Bomb Iran? Maybe not a good idea

As the critical vote on the Iranian nuclear deal nears, politicians of all ilk keep calling for military action against Iran as the alternative. The necessity appears to be more driven by the need to curry favor with Israel, than any other reason. John McCain thought it was cute when he publicly used a parody of a 1965 Beach Boys release of Barbara Ann and sang "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran."

There is no doubt that the current leadership of Iran poses a significant threat throughout the world. They have been a state sponsor of terrorism ever since Ayatollah Khomeini led a revolution that ousted Shah Pahlavi in 1979. Their reach has been far and wide including our southern hemisphere with a bombing attack against a Jewish target in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1994.
