What about this idea...

R.L. — 8/14/2005 3:29:55 AM (archived)

I have always thought that one way to destroy a totalitarian regime is to show the oppressed what life is like in the free world... dropping 10's of thousands of small computers that could access the internet without the mullahs control could lead to revolution... best of all no bombs are required...

I would support bombing to destroy any Iranian nuclear weapon program, but invasion is not practical nor can it be justified at this point....
