What do we do about Iran?

Iran defiant

Rather than an invasion I think some precision air strikes (akin to Israel's against Iraq's nuclear reactor in the 1980s) are definitely in order. But then Israel may simply go ahead and do just that while the rest of the world argues about it.

I'm sure Kerry's solution would be to offer the Iranians aid as was done for N. Korea. Didn't work then and it won't work now.

An Invasion is out of the question given the current deployment of troops.
What I hear Iran is the most likely to fall to an Peoples uprising,With the Youth most disenchanted, so maybe some sort of covert sabotage and cooperation is required.
I bet we get that job, were rather good at that.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's true! No country can top the UK when it comes to sneakiness. LOL. When we were forming the CIA in the late 1940s we learned a lot from your Special Services (I think that's what it's called) and the Americans were surprised to find a copy of a letter hanging on the wall in the Chief's office written by George Washington on the importance of good intelligence. It's in the book I'm reading I mentioned earlier.

British propaganda has long been the model other nations can only follow and copy. The Zimmerman Note was a British forgery (believed to have been the brainchild of Churchill) which purported to be German offers to Mexico to invade the US during WWI and was the "final straw" that pushed the US into the conflict. The Lusitannia was also a major factor and many believe that Great Britain secretly hoped it would be torpedoed in order to incur American wrath at Germany.
