4. Third time's the charm? Iraq and Afghanistan turned out almost perfect. Practice, practice, practice.

Unless someone puts boots on the ground in Iran and secures the Iranian's enriched uranium, if this is anything really about stopping them (or someone they give the uranium to) from getting a dirty bomb, this is just target practice. Even if they take out all the heavy weapons, missiles, gun boats, etc., the only folks with any weapons will still be the Revolutionary Guard and internal security forces. Maybe they will say enough and we can try some government approach that is less top down and theocratic but human nature when they have power of any sort makes that pretty unlikely.
