Ahmadinejad, Saddam, and Ghaddafi

All this news about how hard it will be to hit Iran's nuclear installations to deal with the threat fails to take a look at recent history. When we were concerned about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, we targeted the "leadership" (Saddam); the same was true with Ghaddafi, we attempted to get him twice instead of bombing the desert in the hope of finding weapons. Why is this not an option when we have identified Iran as a nation of terror; the same as was done with Iraq and Libya. It addition, Iran is killing US troops and is the enemy of our friends. If the decision is made to attack Iran by the US or Israel, it should follow the precedent of Iraq and Libya, and opt for the easier targets of Iran's leadership. The easiest road to defeating Iran is to "cut the head off the snake".
