I notice some Republican politicans raving what a good idea it would be for the US air force to bomb Iran, including the Russian built reactor there.

Now there is one tiny problem with bombing that reactor, it is Russian manned.
Killing three or four hundred Russian civilians might just make Vlad the impaler a little peefed.

So Republicans is it worth it knowing that the Russians will get payback for those casualties ?
And no, raving that the US is a nuclear power will do nothing to frighten the Russians.

Killing Russians will be the least of their problems.

As you said it is only "some" Republicans. There are some idiots in every group regardless of their ideology.

Vlad the Impaler was Romanian not Russian.

Democrats know nothing about the military. They will give everyone ample notice that the facilities will be bombed. Russians, Iranians and Cindy Sheehan. Just like in Kosovo, remember?

Interesting, I served alongside American Democratic types when that bloke Tancredo was whining that the thought of him being in Vietnam made him depressed.
You served in which combat zone ?
And if the Russians state sod off,what then ?
Which Americans do you choose to die for payback by the Russians ?

Yes, some are completely, certified MAD... its sort of odd for some people to want Iran to not produce nuclear weapons when Israel has enough nukes to bomb the entire world over and yet nobody is pressuring them to join the nuclear arms treaty... this is probably the main motivator for Iran to produce nukes... yet nobody is even ASKING for Israel to give up their nukes... I bet as soon as India or Pakistan give up their nukes, the other side would as well... but that's politics, don't solve problems so politics would continue to exist...

Then again, Israel has never vowed for Iran to "be wiped from the face of the earth", as Iran has promised to do to them. Doesn't this add a little perspective to your arms control proposition?
