Actually my fiancee’s nephew works as a fairly high level consultant to NASA and he told us about a year ago that the govt’s worst fear is an EMP. They are very worried about it. If the Iranians run a tramp steamer up the East Coast and fire off a nuke to about 40 miles up and detonate it could take out the whole East Coast grid. If they scuttle the vessel it might be hard to prove who actually did it.

“To which I say, “nuke ‘em all and let God sort them out”

I understand your sentiment, but that would compound the problems we face.

Since these countries are also oil exporting countries, there would go the rest of the countries economy.

Also how would you restrain Russia or China from feeling threatened and shoot off some of their missiles at us.

The best solution is to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons in the first place.
