If you like what is going on in Iraq right now, go ahead and bomb a major islamic religous center. You would swing the 80% of them from a neutral stand to a negative one.
Bombing is not the solution to everything. Pacificism isnt either.
Iran will topple from within. THAT is where we should focus. When they get to the point of being close to building the bomb, we should take out those facilities only.
Bombing dams and other non military sites is simply stupid and not in the best interest of our overall mission: which is regime change and a positive relationship with the Iranian people.
Thank you Dr. Phil.
After all, what kind of 'god' can't protect this holiest of holies, an object that he requires everyone bend over and worship five times every day.
One that is so crucial that every True Believer must make at least one physical pilgrimage to visit in order to be in good grace with their pig-dog-god.
Yes, short term there would be a bloodbath the likes of which the world has never seen short of a Biblical Prophet's nightmares, but that will die down in less than a century.
The alternative is to have a much worse bloodbath spread over several millenia.
