A Fairer Iranian Options Thread

[The Duke]

First of all, Iran is at least three years from having the bomb.  And mind you, three years is the hyperventilating, over reacting estimate that assume they won't suffer any setbacks.

And that's just one bomb.

Yes, Iran is a cause for concern, and yes they must be prevented from getting nuclear weapons, but it is premature at this point to talk about military strikes.

As WMS has said, it makes  a hell of a lot of sense to finance refomrers on the ground.

But let's say we're sitting here in two years and nothing has changed.  Let's just say.

The smart thing to do is, if no progress can be made over the next few years, is bomb those targets which can be bombed from the air.  You wouldn't elimiante the Iranian program, but you would set it back.  Make the threat that any Iranian retaliation will be met with the destruction of their oil infrastructure.
