how would they prevent thousands of fellow Muslims from also perishing

They don't care about that. They view it as an opportunity for those Muslims to become martyrs.

The mullahs in Iran, the thugocracy, are only interested in two things: Maintaining their own power and the total destruction of Israel. They intend to wipe Israel off the map. They've said it over and over. Ahmadinejad announced it at the U.N.

Look at what's been happening recently:

Iran now has enough uranium for 2 nukes.

There's a carrier strikeforce in the Gulf with more on the way.

Turkey sent a flotilla to the Gaza poking to see how Israel would react.

Turkey now has an Islamic fanatic as its president. What's happened to our airbases there?

Clinton made a week long visit to Georgia, Armenia and Azerbajan, the latter two border on Iran to the north.

It has been confirmed that Iran is moving troops along the borders with Armenia, Azerbajan, Iraq and Afghanistan.

There are 32 new Command Control Centers spread throughout Iran.

Iran has been creating detention camps around the country in anticipation of an uprising.

Israel has sent ships to the Gulf.

Iran tried to get a flotilla through the Suez but were turned back by the Egyptians.

New sanctions have been imposed on Iran to include Oil and banking.

The UAE has closed its ports to Iran.

Saudi Arabia has given Israel permission to use their air space.

and...

Feverish preparations are afoot in Tehran for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's first visit to the Lebanese capital. Reporting this, debkafile's Iranian sources define the trip's purpose as a confrontational exercise to warn the US and Israel that full implementation of the tough new UN, US and European sanctions will provoke an Iranian war on Israel - waged from Lebanon.

Iran's rulers came up with this plan in their marathon consultations last week, prompted by the realization that the US embargo on gasoline and other refined oil products were for real. Combined with the Obama administration's partial success in closing the US banking system and markets to Iranian firms and the UAE's consent to close its ports to Iranian traffic, the new measures have the potential for throwing a large spanner into the Islamic Republic's normal economic activity.
