Those people that think we do need to do so, need to study history for the reason why Iran feels the need to go nuclear in the first place. Another case where violence is begetting violence and the answer for some is more violence.
If we had left them alone back in 1953, would they be doing this now? Most likely not. Just like Iraq will come back to extract its revenge from us in a couple of generations.
