The Iranians are just about ready to become a nuclear power. In the past, the Russians and the Chinese had nuclear power, but they realized that if they attacked the United States, that we would attack them. They were, in a manner of speaking, rational.
The Iranians, on the other hand, have been involved in radical terrorist activities for the last 30 years. They have had their fingerprints on most terrorist plots and been the disturbance behind the scenes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. They are not afraid of killing Americans, or for using woman and children as suicide bombers.
The solution, as always, is peace. Total peace...Carthagian peace.
We have tried the diplomatic solution. It has failed miserably. The only other action is to do what Rome did in Carthage.
For those of you that don't remember your classic history, Carthage was a terrorist state. They had ships on the Mediterranean, and they would, when they could, hijack a Roman ship and hold it for ransom. Finally, the Romans had enough.
They laid seige to the city. When they conquered it, they killed the men, sold the women into slavery, and salted the earth. (According to some historical accounts.)
We need to have a "pastoralization" of Iran. Let's return it to its natural, pre-industrial state. With a lowered population, lowered industrial state, and a beautiful, natural condition where animals and wildlife can take hold.
Let's not wait for the Iranians to kill others, let's return Iran to nature now.
