Summary and Views on "Should the United States Preemptively Attack Iranian Nuclear Facilities?"

From Mario Loyola's perspective, we, as the United States, should follow through with different sanctions and punishments for Iran's choice to not let the United Nations in to inspect facilities for traces of weapons of mass destruction. Since Iran doesn't have any weapons, we should basically "get them when they're down" and inflict some kind of wound to put them in their place, and to further ensure safety from being the target of W.M.D.s.

Edward N. Luttwak sees this problem in a different way. He tells of the small percentage of people that are actually working against the United States and there are some that have stayed loyal to the way the government was when ruled by the Shah, and many still practice religion different from most Iranians and have opposite ideals from the "extremism" taking place there. He also says that the people of the country are oppressed culturally and socially, and who are we to tear these people down when they could eventually be our allies?

I tended to agree with Luttwak, because even though Iran is making/attempting to make W.M.D.s, you never know when another revolution will come along and the Iranians are more free to do the things they would like to happen.
