Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran

McCain sang about it. It is on everyone's mind. And now with a new International Atomic Energy Agency report claiming that Iran has produced enough nuclear fuel to create an atomic bomb, the question of whether to bomb Iran has perhaps changed to when are we going to bomb Iran? Iran is a very dangerous country, aside from Ahmadinejad's ignorant rhetoric, because it has come out the only clear winner of the war in Iraq. Its longtime enemy was eleminated and replaced by a Shi'ite controlled government that barely falls short of being a proxy of Iran. Iran is dangerous because it now has a great deal of power in the middle east and with the development of a nuclear bomb it will emerge as the main military power of the region. It is dangerous because it sets a terrible precedent for other rogue nations to pursue a similar program. And it is very dangerous because the very existence of Israel is at stake with a nuclear armed Iran. For all that, and for much more, I believe we are overdue for a military operation inside of Iran that will cripple if not eliminate its nuclear facilities and reactors.
