"Fox News Fans" explain how they'd stop Iran nukes if THEY were president
Dealing With Iran

Today's question:

If you were president, what would you do to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193601,00.html

"If I were president, I would completely eliminate the problem by taking out every Iranian nuclear plant we know of with an air strike. Then, if Iran wants open war, end it fast by using air superiority. Russia and China might balk at first, but they will not want war with the U.S." — Nick (Oklahoma City, OK)

"I say we should silently encourage Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, then we respond like the PLO would against suicide bombings and say 'we condemn the attack.' I believe that Israel can easily justify the attack since Iran's new leader has already threatened them several times. Those types of threats should not be ignored." — Jason (Donnelly, MN)

:spray:

"If I were president of the United States, I would not only eliminate Iran’s entire nuclear infrastructure, but also military installations, government headquarters and any other infrastructure that may be of use to Iran in harming the U.S. or the world. I would carry this out via air strikes. These air strikes would have no timetable. When we decide that we are finished and satisfied that the threat is eliminated, then we will be done. There is no need for one drop of American blood to be spilled over this. We have the intelligence and means to do this correctly, swiftly, successfully and on our terms. What about China and Russia? Too bad." — H.M.H

:spray:

"If I were president, I would deal with Iran the same way Bush dealt with Saddam and the Taliban — hit ‘em hard, hit ‘em fast, and remove another terrorist-harboring dictator." — Doug

:spray:

2. I got news for these dipshits
If they're under some illusion that we could beat China in a war, they're in for a rude awakening.

3. The solution is simple
Edited on Fri Apr-28-06 06:21 PM by Zodiak Ironfist
Remove John Bolton from the UN in order to make the actions of that body trustworthy and not reflective of just US interests. Replace him with a respected figure who is a trusted arbiter of the peace, but also is known for not being 100% a dove.

Engage in direct talks with Iran and assure them that as long as their intentions are civil and they are willing to prove that, then we wil encourage their program by helping to negotiate deals for nuclear fuel and infrastructure construction (delivering the power to the people of Iran).

Meanshile, get the hell of out of Iraq and remove George W. Bush from office.

Lastly, use our new connections and Iran's dependence on our continual goodwill to encourage them to make that final jump to a more liberalized society. They were halfway there until the King of Moranistan took office and rattled sabers at them.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that it is easier to influence a friend than an enemy?

Someone needs to buy these people Xboxes and copies of Halo 2 and Vice City so they can quench their bloodlust in a non-destructive way
