Additionally, while the US may have been right to not interfere too directly with the Green Movement in Iran, it is now clear that they have no ability to change the situation (at least for the time being). As such, I don't think we should base any Iran policy considerations on how the Green Movement will be affected. If bombing them will "kill" a movement that is impotent anyway, and bombing will set the regime back in its progress towards a bomb, then I say bomb. Bomb now. Bomb often. Keep bombing until we have been bombing Iran every day for ten years. Destroy every bridge, power station, barracks, factory and tank in the nation if need be, Green Movement be damned.
Just that she got the job largely for domestic political reasons, whereas one might argue the position was too important for that and should have gone to the best possible candidate.
As for Iran, it's kind of hard to see how bombing anything not related to the nuclear project is at all useful except if it should come to open warfare with Iran attacking Israel or the Americans in Iraq (or Afghanistan, I suppose).

If we were to bomb their nuclear facilities it would end up in a general war. We know that.
