Iran And Nukes

Mark Steyn on Iran:

"Whether or not we end the nuclearization of the Islamic Republic will be an act that defines our time."

"There can be no "surgical" strike in any meaningful sense: Iran’s clients on the ground will retaliate in Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and Europe. Nor should we put much stock in the country’s allegedly "pro-American" youth. This shouldn’t be a touchy-feely nation-building exercise: rehabilitation may be a bonus, but the primary objective should be punishment—and incarceration. It’s up to the Iranian people how nutty a government they want to live with, but extraterritorial nuttiness has to be shown not to pay. That means swift, massive, devastating force that decapitates the regime—but no occupation."

"The cost of de-nuking Iran will be high now but significantly higher with every year it’s postponed."
