11. The war against terrorism will be won only if a majority of the world's sane Muslims come to the belief that their survival, even more than ours, depends on the destruction of the crazed fundamentalists. They can reach this conclusion by judging the character of the fundamentalists themselves or they can come to the conclusion that they would be smarter to fear America more than Allah. Alas, our ability to intimidate the Muslim world into cooperation with us will be severely diminished by the combination of the Iranians having the bomb and the demonstrated ability of "insurgents" in Iraq and Lebanon, waging asymmetrical warfare, to inflict casualties which are PERCEIVED to be unacceptable to Western democracies.

Yes!

Plenty of people know what to hit and in what order. It is a matter of will, and of course the justification of pre-emptive strikes. Should the US set a new standard whereby all nations can say the US can do it so can we. This is one of the sticky points that is hard to resolve at this point in time.
No one but some members of the US executive branch and some think tankers and some air force staff even want to consider pre-emptive attacks on Iran's infrastructure, military, and nuclear/industrial complexes. The rest of the world are against the idea, including all of our traditional allies.
It is a tough call to say the least.
