The far more interesting question regarind nuking the ME is what Hillary (or any POTUS) would do if Israel first used nukes in the ME. Since they have them, and nobody else does, this would seem to be a more realistic concern.

There is nothing like walking in someone else's shoes.

Every time I get angry about a country and want us to do something about it I think of the people, just like us who do not want the present government in Iran but are powerless to do anything about it.

Read this book by Azar Nafisi entitle Reading Lolita in Teharan and you will have a lot of empathy as to what ordeals the Iranian women are enduring. To bomb them or annihilate them is just warped thinking in my opinion. They bleed like we do etc. etc.

Are you concerned about the million children that would be killed if we obliterate Iran?

I objective is not to obliterate children. The point is to make Iran believe you just might in order to deter them from obliterating other children.

I want no part of that ... just in case the pearly gates really do exist.

Unless you want to have to explain at the pearly gates why you tolerated the potential or actual obliteration of Israeli children.
