What are the costs of that strategy in this situation? reasons it wasn't implement? (Besides stupidity -- I mean, were there reasons that path was NOT followed, reasonably?)
Actually, if we were trying to not lose our "good cop" status, that failed miserably as well.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea. People say nuclear weapons are a last resort. I don't understand why. If someone points a gun at a cop, he doesn't try diplomacy there. He shoots the motherfucker dead and explains himself later.
The same example can be applied towards nations. If one nation is threatening you, you annihilate said nation.
Now granted if we were at a military disadvantage, we'd take a different position. But right now, we're the only ones with the stealth fighters.
