I have a strong feeling that historians will look back at this past week and say that we missed a tremendous opportunity to avoid disaster when we didn’t grab Ahmadinnerjacket when he was in New York.

Iran and their head nutjobs have been telling us for many years that we’re headed for a confrontation. Why do we not believe them? What is so surprising about the possibility?

It's necessary to eliminate the ruling council and all of their running dog lackeys.

Pulling the plug on one of their little mouthpieces does nothing.

Agree in full. He is only a puppet to be used as the mullahs feel appropriate.
Sadly many Americans and most likely Europeans do not understand who runs Iran in the background.

You are discussing a slightly different situation.

If the guy is running for election in this country, send money to his opponent.

We need to cut Iran down the its actual size and stature in the community of nations.
We are a superpower. It does us no good if we have to worry about public opinion. Whatever we do will be forgotten in two years anyway.
Our rules should be:
Not to be afraid to be powerful.
Hit harder than necessary.
Don’t flinch.
Not to worry about alienating already-hostile populations.
Do everything possible to make terrorists and their supporters live in terror themselves.
Use a nuke if a nuke is needed. It has been more than 60 years since anyone was attacked with a nuke. It is no longer a threat, because nobody believes we would ever use one.
That can be corrected in the blink of an eye and then our enemies actually will worry.

The ideas that revolution or negotiations will solve this problem are losing favor in the WHite House and Pentagon.

Tehran better wake up, and soon.
