my vote: Embargo
Squeeze Iran like a pimple until she cries "uncle!"
We'll pay the price at the pumps but IMO Iran is not worth the cost of one American Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

1. If we allow Iran to develop and deploy nuclear weapons, a lot more than just one American serviceman or woman will be at risk. This isn't about "Iran" in the sense of trying to liberate or help or impose a government on that unfortunate country, it's about preventing madmen from using nuclear weapons. That's been "job one" for our military for a number of years now. 2. With the arguable exception of the "boycott" of (white) South Africa, name one "embargo" or sanctions regime in modern times that actually "worked". 3. You and I may be willing to "pay the price at the pump", but a lot of our fellow citizens, Chinese citizens, Europeans, etc. would look you in the eye and say, "What do you mean we, paleface?"
