"I think somebody should blow up their nuclear facilities if it's feasible to do that cleanly and effectively."

Have you thought about what good targets our own might make? The first to lob a grenade may not be the last.

Why should we blow them up? Israel has nukes. Why shouldn't Iran have them? If they misuse them, blow them off the face of the planet, but I really doubt that is going to come up. This seems like an issue of big balls- everyone wants to have big balls in the ME (and probably elsewhere), and nukes are nice big balls to swing around. I don't see that anyone would be interested in using them.

The guy in NK is a kook...smart, but nutty. Don't know much about the fellow from Iran. Most of the world's bigger countries are appalled at his voicing of the 'need to destroy Isreal'....And for that reason, I think the world is finally listening to what he says. He seems certifiable...

From what I've read, most of the young people in Iran are heavily pro-Western ideas and thoughts. I feel very sorry for them having to deal with a madman.
