Just for the sake of argument, let's say Iran's nuke sites are invulnerable to conventional weapons or clandestine attacks. What are our options? With Russia rearing its head again in the Middle East, does the President still have any military options he can risk without the conflict becoming global.

It might be our only option to take that risk. We can risk the CHANCE of Russia entering the fray or allow the suicidal fanatics who rule Iran to get nukes and USE THEM.

It's not like there's only one site or that we even know where all the sites are. Iranians are strategic and paranoid. A terrible combination. It seems to me that behind the door stuff might be a better solution -- that and praying a stable democracy in Iraq tips the population... In other words, I have no clue, lots of fear, and some hope. We'll have to trust Bush -- he'll know the path.
