That was the choice the world made. Lose a few European cities and a few American cities instead of taking on Iran when it could be done. That is a done deal. Just waiting to find out which cities go boom. Was not the choice I wanted to make, but apparently Bush Lied and People Died. After we lose a handful of cities, Iran will be flattened and the world will deal with the resulting radiation for a few hundred years.
Yes, of all the planets in the universe, we were born on the dumbest.
