Iran under no circumstances should be "allowed" to have nuclear weapons (nor capability for that matter).

If anything, this is the real deal that we should have focused instead of silly ol' Iraq. but whatever, what's done is done, no sense in rehashing the past. Iran looms ahead...

I think best course of action:

1. Surgical strike - either "lobbing missiles" as MojoPeiPee said (just not indiscriminately) at strategic targets.

2. Surgical strike a la Israel at Osirik.

3. I'm not sure if invasion is really feasible, it seems like we used our "power up" option in stupid Iraqi mission which kinds of sucks now and limits our options. 10,000 soldier deaths in Iran is better than 100,000s of deaths by nukes later on. Rock and a hard place...

4. Security Council NOT an option: China, Russia will veto for sure any action put forth. That's the problem with the UN. Either disband the damn thing or make it "legit" and give it some muscle and teeth.

If we move on Iran, North Korea might get the hint and we may get two birds with one stone.
