Hundreds of thousands of American soldiers' lives were saved and World War II was ended by the destruction of two cities in Japan.

First of all, back in 1945 we were the only country on earth that had the atom bomb, and therefore there was no way anyone could retaliate in kind. The world has changed since then. Many countries now have the ultimate weapon and if we use it, it will give others the greenlight to use it, and then we're all screwed.
And second, there is no comparing WWII with the war in Iraq.

One if we do that we'll give tons of innocent people cancer like we did with Japan and Vietnam. Two we'll make the Middle East mad as Hell and possibly cause them to freeze the oil we get from them. Three Iran might decide that's a perfect time to attack the USA and get in a war with us if they decide to attack us in the first place. And fourth because that is a stupid way to win a war especially one that we lost the moment we stepped on Iraqi soil.

Are you kidding me? Around 3000 American soldiers died for Bush's cowboy complex, and that is horrbile. What is worse is the 600,000 + Iraqis that have died for it.
Even if the Iraqis were responsible for 9/11, I think pay back has been dealt....

I'd have to say it would be much simpler. Though what happened in Japan was horrifying and very tragic. I don't think our problem resides in Iraq. The sad truth is, that it is Saudi Arabia where the fundie Islam is taught and fed.

Because it would result in the destruction of the United States. And we'd deserve it.

Yes, or at least "kick **s and take names." we can not fight a limited war, that has been proven all though out history.

I've said it all along.......
A large bomb would have settled alot of issues.
Why beat around the bush with all of this "strategic" bombing crap? They got us....therefore...we should have gotten them...a long time ago....like say, 9/12/01?
