Millions, but they'd be Israelis and Americans so they don't count.

That's exactly the point isn't it.

Probably as many as died when other countries had it.

More than 10K. If civilians die because we or Israel have to take out Iran's nukes, it will be the fault of the mullahs.

I am leaning on putting nuclear weapons in theater and sending through back channels that if a single missile is place on a launch pad carrying a nuclear weapon there will be swift nuclear retaliation. This retaliation would be massive and certain. I don't believe at this time we should get involved in another conventional conflict which would have many unforeseen consequences.

Some consequences that can be foreseen:

1. The bombing campaign would be long and sustained and there is no certainty we would get all the nuclear sites.

2. Oil prices would be effected, to what degree that can't be known right now.

3. A possible expansion of the low intensity conflict in Iraq, possible in the form of a civil conflict or a direct war with Iran.

4. Increase terrorism, which could be right here in America, and might damage the resolve to win the wider War on Terrorism.

We can't get distracted from our primary goals, which are to end terrorism and promote democracy in the Islamic world. Are action can't look like a CRUSADE against Islam. We need to mix bombs with diplomacy, strength with hope for the future. Stop the violence and we will do business with you, should be the message that comes loud and clear.
