No one would want me president. I would give Israel anything they needed militarily to blow that country back into the Stone ages. When they thought the bombing would stop I would shove 100's more down their throats and would not stop until I didn't hear a sound. Who wants war--I certainly don't. But if a country like Iran with dubious intentions will not bargain with the rest of the world--what other option do I have? Do I let Iran make 300 Atomic weapons? Anyone hear want to sign off on that? Guess what--they would use them on your mother brother and sons and daughters no matter creed color you happen to be. It's just a lesson from history that no one in power can ignore. I would give them an ultimatum--either come to a complete verifiable halt--or prepare to be neutralized in a very aggressive manner.

Yes, help Israel some more. Then Israel can continue its path to take over Palestine and eventually Iran and other Middle Eastern nations with USA's support, which will only lead to more crazy "die for the 72 virgins" guys blowing themselves up on subways and smashing planes into high-rise buildings.

See Briggs thinks all Middle Eastern countries are the same Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, what's the difference he thinks they all live in caves and practices radical Islam, plotting the destruction of the Israel and the US. Anyone not living in the US, Western Europe, and Israel is backwards, uneducated, and savage. So when in that type of mind-set it's no big deal to advocate for the death and destruction of millions of people.

the interesting thing about all this is that most of the citizens in iran do not favor their current govt. yet, we should just blow everyone up regardless because they live in the same country????????

What purpose do YOU suppose Iran wants nuclear weapons?

Like any country, Iran should be able to solve their energy requirements with Nuclear power. Why not? They know their oil+gas reserves and how much longer until they're tapped out. Should Iran not prepare for the day their oil wells run dry?

Exactly! It's like holding all Americans accountable for George Bush's action as President or saying that the US should be bombed because Obama continues to send troops to Afghanistan. Some of us live in a world where it's "do as I say and not do as I do"

I think there is a difference between reactor grade fissile material and weapons grade fissile material. I don't have a problem with reactor grade material. I have a problem with weapons grade. Because of the difference, the world community has subjected itself to non-proliferation and inspection to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. Iran is not part of that non-proliferation treaty.

I think that Ahmanadejad and his predecessors have been quite open about their foreign policy and their beliefs on Israel. He has clearly stated his desire to wipe Israel off the map.

Furthermore, a nation with their track record does not gain "legitimacy" in foreign affairs with a nuclear weapon. They get the right to blackmail the rest of the world. I'd prefer to have discussions with them before they get weapons grade material, rather than after. And while not the most ideal scenario, I might consider the use of force to stop them.

Bitty---would you take even a 5% chance that Iran would make a nuclear bomb that was capable of being entrenched in a mobile device and delivered to US soil to be detonated? And if that takes out your entire family--was is your take on that? I'm sure many Germans felt hopeless and disgusted when their government set out to wipe anyone who did not have blonde hair and blue eyes off the Earth. What did they do when their military killed 6mm Jews?

I am talking direct targeting of all governmental and military targets within Iran. I would wipe out their government and military. I would use Israel to launch a powerful conventional attack on such targets. If there was a counter-attack against Isreal--I would then order a small strategic nuclear attack against the same targets until there was surrender. It worked in WW2 and it will work now.
Hopefully a massive conventional strike would be sufficient but I would not stop and nothing is off the table. There is no second chance--it's an all or nothing strike. Would there be collateral damage--yes. Would the Iranian people who are dissatisfied with current government be able to change it for the better once order was again established--yes. Did a nuclear attack destroy Japan --no. It actually propelled them into a great modern society ruled by democracy. It's pretty simple--we have to wipe them out and it's going to happen.
