It is suicide to wait until Iran already has nukes to do something. Waiting gives them more time to prepare, and does nothing for us but increase our risks, especially when the turncoats in the CIA seem to be doing everything they can to sabotage our intelligence network.
I think 'suicide' may not be the precise analogy. It would be more like "take the second punch."
America as a whole has completely forgotten about 9/11. Even if Israel was nuked today, the Left would scream "chance for peace!" Only when there is a smoking crater (again) will the US have the unopposed right to retaliate w/nukes on the Middle East. Though it means tens/hundreds of thousands dead this time, and areas tox'd for decades, it's the only time that a US nuke strike will again be possible, politically on the world stage and even here.
And a nuke in the ME, as so many trigger-happy mushroom-cloud-over-Mecca Freepers know, is the only thing that will get through to them (as with us).... the reality of all-out-war.
Thing is, though, a pre-emptive nuke strike for us is not possible, and we'll never have the nerve to go nuke early enough to prevent a smoking crater.
Not suicide, just hundreds of thousands of preventable innocents being killed.
Given western political paralysis I am gaming we wait to see the mushroom cloud before any action is taken.
I just hope they try to isolate the US by hitting Europe first; Israel will absorb a fatal first strike and send out a hundred or so city busters all over the ME, while Europe will simply surrender.
