>In case of bombing Tehran, the pro-bombing argument that it will prevent that the Iranians can further develop a bomb is probably true and therefore cannot really be undermined.

AS I mentioned before this would be a lot different from "Bombing teheran to a parking lot". It will be a preemptive strike on Irans nuclear installations, much like the isrealis did some odd 20 years ago (I truly can't remember the year).

With bombing a city to a parking lot, the goal is entirely different. It is to show your muscless and warn them if they don't listen, the whole country will be bombed flat. It is pure intimidation and himuliation with absolutely no respect to human life.

Those two different military approaches are VERY different and would have VERY different results.

I'm not reacting on the posibility of bombing the nuclear installations in one military strike (as I know that might happen somewhere in the future), but on the (very arrogant, ignorant and dumb) remark of bombing Teheran to a parking lot.
