', 01.30.08, 2:00 PM ET. Retrieved 2010-03-02.〕 In March, 2009, in a commentary in the ''Washington Times'', Chapin wrote of the risks of negotiating with Iran and the possibilities of Iran launching an electromagnetic pulse weapon against the United States. Hoping to "prevent a looming nuclear doomsday," Chapin proposed a two part plan: :(1) Urgently initiate a massive buildup of the conventional weaponry needed to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and wipe out its retaliatory capabilities as well as arm Israel to the teeth. Also station Aegis anti-missile ships along our coasts while beefing up homeland security and taking steps to mitigate the effects of an EMP attack. To do any less would be totally irresponsible and reckless. :(2) Launch a massive series of preemptive strikes on Iran as soon as possible and send in special ops forces to ensure the mission was accomplished. At the time, Chapin was identified as "founder and president of Make America Safe, a new San Diego-based policy and educational organization focused on the threat posed by radical Islamics to U.S. national security."〔("Destroy nuclear facilities now" ) Commentary by Roger Chapin, ''Washington Times'', March 18, 2009.
