I agree - Bush should not bomb Iran's nuclear sites
Reader comment on item: James Baker's Terrible Iraq Report
in response to reader comment: Dumbest request
Submitted by jim.e (United States), Dec 16, 2006 at 19:18
No war in all of history (that I am aware of) was completely ended until the supporting population was utterly defeated and had lost its will. That is how WW11 was ended. Bush needs to decimate every population center in Iran in ONE HOUR (also the tribal areas of Pakistan). The cost to the US would be less than 1/2 the payload of one submarine. After this the other mohamedan rejimes wil police themselves.
