Reader comment on item: Deterring Tehran
in response to reader comment: It aint gonna happen
Submitted by LD Cary (United States), May 9, 2006 at 16:23
"The only way to stop Iran is to overthrow the regime and then occupy Iran and stop the anti-Western incitement. That is what worked with Nazi Germany and Japan and that is what is necessary."
And that is, in my opinion, the cold, absolute, alarming truth. Thank you.
