The genocidal rhetoric coming of Iran makes it possession of nuclear weapons absolutely unacceptable. Consider, also, that Iran and many of the other Islamic countries already claim to be in a state of war against "The Zionist Entity."
If the UN and European nations can't band together to stop this latter day Hitler by any means necessary (fat chance) then the UN and its pretensions about "international law" and "collective security" are a joke we can no longer afford to humor.
I Corrected the Title
It is so...I was talking to several Army officers the other night, that's what they said. I spoke of Israel and they confirmed there's a real possibility that Israel will hit Iran.
Should preemtive force be used?
Yes, but only by Liberal War Heroes led by Kerry, Kerry & Clark.
faster then a deacon in a whorehouse, quicker then the blink of eye, and faster than s*it through a goose.
There was a BBC report last week that an Israeli air and ground strike on the Iranian nuclear facility is already in the works, planned for early April 2006.
Considering that the argument is designed specifically to allow Iran the time needed to perfect medium/long range delivery systems for devices they already have makes these never ending arguments immensely useful.
Millions will die tomorrow due to todays inaction, and not all of those millions will be just Jews as many hope.
One pilot.
The US doesn't have to do anything. Israel will take care of this problem easily and efficiently, like they did with Saddam's nuclear facility some years ago. The Israeli air force is so far superior to the Iranian defenses that it is unlikely they will lose a single aircraft.
if not military force...what other force do you recommend?
Yeah, OK we did that.
Now can we attack them?
By the way, a dead lawyer ought to be part of reaching any good decision.
The only troops we'll need are B-52, B-1 and B-2 crews...8-D
I've got Dec 24th in the Zot pool.
Those are good ones. I like the Deacon one best.
The Soviet Union was no threat to the continental United States in 1948 but that did not stop far-seeing leaders from establishing NATO to keep the Red Army where it was.
The first notification of the existence of a definite islamic "threat to the continental United States" will be just a bit too late.
I'm not interested in waiting for that threat to develop. The first Cold War, with determined but sane and calculating Soviets, was bad enough for my taste. Now we are talking about psychotic moslem A-holes playing around with nukes, who consider a retaliatory strike from the West as causing mere "damages."
The answer to the question in the title is, "whatever it takes."
The day we decide to bomb Iran alone without the Europeans we will face nothing but criticism.
Yes : we will be saving their asses and getting criticised for it. I say let them sweat awhile. Let Iran nuke them and then we wipe out the whole stinking monster.
