That's exactly what I was looking for: How would YOU deal with Iran? Obviously, what I proposed was a way to deal with a worst-case scenario: All else has failed...the only option left is the military option. Carpet-bombing with B-52s is a non-starter...ICBMs to turn the place into a molten lake won't pass muster here or with the world community...so you're left with exploring the most efficient way to accomplish the objective: Kill the electricity and you kill the program.

I suppose I should start another thread: What would YOU do about Syria?

I'm siding with Zeke and Pete on this one.
As a peace gesture to the mullas we should deliver the deceased Shah as they have demanded. The Cromwellian solution usually quiets down the hubbub and the rabid warmongers go back to sharpening their long knives in the dark.

OP, taking out the power grid as you've envisioned violates quite a few conventions and treaties that we've fostered. Just because we've essentially used the Geneva Convention for toilet paper once or twice doesn't mean a logical precedent has been established, I hope.

Better yet , invite them to take out Miami or LA if that'll make them feel better. Randy Newman said it best" Let's drop the big one and see what happens. Boom goes London, boom Paris." I'm with Neo, today!
