#1 I've been saying for a couple of years, ever since the first story of a shortage of refined products first came out that thats how we can hurt them. Don't bomb their squalid little enrichment facilities, destroy a refinery everytime they commit some dispicable act. After about 2 or 3 they will be in a real pickle. People in Iran riot at the slightest anomoly in the gasoline supply. Refineries are easy to hit, they have no proteciton, no anti-aircraft batteries, very flammable, and would make a dazzling display. A couple of pipelines added to that and I think we would have their attention.

#2 The Iranians make money from oil exports. Shut down the exports, and you shut down the flow of money. It wouldn't take much to totally destroy Iran's export capability. I'm sure Israel could do it with their diesel subs and sub-launched cruise missiles. They have a reason: Iran supports Hezbollah. We ought to let them do it, and see what happens.

#3 We think alike OP. Shut off the exports. We don't have to take out a single refinery.
