Not if Israel has anything to say about it.

As a freeper said long ago, it's not that the US has any serious problems with Iran having nukes, it's with the *Mullahcracy* having nukes.

Unfortunately it is too late now

Personally, I'm not sure if Israel is capable of handling it. Their pussy-footing in Lebanon didn't help anything.

Iran is going to have to be hit in a way that tens of thousands of Iranians are going to die, and I don't see any non-muslim nation that has the will to do that.

We have painted ourselves into a corner by being so outraged at terrorists for "killing civilians" when killing civilians is part of every war. We need to be outraged at terrorists for killing OUR civilians, and need to stress the point of killing their civilians in the course of the war.

Mutually Assured Destruction would not be able to be our stated policy these days, even though we held the threat of the total incineration of every man, woman, and child in the USSR up until 1991 without anyone arguing about the "morality" of killing their civilians.

Now, when we are fighting people who target our civilians, we have become paralyzed by the thought of killing any of their civilians.

Something has got to change, and soon.
