This is stupid.
Iran is smart enough to know the threat of force is always more powerful than the application of force.
What the recent war between Israel and Lebanon proved was Hezbollah is stronger than we thought, and Israel is weaker than we thought.
The War in Iraq is displaying the limitations of American military power every day.
Iran has power now because nobody really knows what it can do. The moment they remove the fog, we'll have them right where we want them.
The U.S. needs to make a pre-emptive strike and drop 50 tons of camel dung down the Madhi's Well. After that is done, U.S. special forces can kidnap Ahmadinejad and the Aytollah, throw in the well also and seal it shut for a 1000 years.
We can throw Saddam, Nasrallah and al-Zawahiri in there too for good measure before it's sealed.
What it proved is that Hezbollah is more PR savvy than we thought, and Israel is still somewhat constrained by those pesky "morals". I don't think anyone had any illusions that a guerrilla army hiding among a civilian population could be completely destroyed, but Hizb'allah managed to manipulate the situation powerfully. That is their strength. Couple that with the world's unwillingness to cut off the supply of weapons and financial aid, and no army could take them out without laying waste the entire south of Lebanon.
