If an attack is eventually required, I would use some of those EMP cruise missiles that we reportedly now have and simply turn off the lights in Tehran for a while. Our focus should be on tipping Iranian public sentiment towards the mullahs over the edge, and that might be the straw that does it. Killing Iranians in a conventional attack might cause the populace to cozy up to the mullahs, which is why Iran is trying to provoke an attack, but just turning the power off could have the opposite effect.
I agree, the populace is obviously sick of the mullahs and, had not Obama prevented it, the mullahs would have been overthrown several years ago. And I think that’s exactly why the mullahs are trying to get the US to respond with force, because this would make the people get back into line, if only to survive.
