I'm indulging in some sloppy brainstorming here, honest reactions welcomed...
Nuclear Iran
While things in Iraq seem to be working themselves out, now I think its time to set off a little bomb in the Iranian nuclear project, before some of the Iranian radicals start thinking they're free to cook up nukes to use on us. There's no reason to work so hard against terrorist capability in other places while neglecting such a threat.
Here's hoping the Israelis will take charge and catch the heat. I would volunteer for an Israeli-sponsored international strike force to blow away the Iranian nuclear complex. There's no reason for terrorism to be such a one-way function.
These people developing their nuclear program have it far too easy, leveraged by borrowing existing technology from others who already bore all the risks and paid the real costs. It wouldn't take much to discourage this kind of enterprise. Rupture a few containment vessels and the site will glow in the dark for 5000 years. And billions in infrastructure investment will be untouchable.
Then let the Iranians raise a hue and cry about nuclear poisoning in their own backyard.
