A short raid or missile launch, to demonstrate how easily a few of their heavily defended strategic sites can be made to dissappear, can get us all back to a meaningful discussion

What if such strike FAILS to destroy these few sites? What message would it send?

That's why, unlike Desert One, you apply overwhelming force to all-but-ensure success.

Notice I said "made to disappear". I am not talking about a tactical attack to damage and impair production; but, something on a scale which will make it impossible for future forensic archaeologist to confirm that the site ever existed. The more violent and overwelhming the attack, the more likely that it will get the message across to spared many lives on both sides.
