The case for nuking Iran
First, some history. In the 1930's and 1940's Japan was one of the most militaristic states, bent on the world domination, periodically adding new territories to its empire by way of military conquest. It was one of the biggest enemies of the US at that time, and its animosity toward the US culminated on December 7, 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor which prompted the US to declare war on Japan and formally enter the WWII.
Fast forward to 1945. By that time, US, UK, Australia, Netherlands, New Zealand and Canada were fighting Japan in the Pacific and East Asia for some 4 years. In August of 1945, USSR joined in. While the Soviets were pounding Japan's Kwantung Army in the campaign that began on August 8, 1945, two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, went up in mushroom clouds on August 6 and August 9, courtesy of the US. A few days later, Japan had surrendered, was occupied and given a new constitution written by the US.
Since then, Japan has been one the closest friends and allies of the US; hence the logical conclusion - nuking makes your enemies into your friends. Let's befriend Iran.
