About time. I have suggesting this for weeks.

A preemptive nuclear strike on Iran?

[Canard]

This is not rational thought.

[garbageseeker]

Yes.

[No Blue States]

"This week new and highly disturbing evidence came to light that this is exactly what Russia is doing. According to a western intelligence report published earlier this week, satellite images showed large volumes of heavy Russian weaponry heading towards Iran. The weapons belonged to Russian military units evacuating Georgia, as part of the Russian-Georgian agreement signed in March, which calls for all Russian troops to be withdrawn from Georgian soil.

President Bush, please take a new peek into Putin soul...you might have missed something.

[mazack]

This is not rational thought.

As much as I dislike Iran and what they are doing, you are exactly right.

[Straight Vermonter]

This is the first I have heard about the weapons moving into Iran from the Caucasus area. Very interesting.

[Diogenesis]

Is there another way to stop the irrational thoughts of Iran
given that their insane irrational government of terrorists
is playing 'mokusatsu' and 'haragei' with every reasonable proposal?

[garbageseeker]

I have always supported a preemptive nuclear strike on their command and control facilities and nuclear facilities to permanently put them out of business using Jericho-2 missiles.

[AdvisorB]

Why stop there, why not hit China, North Korea, and Venezuela while your at it?

Why would anyone in their right mind want to nuke Iran, when Iran is only half Iranian, and of the Iranians, 60 to 70% of them hate the Ayatollahs and Mullahs.

"This is not rational thought."

Nor is Israel ignoring a nuke armed Iran that has stated their goal is the destruction of their country.

Crazy world.

It go BOOM! >>>>veg<<<<<<<

A pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran by Israel or the United States would be an enourmous mistake, and would likely cause a global war the likes of which we have never seen. China and Russia would immediately align with Iran, as would the rest of the Middle East. Our energy supply would be immediately cut off (at least 70% of it), and our domestic economy would probably go into a depression. Even if our allies stepped up and fought beside us, the war would either be long and bloody or short and nuclear.

If Israel is attacked, we should come to its defense. But they should not start throwing nukes around unless they are anxious for the apocalypse.

[JimRed]

This is not rational thought.

It is not only rational, but it may be necessary. Conventional munitions would require too many strikes to assure success, when what Israel needs is a check mate.

[Canard]

I would suggest that 'ignoring the situation' and 'anihalating part of their country with a nuclear strike' are by no mean the only two options here.

[garbageseeker]

Israel has a right to defend herself including the use of tactical nuclear weapons. She also has the right to preempt using tactical nuclear weapons. Israel would doing the world a favor by permanently putting Iran out the nuclear business.

[AmericaUnited]

In the great immortal words of Ronald Maximus Reagan, "Let the bombing begin in 5 minutes."

[marron]

If your enemies are coming for you in the morning, you'd best go and get them tonight.

Iran has declared itself at war with Israel many times, and not one but several Iranian leaders have said that they want a nuclear war, because they can survive it whereas Israel can not.

To let these people get their hands on a nuke is the worst mistake Israel could make.

[No Blue States]

What other realistic options do you see?
