Great article, but I disagree with the conclusion. I would say: please, Mr. Ahmadinejad, heat up the rhetoric fast and talk your way into a sky full of very angry and righteous jets.

We should provide the Iranians with documentary footage of (1) Dresden before and after the Allies destroyed it, (2) the Hiroshima bomb explosion, with before and after pictures, and (3)the Nagasaki explosion, with before and after pictures.
We should convey to them that we are perfectly capable, in our own atavistic way, of evaluating the goodness of Iranians in the very same way Genera. Phillip Sheridan evaluated the goodness of Indians, e.g. The only good Iranians I ever saw were dead.
If that doesn't sober them up, and it likely won't, then Cry Havoc! and let slip the dogs of war!
