re: #140 Desert Dog

If the leaders of Iran were stupid enough to launch an attack involving nuclear weapons, they will become the targets. Do you really think Israel would not respond? Do you really think that the USA would not respond if there was a nuclear device detonated on our soil? If Obama did not immediately respond, I think the Generals would push him out of the way and respond themselves. MAD works. We would not sit here and “take it” and try to understand the motives of Iran…we would destroy them totally and completely.

In response to the idea that we could use deterrence to keep Iran in check, as we did with the Soviet Union during the Cold War: “You have people who prize life in the hereafter more than life on earth, they’re not subject to classic theories of deterrence.”
