I figure if we are intelligent about this, we will support and lead the opposition and bomb few Islamic government headquarters in Tehran, Tabriz, Mashad, Isfahan, Shiraz, …and let Iranian people hang the remaining un fled mullahs for therapy. But however, as long as mullahs are ended, its good value for the money.

Nuclear warheads are BAD stuff. However, if the Mullah's gained control of one or two, and shot their wad of a few of 10-15Kt nukes, it would bring consequences beyond their imagination.

A nuclear strike on any US target/forces would likely clear the tubes of a many multiple Trident II D-5s (thermonuclear ~ 375Kt to 450Kt). And thermonuclear warheads are REALLY BAD stuff.

I pretty much agree. We may not even have to bomb anything. Just spread a few million here and a few million there. That's the least we can do for Carter screwing up a perfectly normal country.

I agree. Also to include other guilty parties, the Iranians themselves were only board when they took to the streets 25 years ago. Shah’s regime was not broken so the lesson of “be careful what you wish for” rings true more than ever.
