A Naval blockade is an act of war. Are you suggesting we declare war on Iran? An interesting idea, but it should be reserved for another thread.

My interpretation of your post is that the majority of Iranians are moderates? Widely discussed, but as yet undetermined.

If, in fact, the majority of Iranians are not moderate, but, in fact, loyal to their government and fiercely proud of their country, you have then opened a whole 'nuther can of worms.

You're ass-u-ming they think as you. Not something I, personally, want to risk. And the risks that go along with out-and-out war with Iran are many.
