And a coherent solution to Iran’s bomb is…..?

1. Bellicose he-man posturing (One o’ dese days, Alice, one of dese days!!! Bang! Zing!!!)

2. Invasion, occupation, and (yet more) nation-building (sign your infant sons up now- the war will still need them in 18 years)

3. Acknowledge that when a nation desires a bomb, no force on earth can relistically prevent it; all the blockades, sanctions, and wagging fingers won’t prevent it. Acknowledge that Iran is on its way to being a nuclear power and deal with them the same as we did with Stalin and Mao; containment, and Mutually Assured Destruction, combined with detente and political pressure.

Not as sexy as a lot of he-man blustering, but more effective.
