One, I don't think Iran would ever launch a preemptive strike for the simple fact that the Iranian military isn't capable of doing so. Its basically still at the moment a internal security and defensive force.

The problem with you second thread is that you and many others are basing your belief that the attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima on hind sight. Which is a powerful tool but unfortunately only happens after the fact. Even with hindsight the claim that the bombs were not needed to end the war are on shaky ground. To ever truly decided whether a decision was right or wrong one must shed the views of their time and try looking at it through the eyes of the people who made the decision using only the info that they had behind them.
