Your talking about killing hundreds of thousands of Iranians until their leaders surrender unconditionally (?)
It’s probably the only option besides an all out ground war etc. but I can never see it happening.
Agreed. Their leaders are a bunch of cult of death nut cases that don’t really CARE how many of their people they sacrifice, if it brings back their Mahdi from the bottom of that well, or whatever. I’ve said this since 9/12/2001, killing these nutcases or turning their deserts into glass is not going to solve the problem! That part of the world is infected with a virus more virulent and deadly than rabies, and we should treat them like rabid animals. We should stay the hell out of there and we should under no circumstances allow their cult members into our country. Unfortunately, our leaders, from W on down, have insisted that we can somehow reform these cultists, and by showing them the error of their ways, live with them like normal human beings. Our politicians insist on importing the madness into our country, like they think they will be grateful or something. Immediately after 9/11, we should have made it clear that Islam will be treated like any other deranged sect of terrorists and expelled from our midst. Instead, they go about stirring up hornets nests all over the middle east, then insisting that we have to accept the “refugees” Piss on that idea.
"It" is no option at all.
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki occurred at the END of a long and bloody war which depleted Japan's manpower and resources.
Use of nuclear weapons against Iran would be completely different.
