Orca. you said...."I think it makes sense to shoot first if, and only if, you have concrete information (solid intelligence was the word used by Powell to describe Iraq's WMD) that not doing so will mean being attacked.

That's the simple answer.
".....

I think I agree with that...I have not been saying what should be done but asking others what they thought.

In the case of Iran who have openly threatened USA and the State of Israel and given the fact that most EU countries and the USA believe that Iran will have Nukes very soon and likely already have other WMD ... And given that Iran is under the absolute control of radical islam....I wonder if that is concrete information or solid intelligence?

Unfortunately there are millions of innocent Iranian citizens going to get caught in any cross fire.
