So what are you suggesting exactly? Conventional solution no longer good enough for both of you?

Well, let my views of gun ownership be known: I have a perfectly good axe within reach.

A .45 revolver has a much more potent reach than your axe.

Not in my house, where any of its advantages are negated by my superior tactical awareness :p

My implication is that for defensive purposes, you can do a lot with a little. Nuclear weapons, as I said, are not military weapons in the strict sense; they're made to kill off populations. I thought at this stage it was still about removing Iran's nuclear capacity - or are we secretly hyping up for lots of dead Iranians?

Yeah, you better hope the burglar doesn't have good ears.

And if there's a team of two, you're a goner.

Well, yes. I am promoting a conventional bombing campaign against Iran, including it's entire military, port, some manufacturing and all air facilities. A sustained two week affair. No boots on the ground or land invasion. Tell Russia and China to sit down and shut the 'F' up. Tell the UN to stuff it. Tell American Liberals/Democrats to pack sand. And just get it done. I never insinuated I wanted a strategic nuclear strike. Although waving the big stick without using it might come in handy to dter other trouble makers.

Of course this ain't gonna happen. But it should. And it would solve the problem, and maybe a few others that might think twice.

In addition, I hope for less pain on Isreal than Iran when it comes down to it. I wish for more pain on Iran than America when it all comes out in the wash. If it's us versus them, I choose us and allied nations to survive.
