#2 If we're not going to bomb the hell out of Iran we might as well arm the opposition groups so Akmed-dinnerjacket can get a real taste of his own medicine. We'll just deny we're doing it. Maybe they will get the hint.

#4 IRAN is one place I'd be willing to nuke, especially Qom, Isfahan, Natanz, and a couple of other, less-well-known sites. We'd then have to take out everything along the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf. That includes quite a number of artillery sites, about 30 SILKWORM missile sites, hundreds of small boats, submarines, and other dangers to civilian shipping, and quite a few of the Revolutionary Guards. Bushire and Kharq Island can be neutralized by conventional weapons. The entire coastline, however, will have to be captured and held by military forces. We need a substantially bigger Army and Marine Corps for that - about double what we have now.

#5 OP, as you grow increasingly selective about whom you would nuke and when, you grow evermore persuasive. Pakistan and Iran remain the only two legitimate first use targets I can readily confess to. Both of them have earned it in spades, if not positively begged for it on bended knees.
