An even easier solution

There is an even easier solution: cooperate fully with the Israelis. Facilitate their attack, grant them flyover rights over Iraq and throw in a few dozens of our own bombers for good measure in support to make sure the job is done and the dream of a nuclear Iran goes up in smoke for good. The price we'll have to pay down the road otherwise is too horrendous to even contemplate. And let's not forget also that by removing the nuclear threat, the mullahs leadership won't have much of a leg to stand on any more. With massive simultaneous support for the forces of democracy inside Iran (which so far Obama has shockingly refrained to express), the mullahs will be swept away and the country will rejoin the community of nations. Let's see now if our president is capable of making such a bold move... or remain forever in preaching mode. At our collective peril.
