Iran

[scaeagles]

It is a difficult situation. Should he acquire a nuke and use it on Isreal, Isreal will certain wipe Iran off the map and Isreal has many, many nukes.

However, surely the Iranian leadership knows this. It could be, though, that the desire for the annihilation of Isreal takes precedent over self preservation, as is the case with every suicide bomber out there. Perhaps Ahmadinejad is simply a nuclear suicide bomber.

Looking at the proximity of Europe to the whole mess, I think the best way to resolve this is to have the French, who have been very vocal about their opposition to Iran acquiring nukes, take the initiative and take out the facilities. They are more than capable, and are not viewed by anyone as an aggressor.

I doubt they have the cajones to do it, but it's the best solution I can think of.
