Did you actually read what I wrote? Iran already faces the end. As I said, this is a move that is likely to be the best of bad options. Most likely the Iran government is just finished. Israel has already killed much of the leadership via assassinations.

I did and I don't disagree. My fear is that the result of such an action would garner support for a "kill em all and let god sort it out" attitude from many people in the US. Similar to the aftermath of 9/11, specifically Iraq and the weapons of mass destruction debacle. This would be catastrophic for the Iranian people. Maybe I am a bit naive thinking that they would consider this at all.
I mean, attempting to get nuclear weapons to massacre Jews was risking catastrophe for the Iranian people... But it happened anyway and lots of Iranians supported it.
