The 'loonies' in Iran might be prety bonkers but they are not that bonkers to commit national suicide. What would they gain from it?

Ask Skybird...he seems pretty versed in loonies.
Again you assume you are dealing with rational people yet the ,I'm sorry to say, religion/belief of many Muslims is that if you kill as many infidels as possible you bump yourself right up to the head of the class in heaven...this is the short and ugly version but it's the truth...GET OVER IT and ACCEPT IT.
This is who you are dealing with...now try to have a rational,peaceful,co-exsistence with someone who actually believes if he kills you it is not different than killing a cow?
I did not make this religion up...I just try to understand my opponents pov and understand it I do.
INFIDELS!
Such overwhelming detterents only work if the people you are deterring want to live more than die.
