Default The Time to Bomb Iran is NOW!!

Walking out of the talks with the EU? A Bin Laden look-a-like in a suit ranting about nukes at the UN?

Isn't it about time they were referred to the Security Council, so we can get a "mickey mouse" resolution and then teach them a lesson in Western Diplomacy? Who do they think they are? Their "shady" changes in position, rhetoric and thinly veiled threats all point to one thing - They want nukes and they are planning to develop them. We know they can't be trusted. We need to do something before these religious nuts get a working weapon.

Don't need no troops on the ground, just overfly and bomb infrastructure, reactor sites, laboratories. Easy peasy, problem solved..

In the long term its the best option, sure short-term it would cause a few problems with the tree-hugging liberals. But these Iranian idiots are probably stupid enough to use it or lose it if they get one working..

cant just fly or sail into iran do you think they wont fight back ?

iran has a very good SAM systerm and air defence systerm not only that they have three submarine which could pose a great threat to any ship or submarine nearin the coast

what do you plan to do ?

over fly it with B52 and drop bombs those B52's would bearly make it home if at all those slow bombers would fall victim to the masses and masses of air defence missiles come to think of it so would many planes.

They are all towell heads, so it's ok.

"Let's Bomb Iran." I think this thread needs to be locked, or title edited out. What kind of message is it sending out?

If you post 'Let's Bomb USA" it would be locked immideately, surely? Do the right thing.

Default The Time to Bomb Iran is NOW!!

The majority of the Iranians are young, educated, Western-minded and sick of the Ayatollahs. They want democracy and reform.
The hard-core reactionairy leadership is quite isolated and needs extermal pressure in order to stay in power, otherwise they might be gone in 5 to 10 years.
Regime change? Fine with me.
With U.S. support? Fine with me.
Through a military attack? No thanks, the initiative must come from the people, support should come when they ask for it...
In the meantime the US should try to win the trust of progressive and reform-minded Iranians.
