Given the recent refusal of the Iranian government to comply with UN efforts to halt it's nuclear program, and the following news, what do YOU think that the US should do? Everyone here (myself included) has commented on Iraq , looking back, but can any of us figure out what to do here?


"The missiles were proudly displayed last month during a military parade in Tehran with banners draped over them saying "we will crush Israel and the U.S."

Observers say Iran's latest missile proclamations may be directed at Israel, which has been threatening in recent weeks to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.

If the new Shahab-3 matches Iran's claims, not only would Israel be within its range, but so would be parts of Europe, Russia, China and India.

If true it would also likely further raise international concerns about Iran's missile and nuclear activities.

Iran has said all along that its missile program is one of deterrence, its nuclear activities for the peaceful production of electricity."

hindsight is 20/20- but are we blind to the future?
