BBC News - US weighs Iran military option


Interesting.. Read the whole article.. what do you guys think?

If Iran decides to go for nuclear weapons, the US may not be able to permanently stop this from happening unless it is willing to occupy the country.

This is the candid conclusion of one US general testifying in front of the Senate but one that seems to have gone mostly unnoticed amid a flurry of statements on Iran over the past few days in Washington.

Gen James Cartwright, one of America's top uniformed officers, slowly edged towards that conclusion during a Senate testimony last week, underscoring the difficult choices facing the Obama administration as it weighs what do about Iran.

Sometimes, we have to make very difficult choices, but ultimately, a choice must be made. The choice we make will have its supporters and its critics. What really matters, is the choice we make and the impact of that choice?

Iran should not, will not and cannot make a mockery of common sense. Powerlines blow all the time, but actually moving the powerlines to different location is a very rare event. This attempt at shifting the balance of power must not and will not succeed, for the sake of humanity.

Its the only choice available.
