Gus > the US doesn't have to commit hundreds of thousands troops to wage war and bring about the necessary "regime change"... it just took two little nukes (over Hiroshima and Nagasaki) to bring home the point to the Japanese leadership....

Then what's stopping them? I'll tell you -- the price is too high.

Sure, they will annihilate many, many Iranians but hundreds of long-range missiles will descend on Israel and many Israelis will also die. In fact, we don't even know whether Iran has a few nukes of its own which were purchased from Ukraine or Pakistan. Likewise, Syria. Never was the expression more true that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It was true in the "cold war" with the USSR and it's true now.
