And the problem with that is?

The problem is that the Iranian people could well be out best allies in the area. Most Iranians are NOT anti-American. But they will be after this. We need to take out the leaders, not the people.

[DarthVader]

And the down side is...?

Many millions of Iranians would perish in the retalitory strikes answering something foolish done by the Islamofacists.

"kill up to 10,000+"? This is great analysis. Why not say kill up to 50+ or 50,0000+. This kind of estimate is not an estimate. It means nothing. If it is less than 10,000 they will claim to be right. If it is exactly 10,000 they will claim to be right. If it is more than 10,000 they will claim to be right.

[oceanview]

and I also believe that this claim that the typical iranian "loves the US" is already baloney.

[Daniel Ramsey]

I say we publicly call their bluff.

We Americans can play nuclear poker anytime anyday.

Just ask any submariner.

[Post-Neolithic]

1979 taught me all I needed to know about Iran and it's people.

[Roverman2K]

me too, its on!
As Mr Murphy might say

[Fiddlstix]

How many will die if Iran gets the Islamobomb???

Bingo!

"Alternative approaches must be soug"

OK; How about we sponsor a daily Muhammad Toon; maybe they'll all crap their pants to death.

[petertare]

I thoroughly reviewed this here oxford report. Seems to me to be no downside so I say ready set go!

[ICE-FLYER]

These same idiots proclaimed all the cancer deaths that DID NOT HAPPEN after Chernobyl. Credibility factor out the window.

[Tinman73]

And let's not forget that if Iran develops thermal nuclear devices, it wouldn't be long before Hamas, Syria and every radical Islamic group gets "presents" from Iran for use against the infidels.

It is not just 1 country we are talking about, it is the whole radical movement.

This is not mentioned in the Oxford study at all.

[Hazzardgate]

To quote Danny Devito in WAR OF THE ROSES,

"There is no winning in this - it's just degrees of losing"

<>A major American attack on Iran's nuclear sites would kill up to 10,000 people and lead to war in the Middle East, a report says today.

Only 10,000???? ;o)

[RightWhale]

thermal nuclear

Thermonuclear annihilation has a ring to it.

A major American attack on Iran's nuclear sites would kill up to 10,000 people and lead to war in the Middle East, a report says today.

Wise up you creeps, we're ALREADY at War and the Middle East is just going to become another theatre in the greater W.O.T.

If those insane drooling fools in Tehran get a nuclear weapon, there will be one helluva lot more than 10,000 people killed.

We should have been bombarding Iran from the sea and from the air weeks ago, not jaw-jawing about it, as every day we delay, is another day Iran has to finish up on at least a rudimentary nuclear weapon.

Take 'em out: NOW.

[Tree of Liberty]

I'm of the same mind as Connor from "The Boondock Saints"

Rocco: I know everyone! Their habits, who they hang out with, who they talk to! I've got phone numbers, addresses! ... I know where they *live*! We could kill *everyone.*
Murphy: So what do you think?
Connor: I'm strangely comfortable with it.

[Alter Kaker]

What else do you expect from The Telegraph.

The Telegraph is a well-respected conservative newspaper, and in my opinion by far the best in Britain. More conservative than the Times, and with a higher standard of integrity.

[RightWhale]

Yeah, we ought to worry a little about where the war could go if it isn't ended decisively right there in the ME. Effects are going to impact everywhere anyway with the oil and all.

"I hear that the NEW Iranian Navy has glass bottoms in their boats.
This way, it makes it easier to see the OLD Iranian Navy...."

Excuse meeeee! That has already been trademarked by the French ... only the French can have glass bottom boats.
