10/1    Suppose the Iranians declared that it has launcheable nukes today
        and that it is willing to use it if any Western power interferes,
        what are some steps we can do to neutralize them?
        \_ "neutralize" them. Let me guess, you're a big white dick and you
           have the right to fuck whoever you please because you're a bad
           ass American and you are free to fuck whoever you want.
           \_ So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because
              pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes
        \_ Announce that we're going to saturation nuke them in 3 days to remove
           the threat unless they disarm, and if the civilians don't take
           matters into their own hands to remove the antagonistic leadership,
           they assume complicity.  Hope our missle defense works in case they
           retaliate.  Follow through.
           \_ I wonder whether we'd have our first born-and-bred coup
        \_ Enter detente just as we did with Soviet Union.
        \_ Of course, they might just be pulling a Saddam trying to make
           everyone think they have nukes when they really don't, to try to
           goad an invasion--remember, the Iranian pres. actually believes he
           needs to start a massive conflagration in order for the Mahdi to
           return.
