Should the U.S. "obliterate" Iran if it launches a nuclear attack on Israel?
Hillary Clinton has said she will "obliterate" Iran if it should launch a nuclear attack on Israel.
The Boston Globe has characterized this position as Hillary Strangelove.
A list of international responses is at Daily Kos.
Are Clinton's remarks the words of someone who has crossed the Commander in Chief threshold and can be trusted with the power of the U.S Presidency or are they those of someone too dangerous, intemperate, and irrational for the job on Day 1 or at 3:00am?
To put this question into some context, this is Iran.

If she means "obliterate" in the sense that I understand the meaning of the word then I would say no, but if Iran should attack Israel with a nuclear strike then it would be in the best interests of the world to deal with a rogue nation like Iran, and I am talking more than a slap on the wrist. But I don't see this as something the an issue important the U.S. but every other sovereign nation on the planet.
