Yes, that is a problem, but who seriously considers to live by just the good will of some terrorist groups anyway.

I would say we act by the rules of living organisms here who use to deal with multiple problems and challenges in the order of decending priorities: "what is more important goes first". Conventional Iranian missile retaliation, terror strikes and Hezbollha and Hamas and Arabs living in Israel damaging Israel, global oil prices, blocking the street of Hormuz, trouble in Iraq and Afghanistan - all that is of inferior priority compared to preventing Iran having nukes. So refusing Iranian nuclear facilities goes first. Everything else comes only at second, third, fourth place. Sorry I can't line out a method to evade all these consequences, but there is none. Let' prepare for them as best as we could, and then go right through it - since it is coming at us anyway, no matter if we like it or not. the more crisscrossing we add to the course, then longer we stay inside the heavy weather.

Instead of getting our own men killing being "prepared" why not raid them or nuke them? I mean, absolutely every Iranian, Hizbullah, or whoever has a gun even the children, so every one is at a risk already, what are we NOT risking?

The core of that line of logic has led to worse things than war.

Right on Jim! When I had my military history class, there were some hotheads in there that wanted to nuke everybody, and they were serious!:roll: I guess they don't realize all that radiation doesn't stay in one place... Which way is the wind blowing?:dead:

Well, George W. Bush is probably too dopy to go down as the worst mass murderer in human history. :roll:

Nuking around like a lose gun certainly is not what has been on my mind. Nor is there a need for nuking cities, as far as I am aware, or nuking each and ever target that is available for conventional destruction.

Not that it makes any difference for those being dead afterwards.

Thank God you just can'T take any huge, hardened subterranean research compound and move it around at will and place it under Teheran - like Hezbollah use to do with it's facilities in order to provoke civilian casualties.

You guys do realize that men you've never even heard of rely on empty shelled morons like yourselfs to propagate their agendas?

A lot of Americans are too dumbed down by our culture to know any better when it comes to our "foreign policy" decisions.

Does your sensible description include those empty shelled morons who consider themselves to act responsibly and reasonably when allowing themselves to fall to propaganda saying that it all is harmless and we can safely let Iran have its nukes - or that it does not intend them anyway?

And possibly it will not be dumbed down America's decision wether to strike or not anyway - but Israel's.

Irrational sentiments and wishful thinking will not lead anyone anwhere in this. Let's keep it out. I agree that it all is no reason to shout hip-hip-hooray.
