1. I’ve read lots of (open source) proposals to eliminate the Iranian regime and its nuke program. Many involve subversion, economic warfare, bombing, SOFs, and even occupation of key points such as Kharg Island. None of these plans involved a multi-corps invasion of 300,000 soldiers.

2. The Iranian threat is not going to go away, even if Ron Paul puts on his red shoes, taps them three times and wishes we were back in 1827. The mullah-regime of Iran will become more dangerous and more expensive to deal with once it fields nuclear weapons and uses them as an umbrella to protect inherent policies of international aggression and terrorism.
