#1 I'm not to sure about the nuke thing here. We have very capable conventional weapons that can do equal harm to their military and nuclear infrastructure. The point that we need to do something is spot on, the sooner the better. I know, groundhog day here for me but I'll say it again, seize all their banking assets, Strike their military reducing it to the destroyed level, strike the nuke sites and research centers, and finally hit the political centers and the radical mullahs. We need to have people on the ground to help organize the students into forming the new government. Done, I feel better now.

#5 WOW! A Canukistani with huevos! It's either a miracle or the beginning of a backlast against Islam.

I can have hope.

#6 To repeat - fill retired 747 freighters and the old B-58 supersonic bombers (all sitting in desert boneyards) to the brim with high explosives. Replace pilot controls with computer remote control - very easy for the B-58 as it was the first fly-by-wire attempt (that failed due to the slow audio tape responses interfering with each other) - and use them as giant cruise missiles!

#7 The main airports would be real easy. Paint the 747s to resemble freighters of the EU folks selling them banned technology and fly them right into a landing at the cargo ports....

#8 Same for junk freighters into their military seaports.

NK missile freighter look-alike, filled with high exposives - into ...bang!

Time on delivery!

#9 The 911 Commission said there was a lack of imagination, not so with this article.

Make it so

#10 "Frankly, it would be churlish of the civilized world to deny martyrdom to those who seem so intent on its pursuance."
Suitable for framing.

#14 What 49 Pan said. Don't use nuclear weapons but most definitely make their obsessive death-wish come true. Never has a given country begged so fervently for obliteration nor so richly deserved it. Their belligerence is exceeded only by their monumental hubris. They want martyrdom? Let them have it, in spades.

#15 I would H-B Qom - the unholy center of Ayatollah power - and the nuke research sites. If Shiite power is destroyed, then the Straits of Hormuz can be occupied. They are more important strategically than the Panama Canal ever was.

#16 Re #6: B-58 Hustlers rule! Cutting-edge late '50's avionics, and a beautiful plane to boot! I guess it would make a better Kamikazi than a Mitsubishi Zero anyday!
