Well, then we give Iraq and Israel a missile defense system that can shoot Iran's bomb down before it leaves Iranian airspace.

Problem solved.

Like h*ll! There are no "Marquis of Queensberry Rules" in the nuclear age. They don't get one shot to see if they get lucky.

Nuke Tehran, or perhaps, if one wants to be charitable, their most productive oil field; turn it into a sea of glass. Add Mecca and Medina to the target list for the next sortie. Explain to anyone left in Tehran who hasn't already left the country that they have ONE chance to give up their WMD's, and cede inspection authority to USA inspectors.

The terrorists will never be gone, and the true believers running Iran will follow the Taliban into exile to continue their never-ending Jihad with the west, but they won't have nukes or Iranian petro-dollars to run their Islamic weapons program.

Folks, if Iran gets nukes, Syria, Hezballa, and Al 'Qaeda will get nukes, and we'll be a the tender mercies of the same guys who took down the WTC towers. I'm perfectly willing to allow a few 1,000, or few 100,000 Iranians die to prevent a ground zero in my back yard.

I thought they allready had the Patriot system:

"Patriot's lower-tier air defense against tactical ballistic missiles is part of a two-tier U.S. defense against this escalating threat. Internationally, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Taiwan, and Greece field the system."

Hope it works!

You presume that we have such weapons to give?
