I don't see anything happening over Iran too soon.  Any US president would be insane to start a war with Iran and should be sent to a psychiatric facility immediately.  The EU and NATO definitely won't do anything to piss the Iranians off, Iran has missiles that are within range of their countries.  The UN doesnt have the balls to do anything either (plus you have Russia and China who'll oppose a lot on the Security Council).  Frankly, I think Israel is the only one who can be counted on to do anything at all--which in their case is going to be military action.  That, sadly, is going to drag us (the U.S.), if not Europe, in as well.

Neither, The regime in Iran simply needs to not be able to produce nukes.\n\nDestroy their enrichment facilities and leave it at that.\n\nWe don't need the country.\n\nWith luck, the Israeli's will resolve that for us.

Personally I do not think that we need to go nuclear on anyone. Iran is a Middle Eastern country that we should not have involvement in. This country (US) is great on spreading democracy but other than oil what is our interest there? Why in the world do we need to be making everyone do our bidding? We need to focus in this country on how to improve our own job situations, education, over population, excessive oil use, and  focus on our country not theirs. That is my opinion.

Experts say it still remains unclear how close Iran is to completing a nuclear-fuel cycle. But nuclear experts point out that Iran has proceeded with its enrichment process much faster than many expected and, despite skipping steps along the way, may have passed a point of no return in terms of rolling back its nuclear program. \n\nThe Iranians removed seals from enrichment equipment at their Natanz reactor in January and, within a span of two weeks, developed a cascade of 164 centrifuges. Given the new political facts on the ground and Iran's recent announcement, most experts admit that the most likely option now, especially if the UN Security Council fails to take strict action, is for Iran merely to freeze its nuclear program, not completely dismantle it. \n\nOthers, including the International Crisis Group, have even called for sanctioning a "limited enrichment" program, provided it is coupled with intrusive inspections. CFR President Richard Haass says in a new interview with cfr.org's Bernard Gwertzman that a very limited enrichment program could be permitted as part of a diplomatic package that combines incentives with the threat of military force. Any limited military strike, Haass argues in the FT, would not be "small or quick" and "would not remain limited for long."

Iran, already a foregone conclusion, we're on a collision course. A nuclear Iran will be up there right along with the coming of Hitler and the Bolshevik Revolution.  We're in for a pretty rough ride, are u prepared?

If I'm not mistaken, we've tested a number of 20-megaton nukes before, and the fact that you're able to ask this question means that we've survived that first test. :-)  \n\nAs for how big of a nuke it would take to blow up Earth, a couple of issues you'll have to deal with first is what to do about all of the debris that will settle after the nuke goes off, because as it floats back down because of gravity, then gravity itself will hold down all of the matter upon Earth. As to what it would take to cause the most damage, I've gotten to thinking since the 2004 tsunami that if a well-placed nuke was right on major fault lines either in the ocean or possibly on land (like maybe on the New Madrid fault), the tectonic action resulting from the force of the nuclear blast would be much more destructive than the bomb itself, because the shifting of tectonic plates would then cause damage at a much greater radius from ground zero in the resulting earthquake than would just blast waves in an atmospheric explosion.\n\nMaybe that doesn't answer your question, but it's the best I can figure as I am neither a physicist nor a geologist. :-)

Your country's "President" needs to be wiped off the face of this earth and all it's Mullahs stripped of their power and moolah. ;-)\n\nOtherwise, I think we should nuke Iran.

I do. Iran has a lot of historical site. I`d love too see those. And with their nuclear issue right now, that is a plus for them

Hopefully, Iran.  Someone needs to stop them before they initiate a nuclear holocaust.

Neither. Iran is run by power-mad fascists, who will never act civilized, but they're not necessarily crazy enough to actually use a nuclear device. So, it would probably be a standoff between the civilized world and Iran over this issue.\n\nDiplomatically, every country but the US is afraid to use any pressure. No embargos or boycotts or sanctions. The 3 Euro-wankers that have been negotiating with Iran these past couple of years wasted a lot of time, because they were too much the sitzpinklers, to threaten a punishment of Iran for failure to comply.\n\nThe UN, as usual, is too busy sipping tea and denouncing America and Israel, to actually do or say anything useful.\n\nSo, like for the past 100 years, it means the USA has to do the heavy lifting for the good of mankind once again.\n\nI wish we would tell Iran, "If you attack the USA or Israel, we will wipe you off the face of the earth. Everybody else is on their own, do what you will. May Allah be merciful to them."\n\nI'm tired of spending American blood and treasure defending wankers.

Why should we tell Iran what to do.\nWe should just leave them alone.\nIt's there choice to decide what to use nuclear power for.

Iraq will need us for a long time still. When we are finished there, though, North Korea is in need of an overhaul in a big, big way. For insight on that, rent the documentary "State of Mind". If we don't go to North Korea first, I'm sure we'll go to Iran. YIKES!

yes iran should be able to have a nuke. and we should deliver it to them by air, and maybe one for syria, palestine, and turkey oh and no korea. good people in those countries should start packing up and moving out

I think we need to act.  An air strike targeting uranium enrichment plants combined with covert operations to discover and destroy any hidden nuclear threats would probably work best.  That would minimize civilian casualties and set the nuclear program back for years.  We could then encourage the people to overthrow the current regimen.

short of total nuclear annihilation--dream on

Dear babeintheredbarn, please believe me on this...the Second Coming of CHRIST WILL OCCUR IN THIS GENERATION!!! LOOK at IRAN!--They WILL get a nuclear device sooner than most want to admit. They have a huge ace up their sleeve...OIL! And they want the city of Jerusalem under their control...however, so does a Catholic/German led Europe! So you see, THIS TIME IT IS FOR REAL!!! Iran WILL INVADE JERUSALEM and EUROPE will INVADE IRAN AND OVERWHELM JERUSALEM!!! Every prophecy in your Bible that was predicted CAME TO PASS! Persia,Greece,Rome...all came to power AS GOD SAID IT WOULD! The good news is CHRIST IS COMING TO PUT AN END TO SUFFERING FOR ALL TIME! Face the TRUTH!--either GOD IS REAL OR WE AS THE HUMAN RACE ARE DOOMED. This is not a cute game we are playing...90% of the prophecies in your Bible are for OUR TIME! Some may laugh and scoff--but when it REALLY HAPPENS, it will be TOO LATE to regret it then! But be of good courage. GOD WILL STOP THE MADNESS and usher in peace--REAL PEACE! And YOU my dear can be there to HELP!
