Does anyone wonder what type of dialogue took place when discussing the expected collatoral damage?

The asnwer is they were looking to break the back and demoralize the enemy. It worked.

And we were the worlds fastest developing, most civilized population on the planet (of sorts).

So what makes ANYBODY think that a country like Iran whose leadership openly states their goal is to obliterate Israel from the map?
How about the continual reference to us infedels and the vow to rid the world of our kind? How about ISIS back by Iran calling for the death of and to " burn America" and stop it in it's tracks.

Will the naieve and those drinking the part kool aide please step to the left side of the room.

Iran is developing a nuclear capability for one purpose and one purpose only just like we did. And now to have any doubt about whether the Russians supplying missles is a good or bad thing is just plain outright being stupid about reality. Those missles are known meapons that work. All Iran has to do is get the war head which is obviously closer than many would like to hope. Just ask Obama and watch the dodge and weave answers (again).

Some need to care about the potential that there could be a Hiroshima or Nagasaki on our turf in our grand children's lifetime.
