We are now talking about an enemy who doesn't care about death. If anything, they glorify it at all turns.
If Iran (or its supporters) gets the bomb, nothing will prevent them from wiping out Israel - and then coming after us - because they don't and won't care about reprisal. Hell, the Iranian PM publicly declares this every other day.
The real question - the scary one - is HOW many lives will be lost before we have to take them out for good?

Dude, you can't take them all out for good. I'm with you. I think there's a malignant sector of the Arab world you can do nothing with but kill.
But you can't "take them out." There are too many, and the act of taking them out just creates more of them.
The best we can do is contain them with strongmen. We have Libya under control... We need to get back to installing dictators. You can't let these nuts pick their own govts.
Until we somehow educate these people and give them money, they'll be Islamic nuts, and nothing we can do with them. Nukes wouldn't even work. The fuckers aren't advanced enough to respond sensibly, like the Japanese. They're still tribal over there. Break the leader and you get a million cockroaches running all over the place, fighting one and another and only uniting to fight us.
Evolution is the only solution to the Arab Street.
