Bang on Amsterdam. If Iran was to initiate a nuclear attack it would be obliterated! No nation would do something so stupid. More likely, Torog, they want it as a deterrent to stop invasion by another nation. To suggest a pre-emptive nuclear strike is a bit extreme surely? You're absolutely right though that they should be stopped from using nukes. But not through holocaust. They don't even have bloody nukes, let alone the capability to use them against America. It sounds like racism.
