re: #411 Somalia: Libertarian Paradise

Merely blowing up some Iranian facilities (Some are too deep to strike conventionally) will only delay Iran.
But some of you keep telling yourselves that’s all we’ll have to do to stop them.

I don’t think anyone’s saying that. I suppose it’s possible to completely destroy their program but it’s unlikely. Once the Mullahs get nukes they become very entrenched and much more difficult to remove from power. A delay of a few years may be all it takes for the people to topple the regime. Right now their hold on power is fairly weak and getting weaker. The next revolution in Iran is going to be a secular one and the people of Iran want nothing to do with Hezbollah and don’t really give a shit about Israel. They want fashionable clothes, porn and booze. A secular regime may still continue the nuclear progame but it would be much less problematic.
