The problem is. How do we deal with them. They are so insulated by design. At the first sign of any incoming toward Tehran, they would all scurry into bomb proof shelters deep underground or high tail it off to points unknown.
Only the direct intervention by a vast majority of royally pissed off Iranians crying for them to be kicked out (arrested and tried and put on the gallows), and fully backed by the military who would somehow be able to counter the RG's vast military assets might bring them down.
They have fully prepared for the worse scenarios many years back in how and who they allow to help run the country.
And sadly, there appears to be a large percentage of Iranians that are neutral or acccept the Islamic laws etc., as a way of life.
How do we take them out without totally destroying the country of Iran? I pose the question with no reason to expect any answers, that have not been covered over and over again. At any rate. I have to hit the rack. Gotta get up around 3:30AM to be at work at 5AM. No joy in that.

In my opinion, the whole purpose and only purpose of attacking Iran would be to destroy its military infrastructure. I advocate destroying their radars, their air defense systems, their nuclear research and development facilities, their air force, their ships, their ammunition storage areas, their weapons plants, their secret police buildings, and as much of their tanks and artillery pieces. This would be a prolonged air/sea campaign that would be unrelenting until Iran's capacity to support terror or to develop nuclear weapons is shattered. But regime change, while highly desirable, in this case would be up to the Iranian people. With the Iranian people presently either cowed or docile, they can either seek to change their country after the air campaign or they can continue to live in the squalor the mad mullahs have brought them to.

(Al Qaeda knows Iraq's strategic value, yet the Democrats work day and night for our defeat there.)
