#1 "If they keep it up, it could destroy all of Islam!"

#2 An anecdote:

I lived in upstate New York at the time of the Iran hostage crisis. A popular bumper sticker at the time was 'Nuke Teheran'

It's not too late.

The Afghanistan and Iraq invasions were clearly not enough. This is the next step.

#3 "the pent-up anger of inhabitants of the the region could erupt anytime"
And that would differ from the rocket attacks, suicide bombers, and perpetual seething in what manner???

#4 End Ahmadinejad before it is too late. We have been fiddly farting around with this barbaric regime since Khomeni took hostages from our embassy for 400 + days. Doing nothing just emboldens these boneheads.

#5 Not nuke. Partition. Let's keep nukes for when we really need them.

#6 Agreed, we only need two or three nights of specific targeting to end this 27 year bull with Iran.

#7 I just have to keep wondering, and I know Navy and Air Force folks are doing great work in the wars already. But, when people say we are so already strained, we can't fight anywhere else. Seems to me, we got a lot of folks, with a lot of power that could make a difference. But then, I only watch war movies and the Military Channel, so what do I know?

Are we really stretched? Knowing that Iran would first go after us and the British folks setting on the border with Iraq, I just feel like there are lots of Navy and Air Force folks just itching to get into some trouble. But then again, I have and can be wrong. I know football (real US football) tactics, but not much about military tactics, except to admire you all from a distance!

#9 Sherry - bombing capability isn't stretched - Diego Garcia to Iran requires refueling and no overflights - things we are perfectly capable of doing.

#10 Thanks Frank. I needed to hear that -- I just can't believe these guys have anyway of doing anything. But hey, they are good at kidnapping! But then, I hear, got to have boots on the ground and we don't have them. Hum.... Shock and awe seemed to work in Germany and Japan... and we got even more stuff now.

And I just know, deep down in my heart, that just has to be about million of our "retired warriors" still in good enough shape, with the will, to be ready to add their experience in about a month. Question might be, do we have enough guns, bullets and beans for them?

But it's still, as Rove said in a speech in New Hampshire, speaking of the Democrats and war, "They may be with you for the first shots," Rove said of such opponents. "But they're not going . . . to be with you for the tough battles."
