#1 Screw Iran. Bomb them back into the Stone Age. Make Iran, from the Caspian to the Straits of Hormuz, as lightless at night as is North Korea. Then maybe the mullahs will get the message.

Another illusion is that America is "rolling in the Iraqi mud." I wish that the Arab world would not believe such a statement; Iraq is not another Vietnam, and America is able to conduct more than one war because of its huge political and technological capabilities.

Will someone tell the Democrats this?

#3 The mullahs wont get the message, they'd love nothing better. They would thrive in a climate of fear, hardship and desperation.

#4 I heard something similar on a talk show recently. If the U.S. wanted to destroy the countries of Iran and North Korea they could launch a LIMITED nuclear strike at each and the outcome would be determined in minutes. It is also true that if the U.S. wanted to severely cripple the economies and infrastructures of both countries our Air Power could start the task at 6:00 am and be finished by lunch. But whom do you hear the loudest pronouncements of aggression? Not a direct quote but its pretty much the gist of it. I would add that there is no political will to perform either of the tasks listed above. While it might bring about rapid political change in each country, the bulk of the world would gasp if we shut the lights out in Iran to send them a message.

#6 A possible military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities is in the final stages.

IMO, it damn well better be!
