I have an idea. Let's install a proxy in the region and arm them with our nukes. Maybe Paraguay. Perhaps we can even conjur up some mythical reason to illegally occupy the Falklands, and establish a Guantanamo like presence there. I mean, it's the American way, and everyone on the planet is in awe of how just, righteous and perfect we are, aren't they?
We should do this in the best interests of the countries and cultures in the region. I mean, look how stable the Middle East is as a result of our benevolent posture and actions there.
electrojohn, stop and think about what it really is you're musing about. how did you make the leap to the position you appear to advocate? you appear to have "rationalized" committing outrageous acts of war on a nation that may (or may not) eventually possess nuclear weaponry, and appear to be licking your chops at the prospect of the judeo christian henchmen we installed in the region doing same.
wtf?

It's easy to see that you do not approve of electronjohn's proposal, but the question up for debate is: What Would YOU Do ????
Just how you would you deal with Iran ?
Sincerely,
Bill

That's a lot deeper than what I said but we're saying the same thing.

You mean, we actually attempt to limit our adversaries ability to acquire holocaustical weapons? Jeez, we're a bunch of idiots.

In other news -- invoking Godwin's Law -- Poland is manifestly ours!
(sigh)

I think we should invade Canada first. Second time's the charm!

That's exactly what I was looking for: How would YOU deal with Iran? Obviously, what I proposed was a way to deal with a worst-case scenario: All else has failed...the only option left is the military option. Carpet-bombing with B-52s is a non-starter...ICBMs to turn the place into a molten lake won't pass muster here or with the world community...so you're left with exploring the most efficient way to accomplish the objective: Kill the electricity and you kill the program.
I suppose I should start another thread: What would YOU do about Syria?

I'm siding with Zeke and Pete on this one.
As a peace gesture to the mullas we should deliver the deceased Shah as they have demanded. The Cromwellian solution usually quiets down the hubbub and the rabid warmongers go back to sharpening their long knives in the dark.
OP, taking out the power grid as you've envisioned violates quite a few conventions and treaties that we've fostered. Just because we've essentially used the Geneva Convention for toilet paper once or twice doesn't mean a logical precedent has been established, I hope.

Better yet , invite them to take out Miami or LA if that'll make them feel better. Randy Newman said it best" Let's drop the big one and see what happens. Boom goes London, boom Paris." I'm with Neo, today!
