I suggested brute force in response to the article on which this thread was posted. The current situation I believe should be addressed as follows: Since Iran looks to be attempting a certain level of international dialogue on the matter, that avenue should be examined. However, covertly, the US/UN should maintain a strong presence in the flow of Uranium and related materials coming from Africa, as well as restrict the flow of technology that is available to the Iranians. Being able to enrich Uranium for weapons grade material appears to be a question of when, not if. Limiting the technology that would enhance the missile platform capabilities looks to be the appropriate course of action for the meantime. As far as the regime is concerned, the world needs to place such downard pressure on the government so that Iran doesn't play tag along to North Korea.
