One thing we learned from history is that MAD worked.

On one level it did, because it prevented any direct attack upon the US.

But Soviet attainment of nuclear weaponry ALSO resulted in a 40 year proxy war between the US and Soviets, in which hundreds of millions of people were oppressed, and millions of others died as the USSR conducted its global campaign to spread marxism.

So I guess you're alternative solution is to just sit back, let them obtain nukes, and basically let them have their way, no matter how many people are likely to lose their lives in the future as Ahmadinejad ushers in the advent of the Mahdi, right??

Some solution... But what should I have expected, right??

This isn't Adolf Hitler.

No.. this guy is potentially even MORE evil. I don't recall Hitler, prior to his invasion of Poland, threatening to wipe another nation off the face of the map..

Hitler died

After 50 million people had to die so he'd finally pull the trigger and put himself in his grave.

I'm sure the children of our nation will appreciate your cavalier demeanor since they will likely be the ones who have to fight the battle you were unwilling to do anything to prevent.
