The nukes aren't the problem nor are the folks who design and manufacture them. The problem is the folks in command and control of the nukes.

Amen. And we should avoid insulting the rest of the Persian people.

I agree and therein is the strategic challenge for the Bush administration. If you try to take out command and control, many of whom are probably not very popular with a large segment of the Persian people, how well can you limit collateral damage to the allegedly pro-American majority and how much collateral damage will that alleged majority accept without turning on us. A revolution from within Iran would be preferable, but I see little cause for optimism that will happen soon enough.
