smoking a couple dozen Iranian military targets would probably put an end to this kind of '3rd-world-hostage-taking-terrorism' once and for all...

It worked with Quaddaffi didn't it. Him and his terrorists and his Gulf of Sidra BS. A few F-111's as I recall, was all it took...Taking out a string of Iranian coastal missile sites and gun emplacements would serve a couple of purposes right about now
