Sen. Clinton: Here's what 'totally obliterating' Iran would look like.

An answer may have arrived today with the release of 10 photos taken in the immediate aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima.

These photographs, http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/smalloy/atomic_tragedy/photos.htmltaken by an unknown Japanese photographer, were found in 1945 among rolls of undeveloped film in a cave outside Hiroshima by U.S. serviceman Robert L. Capp, who was attached to the occupation forces. Unlike most photos of the Hiroshima bombing, these dramatically convey the human as well as material destruction unleashed by the atomic bomb. Mr. Capp donated them to the Hoover Archives in 1998 with the provision that they not be reproduced until 2008.

Yes, Senator Clinton, a nuclear Iran would pose a threat. But is alarmist and irresponsible rhetoric about "totally obliterating" another nation a rational means to deal with this potential threat? Frankly, I think we've heard enough "cowboy talk" the last seven years to last us two or three lifetimes.

1. Thanks for the topic

2. I wonder if that offer of obliteration still stands if we are talking about russia or even china...

nuking israel? Of course not, and they have about the same probabilty of nuking israel as iran does. Israel has nukes, probably hundreds, all of which can reduce iran to ash. Iran knows this. So does clinton (she better if she wants to be president). Her comments were pure and utter nonsense, and show how immature her middle east politics are at this stage.
