> The Bush doctrine of pre emptive strikes is about saving the lives of innocent civilians < And what were the 15,000 confirmed civilian deaths in Iraq then? Some peg the number at 20,000; some suggest its far higher. So far the "Bush doctrine" (which is really the Paul Wolfowtiz doctrine) has killed more innocent civilians than 4 "9/11"s. Do you only consider "innocent civilians" if they are "our" innocent civilians?

Prior.....BUT I think bombing is not an effctive option. My thought is to let the Mullahs know that any attack by Al Quaeda or one of its associated groups that using a nuke on US soil will be treated as an attack by Iran on US soil....and full retaliation will follow......I would provide the Iranian with 48 hours notice to evacuate Teheran and then reduce Teheran to a large, smoking crater.....let the Iranians ponder the glowing crater and decide if they'd like to continue sponsoring that kind of terror......there are over 350 possible sites of nuke activity in Iran .....they learned from the Israeli attack on iraq's nuke plant.....
