Wonder why they canned it, I thought it a good idea.

Something called the 'Roman Candle' effect. A significant portion of the blast would travel back up the hole the bomb drilled for itself. This would spread high level fallout locally and lose the benefits of a 'surgical' strike. Remember that Iran has built civilian housing, schools and hospitals over the targets...

That makes me sick. Only countries like Iran do stuff like that.

If Iran wants to avoid its civilians from becoming toast, they should not proclaim that they are going to wipe Israel of the face of the earth. Its not Israel's problem.
