There are options to solve this problem, some good, some not so good-but I think you're forgetting that, the regime in Iran isn't exactly popular by it's own citizens-there was literally mass protests recently-I think we can find someone to place in charge who will be friendly to the US. Or at least be smart enough to realize that, staying the good side of the US, will ensure they don't get blown to bits like the Ayatollah. Hell maybe we could carve Iran up-give parts of it to the neighbors if they want it-no more Iran-one less middle eastern country-and the neighbors getting a bit bigger-there are also I forget their name, but that minority group-the Kurds I believe? I'm sure they'd be happy to have their own little nation. Could just bomb them so much, that the nation is unable to survive or have to spend decades rebuilding before they can even think about picking another fight.
I'm no expert, so I can't say what would be the best solution-but those are just a few off the top of my head-so long as we make it to where these guys who have been chanting death to the West for nearly half a century are finally put down and no longer threatening others, I'll be happy if we manage that-if nothing else, at least this war will cripple them for a while, and kick the can of worms of them trying to harm us a bit further down the road-but I'd prefer it be solved NOW obviously.
