Nuking Iran wouldn't go over very well with certain parts of the world. It could also set off another cold war with Russia and China since they both are in bed with Iran.

A "cold" war would be a best-case scenario. Hillary is blatantly and unambiguously threatening nuclear war.

Clinton further displayed tough talk in an interview airing on Good Morning America Tuesday, ABC News' Chris Cuomo asked Clinton what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president we will attack Iran," Clinton said. "In the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

So she'd kill 70 million people in retaliation for an attack on Israel.

That's to be expected though, isn't it, regardless of who throws the first punch. The idea is to incapacitate Iran to such a degree that it wouldn't have much, if anything left to retaliate with.

It's all a moot point anyway. Israel would clean Iran's clock if there was a nuclear exchange. The only way the US is involved is if a country other than Iran is involved. Israel has more than enough strength to deal with Iran.
