You can't play around with conventional weapons when the stakes are so high. It will take nukes to get a decent kill probability.

An electromagnetic pulse bomb or two may be in the works as well. I doubt that Iran's military has hardened all of the electrical devices associated with their military assets. In addition, the use of E-Bombs could cripple Iran for many years, and take them out of play indefinitely. Nothing would work. Cars, watches, radios, etc.

You don't want to send the rest of the country back into the stone age. Doing so might make them more likely to side with the rest of the religious extremists in that country.

Electro Magnetic weaponry is okay if we're going to invade and confiscate, etc..

Why bomb them with the intent not to break and smash things?

An E-bomb to neutralize all electronics etc. - Great idea, better than my more aggressive suggestions posted yesterday in another thread. Does the E-bomb not have to be a nuclear device itself? Not that I mind.

From reports from all over, the choice comes down to either send an armada to bomb some 5,000 military sites, destroy about 345,000 of the regime's Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) or go on "chatting" with Iran and end up with tens, actually multiples of tens of millions of US and European casualties. Just as happened with Hitler who ended up costing more than 50 million dead (if I remember correctly) in World War II.

Plus according to some estimates today, around 10 million dead just in the Middle East alone if Iran is not dealt with adequately.

Even worse is the danger of Iran upsetting the currencies of the world with the new Oil Bourse (Exchange) they are setting up in March and causing an economical global crash which could lead to hundreds of millions out of work and starving in the USA, in Europe and around the world as a domino effect takes place.

Iran has built many sensitive sites buried beneath towns and populated neighborhoods to protect them with unwilling and innocent human shields. Collateral damage is inescapable, though in some instances we can provide an early warning to residents for those targets to move out without harming our attack plans.

While we might feel sorry for those innocent people, should we not feel equally sorry for the hundred thousand times greater death and misery Iran will cause to the rest of the world? Compared to the thousands who die in collateral damage in Iran, tens of millions will stay alive around the globe if we act as required.

I report, you decide.
