You seem to take issue with countries thumbing their noses as the UN. No, wait, it seems you just have a problem with it coming from a country that isn't the US. I remember a particular incident, almost four years ago now, where they disregarded the UN's ruling completely.

I agree with Purple. Making their country into a cratered wasteland without nukes would not only benefit nobody, but be quite impossible. It would only be a travesty, not the smallest part of which would be the insane loss of civilian life.

So, how could we make a more effective "war" against Iraq? We already did make war against them. It was over in a couple of weeks, and now we're doing a police action to help them stand on their own, which to me is like punching a man out of the blue, breaking his nose, and helping him home. Do you expect him to forgive you for your uncalled-for attack?

Your nationalism is just a little worrying. You think they should learn just what it means to piss off the US? That already happened too. I think they called it "Shock and Awe." What you have in mind, with the absolute bombing of civilian infrastructure and destruction of populations, would be called a "war crime."

Is it such a bad thing to allow the Iranians nuclear power stations? And while we're at it, please remember that there is another country that practices a more extreme version of Islam which also has nuclear weapons. That country is called Pakistan, and boy was it a hellstorm when they developed it! They totally incinerated their old rival India, and then... oh wait, that didn't happen.

Felix: I'm not exactly sure how most of what you posted relates to what I did, since it seems you rambled off some military jargon in an attempt to confuse me, so I'll let that stuff lie. However a couple of things come to mind.
1) Okay, granted, there won't be any National Guard units in this theoretical war. If that's so, then it raises a few more questions. Such as, who will be providing the manpower to occupy Iraq, unless we pour every single NG unit in, and where will the manpower for this strike on Iran come from? There isn't enough strength there to make war on an entirely new country, so are you suggesting we should bring in troops from elsewhere?

Also, I find your implication that the US Navy destroyed a Russian nuclear submarine in a time of peace insulting, both to my intelligence and to the Russian military.

Edit: This article was just brought to my attention. It's relevant both concerning the US Navy and Iran.
