We need a president who favors indirect methods over frontal assaults. Our spy web was neatly dismanted during the Clinton administration and we need to double it from what it was before that. The scale of the human intelligence network we should have in the field now dwarfs what we had even during the Cold War peak. We don't need carpet bombing, we need to orchistrate scandals within the Iranian government. We don't need tank columns, we need black-ops and poison experts. We don't need public executions, we need silent disappearences.
I've said this before, and so long as it's trendy to quote Sun Tzu in this thread "in war, one must find what the enemy treasures most and attack it". The enemy puts blind faith in its religious leaders, do not kill them, discredit and humiliate them. Then the mobs and fanatics will have no one to direct their blind energy and can be disposed of quietly.
