Well Perry I am certainly no military expert and I would be interested in responses from people like Daniel and Tracy. It just seems to me that you can't bomb an entire country / culture out of existence. Hence you only end up with more resentment, more anger, and more hatred (plus unusable radioactive oil). Such a war would surely spell a disastrous economic meltdown the world over which will affect the affluent nations far more than the poor ones. The economic fallout in the west would affect millions of people. How does anyone walk away a winner in that scenario?
